    My IX and the guard rail meet!

    After a night of rain/sleet, heading to work this morning came around the same corner i do every morning. Only this time i started going sideways, tried to correct it. It wasn't enough, and i said hello to the guardrail.

          Sorry to hear that. Looks fixable to me.

              no snow tires though?

              $200 in tires could have saved you a lot of pain.. just saying. :(

                      and to think, you just put those snow tires on too! I busted my ass coming down my driveway this morning if that makes u feel any better.

                      A Ford Explorer w/ a mom & her 2 kids flipped by my house this morning. Black ice was no joke.

                        The weather sucked last night into this morning in Jersey. Sorry you got caughtby the randomness of black Ice.

                        Hopefully when it is all said and done your car will look even fresher.
