Another one bites the dust...

Get this, Friday night i was on my way to the bar to have a couple when all of a sudden, I lost controll doing a buck 20 on black ice and the next thing i know im sitting on the side of the road, with both my airbags out, and my lancer about a foot and a half shorter in the front end... Now heres the kick in the pants, I dident have full coverage. Now i need a parts list of the whole front end to fix it.... (as soon as i get pics, i will post.)

That's why you don't drive stupidly fast on Calgary roads. Out of interest, where were you?

you mean you stopped on the side of the track right? There's no good reason at all to go that fast anywhere but at the track

preach it!

120 during summer is one thing but any chance of black ice and theres no way... why not have full coverage on a semi-new vehicle?!?

i was heading south on deerfoot, then i took the exit to glenmore west... The first corner killed it... if you live in calgary, check the road barriers on the left hand side of the first corner on that exit, youll see it...

Wait, so you decided 120, INTO A CORNER, in the winter time. Man, I don't see how you are complaining, it's your own fault.

OOOOHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! MY GOOODDDDDDDD!!!

You my friend should have your eyes gorged out with a spork and then be shot in the face with an airsoft gun at point blank range untill you parish. You have a lancer not an snowmobile... First of all the fact that you were driving that fast in the winter is stupid.. Second of all the fact that you think it was funny that you were going to drink and then obviously drive home makes me furious.. Next time do us all a favor and forget to wear your seatbelt and hang your body out the window.. That way when you get in another accident for being an idiot at least one positive thing will come of it ( the demise of another idiot on the road)

Well don't go too hard on the guy, while it is Canada, it's not like the roads are covered in 3 feet of snow. It's been unusually warm so they're relatively dry.....except at night and going close to double the speed limit (and probably close to triple the recommended speed for that corner).

my buddy was about 50 feet behind me in his jetta, I was gonna drop my car of at his place because he lives a couple of blocks from the bar... As for me being an idiot, ive taken the corner that fast before. I just dident know that ice had settled on the road...
