Unhappy accident

if you guys know pg county area... like on 495 keniworth ave exit 23 i hit the side railing last night.. funny how i wasnt even speeding because of like the ice and snow but i still slid like crazy.. its my fault that i was out at that time but... i guess im just screwed.. but what boggles my mind is how.. i missed the intercooler piping by like 2 mm.. like my fender caved into the wheel well and i was able to drive off the scene... and still hear my bov go off so i guess none of the piping came loose... then like a 1/4 mile down i just stopped and was like **** it.. called a tow truck and took it to my uncles shop.. i guess i should just be thankful i did hit the side railing head on....

note: i have brand new tires kumho escta supra tires ... just got them the other day.. so having new tires wouldnt have prevented this....

Aren't the supra summer tires? They will have zero snow traction, and perform poorly in cold weather.


Glad your uncle owns a shop. There is usually an abundance of work and a long wait at shops after some snow.
