Exclamation Slow down and Drive Safe!!!

Guys be careful out there... I was on my way home from Pete base south on Powers (Live in Fountain). Right after the left hand turn to Schirever I hit a patch of ice and put the Z in the ditch. No major damage but I do have about a 4" x 4" dent in the front right bumper. Luckly some Army guys stopped and pulled me out. I'll post pics tomorrow of the damage.

Everything seems to be ok, other than the dent. Once I get a warm day out I'll take it out to be sure. It drove striaght on the way home last night and had the alignment done this past friday, so I know thats good. Looked underneath last night and just a bunch of snow, so I'll look again tonight when I get home. Just becareful guys... I'm very lucky cause my front end was about two feet from the on-coming traffic.

Unfortunately, it seems that every idiot who bought themselves and SUV is oblivious to this fact. Sorry about your car.
