Dang ice got me...

Well the dang ice got me on my way home from work today. :mad: Out of work early, off to WalMart at Milford (doing my part to help the economy); going home via entrance ramp onto 275S. Hit a patch and lost it. Spun I have no idea how many times, across all 3 lanes and hit the guardrail twice-ish. Stopped on the right shoulder; looking at traffic. Moved car enough to look and front bumper pushed in enough that it's hitting tire. Well now what should I do, as I sit in the rain. I did the only thing I could think of...and 'phone a friend'. Little while later, Armstrong and Pater show up trailer in tow, get me home ok, and take my x90 back to Armstrong's shop to see damage.

All in all, I'm ok. Sore and bet tomorrow is gonna be worse (Merry Christmas). While waiting, I got to watch 4 vehicles spin out as well as meet a nice State Patrolman, who was kind enough to write me a $95 ticket 2 1/2 hrs after the accident because I was a dumbass and stayed there, (my bad, I was warned it could happen). But it could have been much worse so I'm thankful, although my cute little purple car is hurt now. Here are a few pics from the camera phone.

To Armstrong & Pater -- You guys can't imagine how relieved I was to see the big sexxy black truck pull up behind me, trailer in tow...knowing my support had arrived. Thank you doesn't begin to cover it, but it's a start. Thank you thank you both!!!
