me VS black ice.... black ice won...

So as I have reluctantly kept up with writing anything on my blog I decided I have something that is worth writing about.

As few know I have totaled my car last Monday (during the random snow storm) up on the freeway just past 106th in Sandy. I hit some slush going about 40 that made my car hydroplane a little on black ice with then made my car to fishtail. Luckily I was not near any of the cars on the road but unluckily I slide with my backside fishtailing to the left from the middle lane through the fast lane just in time to have it slide just enough to the right as I passed through the HOV lane right into the concrete barrier head on. as you can see it smashed the front of my car pretty good and both airbags went off.. I actually hardly hit the airbag as I braced myself for collision. the cab of the car was not harmed in anyway. I was not injured other than the normal tense soreness in my muscles and a loud ringing in my ear from the airbags going off.. Here are the pictures





update: the car is worth $10,089 my deductable is $500 and I owe $4,800 so I will be getting something back. Luckily it was as well as it was. I didnt think I would get that much from it.
I now need to start looking for a new car. yey for me...
