Too sad to write this. Photos to follow. Car is at the shop. No injury, except to ego.

RacyTracy · 12-04-2006, 03:14 PM

Oh no!!!! ((((Harold))))

Bavarian Motorist · 12-04-2006, 03:15 PM

Is it really bad...?

Randy Chase · 12-04-2006, 03:17 PM

Crap

Glad you're alright, but that sucks about the car. Drive the daily/beater instead next time!

pchop · 12-04-2006, 03:21 PM

car can be replaced and I'm a firm believer that things happen for a reason. Don't fret and keep your chins up

WhitePlume · 12-04-2006, 03:23 PM

Oh, no! So sorry to hear. Glad your okay.

mikester · 12-04-2006, 03:25 PM

I'm really sorry to hear this, but glad to hear that you're alright.

milehitom · 12-04-2006, 03:29 PM

So sorry to hear. Glad you're OK. Black ice can get any car, unless you have studded tires or chains.

Sorry to hear this. Where did this happen? It's a little cold, but aren't the roads dry where you are? Hasn't rained since Friday.

JnC · 12-04-2006, 03:34 PM

Sorry to hear about it, but glad you're around posting. Hang in there. Cars can be replaced.

nugg_dawg · 12-04-2006, 03:37 PM

What happened?

John

Devious · 12-04-2006, 03:46 PM

Heart breaker.

Glad to hear you're not hurt.

Win · 12-04-2006, 03:48 PM

At least everyone got their free breakfast before this happened.

Sorry, bad joke. Glad you are OK.

Serebo1 · 12-04-2006, 04:05 PM

Argh! So sorry E and glad you're okay. Could happen to anyone.

flyguyskt · 12-04-2006, 04:09 PM

are you the guy that was excited last week about trying the elise out in the 10 inches of snow you just got???

one more reason to put these things away for the winter!

sorry to hear.

EburgE · 12-04-2006, 05:17 PM

This is viewing a body in a morgue.

Serebo1 · 12-04-2006, 05:19 PM

Oh no!

Reminds me of my first accident, damage wise. Glad more than ever you made it out unscathed. How are you feeling?

EburgE · 12-04-2006, 05:22 PM

Physically I am fine. Just really, really sad. Was your car totalled, Serebo?

Was yours the famous "The Scream" art work?
