Believe me i did not want to be out there in that cold or that late, but my parents heat went out ( so damn cold the diesel oil turned into a slushy and couldn't spray throught nozzle of the oil burner!!!) So anyway i had to drive to their house to try and get that heat runnin. I didn't get it going till about 12:00 midnight. I left for my 40 minute drive to my house prolly going a litttle to quick on a back road cuz i really wanted to get home, and lost it on a downhill bend...

hit the ditch doin about 60. passengerside dug in the bottom of the ditch, under carriage grinding along bottomed out on the edge of the ditch/road, and driver side about 6-8 inches off the road. I slid about 50 feet in that position before coming to a stop. engine was still runnin but i shut it off till i could check every thing out.

had a friend come with a truck and pull me out. brakes were weak as hell(probly all the snow and mud packed into the passenger side) got onto the road popped the hood. No oil/antifreeze/gas leaks...thank god. no flat tires etc. so i decided to drive it the rest of the way.

around 45 i got a really bad thumping coming from front passenger side.And a bad shim . tire was flat this morning when i got up so maybe it was low last night. brakes feel fine now so it probably was snow packed into it when i got out. and i'm missing a mud flap.
other than that i'll have to wait till monday to get her up on the lift at work. hopefully nothing a tire and alignment won't fix.

No body damage at all luckily

i have no idea how a car can slide in a ditch on it side and not have body damage but it did it.

Anyway i may have lucked out!!! I guess i'll know for sure monday.

yeah that sucks, them recruiters can be such buddy fuc*ers, we have a phrase for this saying, "semper I, fuc* the other guy". too bad though, the a/f got the best girls out of the 5 branches.
