I was driving to school 2 weeks ago and a white out hit. Saw 4 cars swerving around and smacking into each other so I swerved to miss, which I did. So i decide to try to pull off the road cause I figure 1, its really really icy, and 2. theres probably more cars boucing off each other ahead. So as I am pulling to the side someone rearends me and a knocks me 50ft towards a ditch. The car stops 2 inches from it. Cops come and I find out 30-40 cars were involved. I94 was backed up for 3 hours i guess. My hatch, tail lights and back glass are completly destroyed, the bumper is intact but bashed in. Frame looks good in the rear, though the metal where the tail lights are attached to is smashed in. Front end alighment is off bad. My wheels were turned when I got hit so I think that is what threw it off. Doors open and close normally and it starts and runs fine. Gonna try fixing it but gotta get it back to my house first. Then gonna have the frame checked out by a pro.

I was trying to go to a friends house, and I couldnt make it up to the top of his street, which is a giant hill. after 5 unsuccesfull tries, I gave up and went home.
a guy at my school has a 97 30th anniversary camaro, he was doing doughnuts in the parking lot, and slid into a curb, bending both rims, messed up a K member, and dented his drivers side door in.

I drove to school today and got stuck on a small hill trying to park. I was trying to get it in a spot, then a pickup truck came in front of me wanting to get by. Being the nice guy I am, I backed up and let him go by so I could try again. In doing so, i got stuck on ice. A bit of maneuvering with the gas pedal, steering wheel, and reverse a few times, I finally gout out and got in the parking spot. Good thing I got LSD. I have been driving sideways all over the place... they really need to cloean these ****ing roads and parking ltos better, it is ****ing ridiculous.
