Default Bad News:ice is slippery

I was goin 50mph and hit some ice, my rear tires whiped around 180 degress and into a snow bank.The impact was enought to blow out the drivers door, and damage the front bumper, drivers fender, drivers door, dented the quater, dented the gas door, cracked the tail light, and bent the drivers exhaust.

Sorry im to embarassed to post pic, but on the bright side no bumps, no scratches, no bruses, and the air bags didnt deploy.

On a bighter note, i might order a silk auto front bumper

As for the fender and door will be replaced, and the dent will be pulled out.

The drivers door glass will have to be re tinted, and vent shaded. And the tail light with be re nite shaded.

I have alot of work to do b4 car show season, be safe out there guys.

Default watch that ice !

Glad you weren't injured except for your pride. Sounds like you took a pretty
good hit but the car did it's job and absorbed all that energy. I 've spun on
on ice a couple of times in my life time......once while a 18 wheeler was behind me.
I was driving a 78 Chevette... !
This would , be a good time to do any body modifications to it. Don't know
much about those products but they look alright.
Glad you're safe.......watch that ice in the future.

I'm glad you are OK. You have to get your Monte back in shape so we (Us Southern WI, Northern IL folks) can cruise some shows this summer!
