Default OOPS!

Roads being what they are here in Michigan, I slid thru an intersection this morning, picked off a sign,and ened up in a ditch. I managed to drive into the corn field, down the field, back thru the ditch, and keep going. Thank God for front wheel drive. My car? Not sure yet. At least the drivers door and rear fender will get re-painted. Not sure about underside damage. What drivers mirror?
OOPS! I will post pics when I get home. Not the way Iwanted to start my day!

Hi `Wayne,
Sorry to read of your mis-fortune : (, but it's easier to repair your
Monte, then yourself.
Glad to read that you were not injured personally, but I know how
much you love your Monte, and I know how much it hurts when it's injured.
(Plus the costs 2 repair) [X(]
I try to extract the good from every bad experience. I hope that you can.
I watched the morning news/weather, and your area has really had some
bad weather conditions. I wish you safe `journey's.
Mother Nature can be deadly...Watching the news reminds me how
fragile life can be...I hope the recent tornado's hasn't affected any of
our members or family : (
It's another reminder to enjoy the `Now.
I wish you safer `journey's in your Awesome Monte Carlo SS.
`Space

Glad to hear your okay.
Hopefully the car isn't too bad and can be fixed without too much expense.

Ouch man, I've had a couple close calls around campus here with the ice and snowpack. I almost split a Camry in two the other day when I was turning onto a side road and the front wheels broke loose, saved myself with about six inches of frozen air between my Monte and that Camry. Oh, and the Camry was parked...

Glad to hear you're ok. I don't do the ice driving thing, guess it's a good thing we only get a couple days of it here.

Front air dam $613, Intimidator logo, $154, Fender, $207, labor, paint, and misc, almost $4,200 total. $550 deductible insurance with AAA. It goes in the 18th for the week. Pics tonight. I'm OK thank God. I chose the sign over the car turning the corner. Would have rear ended the car.
Just talked to the boss. We are slow at work. Guess I'm going to take a 4 day weekend, and hope there is work for me Tuesday. Better than the guys that got laid off today!
TODAY SUCKS!

WOW![]

Wayne...my man, you are about to have one fine day... Hold True!

Remember... Crossroads...

"10. Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. 12. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15. and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God." -- Ephesians 6:10-17
