So last night Maryland weather decided it wanted to go from 60 degrees the day before to snowing followed by freezing rain. On my way home from a cousin's birthday party I noticed 3 salt trucks that didn't have their plows down and were not even salting the slushy roads. Approaching the turn to my private road I slowed down and attempted to merge into the right hand lane but ended up losing all control and slamming into a curb..... sigh! The pictures show what the passenger tire looks like when I have the steering wheel straight. Now it's time to figure out what my damages are...

Pretty sure you can just gently crash in the opposite direction and everything will be fine. I am taking my truck to get 2 estimates, but trade-in for scrap metal seems in the cards too. Plz inform me if a Tesla is available for <1.0BTC......

Just leave your right blinker on at all times. I see old people do that s#!T all the time. Drift left, blink right.........totally even out.
