Driving along today, doo be doo... BAM

Yep

I was in guelph, in the backcountry doing some work. I was driving down this long road to a persons house and I was slowing down to go around a sharp corner when I made the mistake and pressed the brakes too hard, locked up, and rammed into the snow bank pretty far, my car was almost all off the road and in the field

I was trying hard to dig it out but the whole underside was completely stuffed with snow and my tires would just spin. Luckily some of the carpenters from the house were on there way to lunch and drove by and saw me, and pulled me out, but stupid thing for me, is I never got back in the car when he pulled me out so my car kept rolling back across the street and ended up in the ditch on the otherside lol

man what luck

lucky I ran and grapped it and stopped it from doing down into the bush anymore

I hopped in and managed to drive it back up with some help.

then throughout the day working at the house putting up security cameras, I fell under the deck and landed on some styrafoam pads and borke a bunch of them into little pieces ( i hope the home owner didn't need them for anything)

then when aligning the camer i slipped a few times on the grass and fell on my ***

man what a crappy day

and now driving home my car shakes a tom when going past 90km/h

Im guessing its snow build up inside the rim that s throwing it off balance

geeez

That sucks man....I guess you'll have to get an alignment done first of all, and then inspect of the rest of your car. At least you hit a snow bank instead of another vehicle or something.

lol. That situation happened to me last winter.

I was driving home from the girlfriend's house. That evening she really pissed me off so I was stupidly burning out in front of her house and went down her street @ 110 km/h and I saw the stop sign... I pressed the brake and the car wouldn't stop... the road was solid ice. It was just after that massive snow storm we had last year where there was like 15 cm of snow and then freezing rain right after

"Oh ****...! The car won't stop"

I tried to turn the corner but it was like a freight train...! I went straight through the stop sign... sailed CLEAR over a ditch.. and onto the front lawn of a person in that area. Thankfully I didn't hit the house. I must have stopped 2 feet from the house! Otherwise I would have written off my car and damaged part of that house. I was about 1 cm from missing a light pole with my side view mirror when I cleared the ditch.

I checked my car.. no damage except for I was lucky. I was a bit shaken but other than that.. No damage!
woohoo!

LoL at the mad at GF post...
I do that too, it seems to be like a habit...when they **** you off all of the sudden i shift at 6000 and not 3000 like usually..

Ya sometimes when they're in the car and they **** you off you gotta scare them by taking it to 7000....i've never resorted to such high RPM's yet, she'd have to do something REAAAL bad for that
