my bias against winter grows...
so earlier today im heading through my subdivision on the way to work. as it happens, there is an elementary school that i have to pass by, and it was some genius ****ing civic planner's (or whoever) idea to build a giant transformer box right in front of the exit from the school. anyway, the main point is not the box but the fact that snow was piled up a mile high around it.
anyway, a lady exiting did not see me due to the snow and WHANG right in the passenger side door as i was passing by. of course, i saw the collision coming by the time i couldnt stop (because it was winter and the ****ing road was slippery) so i started to swerve since the other traffic in the street had sense enough not to continue. but the other car kept moving the required half a foot in order to hit me and i was thinking its no great loss i was hoping to replace that door this season anyway.
anyway, we settled it on the spot and since i was close to home and had no information on me i had a friend in the neighbourhood come along. then i turn the car, looking, as i always do, for miles in each ****ing direction so that i could back up and head back home. all clear. so i back up and start moving the car forward thinking it's all clear when i realize:
"holy ****! i cant see anything out my window! id better sto-----BAM! just as i start to press the brakes i hit my escort who, for some DUMBASS reason, stopped in the middle of the ****ing street. i had no seatbelt on at the time since i was planning on pulling over in the 10 meters i had gone anyway so i cut my lip on the airbag which didn't deploy since the bumper was not wrecked.
the reason i couldn't see? the same reason i was hit in the first place... ****ING WINTER!!!!!! it was so cold that the window flash-fogged as soon as i got in. anyway, here's pix of the damage but not the door since it's a ****e door anyway
look at this even my fender got bent outta shape
conclusively, this is ****ing bull**** and i am starting on my plans to be ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD BUT CANADA when winter rolls around next year.
ps. team rukus, if you're reading this, spare a space for me in the paintshop... i'll be along as soon as i find a bumper and door!

i forgot to mention... does anyone have a front i can pick up? the door can wait but i'm not willing to drive around in this kind of weather with my frame hangin out like the *** of an obese tv repairman.
on the plus side, the collision managed to fix the ****ed up hood latch that previously made it difficult to close

i agree with you, even without the snow and dry roads, some area are so dangerous, two cars got hit in my area, inside the community, the N/S road has no speed limit yet, or stop signs, and the E/W has stop signs, but the intersection is so big, people have to go almost in the centre to be able to see the left side to make a left, because of the 2 1/2 metre high snow pile. insane, i started taking the longer route, just because of that.
i have seen so many cars with accidents like your lately. btw bad luck, hope you get it fixed soon.
