Guys and Gals,
Just a friendly reminder to be careful when driving around at night. Black ice is starting to show its ugly face again, so be prepared for anything. I found out the hard way last night what it can do to your car.....
I was driving home at about 1.30am, not going hard or fast, turning right from Ashlely Dr onto Sternberg Cres when my car suddenly lost all traction and kicked sideways. being totally un-prepared, i over corrected a little and was sliding towards a 90 degree kerb, with no control WHATSOEVER! All i could do was straighten my wheels and hit the kerb front on. Anyone who knows this area will know that this area has many trees lining the road. I then had to swerve to avoid the trees, but i just clipped one, damaging my drivers door, Qtr panel and side skirt. some how i managed to not damage my suspension (upon 1st inspection, but im sure chris at inline will find something ). i count myself as very lucky, as it could've been alot worse. as you can imagine, i pretty annoyed i'll post up some pics of the damage soon.
So just keep it the back of your mind and be careful
