i was on my way home from a friends house and i headed into a right turn going too fast and i started to slide sideways on the ice. i ended up being stopped by a snowbank on the side of the road. i got out and assessed the damage. the side-view mirror was gone, there were a few dents, but nothing too significant. then i managed to maneuver my way out of the snowbank and drive home. once home, i had to tell my mother (i am 17 years old) what had happened. so then we went to a body shop to get an estimate. the guy at the shop found several other dents that i had not seen, including a rather significant one on the hood of the car, and a missing fog light. he calculated the damage to be about $6700. luckily, we do have insurance with a $500 deductible. so most of the cost will be covered. But i have been and will spend the rest of this week being chewed out and reprimanded by my parents.
there is no real point to this thread. just wanted to write that down to make myself feel a little better after the shittiest day so far this year. and it is far from over.
