Well, i live in Carrollton Tx ( suburb of dallas ) and today, it was snowing and sleeting like a mother f@&%er. Going down a hill ( that had a slight turn angle) i lost control of my vehicle. I started weaving like crazy, and i literally "drifted" in and out of traffic to avoid hitting any other car around me. Luckily i didn't, but i did at the end spin out in front of traffic , hop a curb and then my rear bumper smashed into the side of a bridge wall.

FORTUNETLY, no one was hurt.

My xa suffered minor damage, hub caps ____ed, n the black rim under the hubcaps got all scratched >.<

as for the part that smashed into the wall. No dents, just a "paint" mark where the wall n my bumper met. Maybe i can get that off, no clue yet, it was about 6:45AM when it happend so i couldn't see much.

i'll post up pics later


*** MOD EDIT: Watch the Language please***

 

it snows like that a lot up in these parts, though not this year. the xb has been a trooper though.

 

yea...we havent seen any snow yet, i even took the winter steelies off so i could keep doing photo shoots lol. sorry about your car, but happy your cool and evryone else around you is cool. way to drive like paul walker.

 

yeah, I live in the DFW area too, woke up this morning to find this in my driveway

 

i live in oregon whre we usally get a few good snows a year well were up to 6 now and the one yester day is aobut 3 inches with a half an ince of ice under it. but my xa with cables all around is doing great. i was doing some driftin in a parking lot *it was on purpose* and man she is a boat load of fun quite well balanced!

 

Sanchez, you found a car???????


No snow here yet, but my yearly desire to move to a tropical island has returned....

 

I drifted my xA around a 300zx in the mall parking lot the other morning, nice, slow e-brake drift, laughing the whole time, watching too much F&F Tokyo Drift, lol.

 

You're lucky no one got hurt.

 

 

...and here I am in New Hampshire, with new snow tires, still waiting for more than just a dusting, wanting to try out some snow driving...... Maybe I should move to Texas....

 

i'm ok with the light winter.

 

Me too!

 

it's too hot in florida to get snow.... the xa looks slick under all that white!

 

it doesnt snow in florida :D thank god

 

Sorry but that's where I would pull out the "D" and not bother shoveling out. I can plow through aything in mine but the xA hasn't been bad in the little ice we've had on the streets but I personally can't wait for some heavy stuff to take my truck through with my new tires. It handled like a champ last year and I had bald highway tires on it.

 

I am unfortunately not as fortunate as you to have a suv in my household. The highest clearance vehicle is my xA with stock springs on lol.

 

My wife hit a wall when she meant to go in reverse when she was first learning stick. She called and was freaking out.

When I looked at it, the wall took more damage than my car, lol. Only a couple dot scratches.

xA is the next bullet proof car!

 

Mine isn't so bulletproof. I had some punk kid kick in the rear drivers side door when I lived out in NY... But I am pretty lucky and happy with the D I just haven't been driving it a lot lately because of gas prices.

 

That is why I want to install a 50,000 volt shock on my car to anyone who touches it. im just working out the legalities now... lol

 

Yeah it was a pretty nasty dent I had to remove the door panel and snake my arm through the inside of the dorr to push it out to make it look a little better it was about the size of a basketball. now its the size of a baseball in 2 spots and if you look carefully you can see where they were leaning on the drivers side door around the handle. All because they were leaning on my truck and were told to get off and decided to lean on my car and were told again.

I would like to get it fixed but I have a $500 deductible that I don't feel like coughing up right now and couldn't afford if I did...

Oh and hopefully I'll be adding 2" to my clearance on the "D" soon here with a torsion bar lift up front and shackles in the rear. It'll cost me about $50 and two hours of sweat. Then a Flowmaster super 40 for hopefully 20 more horsies.
