Just want to say Thank You to everyone~!!

i have to say that my "baby" died after 4 and a half years...i was 2 blocks away from home and slipped on black ice. I spun out and took out a light pole...im ok..but the car got totalled...i just wanted to say thanks to everyone on this forum who has been so helpful to my learning of the G. i had a great experience with this car and still love it...i was not able to salvage anything from it...only my all season floor mats ...how sad..but i was supposed to do my audio(AVIC D3) install that weekend but it didnt happen...so i have that up for sale too..ill be posting those items for sale in the marketplace...check it out...i need to sell these items asap so that i can get another car...its been really difficult commuting to school...anyways...here are some before and afters...thanks again for everyone's knowledge and contribution..

Holy crap... you got pretty damn owned. Slipping on ice is a bitch. Why did you drive a RWD w.o any chains or something in icy weather?

well it rained the day before and the temp just dropped over night..everything just froze...stupid city was supposed to salt the roads..but didnt...also i was driving on an overpass with a portion of it being a metal grid..just slipped..

i drove in boston's ice and snow with those wheels plenty of times before...i know it is stupid with summer tires...i dont know i have no excuse..bad judgement and bad luck on my part...
