To other day I was getting out of the body shop 3 weeks after being hit in a parking lot (hit and run). The rear bumper had been damaged but they repaired it and it looked like a new one. Anyways, the only way out of the shop was a nasty little street full of snow covered ice. Since I was on my 225 Bfg kdw's, I knew I had to be extra carefull. Well, I had quite a surprise when I noticed that I had absolutely zero traction and couldn't stop going at about 5 km/h. I slid for like 15 meters and hit a car going across the intersection when I had almost stopped. My SVT has a small scratch on the front bumper but I did a very big and long dent to the side of the Toyota Matrix I hit. What sucks is that I was going home to install my winter tires that I couldn't install before because my car was in the damn body shop . And it started snowing the day before I got my car back. Oh well, it's always nice to have a big bump in insurances premiums before christmas...

And btw, never ever drive kdw's in the snow...
