It was raining, surprise surprise. On the way back the rain had little ice chunks in it. "Aw, how cute," I thought! "It's trying to snow!" When I left school that evening, it was snowing, but it was only sticking a little on the grass. By the time I was halfway home, I was driving behind a snowplow and I couldn't see the lines on the road. When I got to that last turn before my house, I took a couple runs at it, and found I couldn't get up the hill. So I parked down on the main road, inches off the guardrail, away from side-streets and turns where people were likely to hit me, and well on the other side of the non-visible white line. Then I walked the short distance home. My mom woke me up this morning with a phone call to tell me she saw some damage on my car, and I should take some pictures and drive it home. I put on a coat and shoes and walked down, and found out the following. 1) It was a hit and run. No note was left. 2) It was undrivable. The tire would get shredded if I tried to drive it. Oh, and there was a four inch gash in the tire already. 3) The car that did it was white. A short while ago, I was making a u-turn, didn't have as much clearance as I thought, and hit the sidewall of my tire on the curb pretty hard, destroying a tire. The tread on my tires was low, so I already had a new set of four tires at home. I put on a spare and drove home. Note: Always put the spare on a tire that doesn't drive the car. I ripped out a front tire, and mine is front wheel drive. I should have switched it with a back tire, and put the spare on the back. I didn't know this, and fortunately nothing bad came of it. So yeah, the tires were rather new. The good news is that insurance looks like it'll cover it. Blog History, Page 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 - 8 - 9 - 10 - 11 - 12 - 13 - 14 - 15
