Well the Canadian Winter conquered me and my little ol'car. Whilest I was returning to University to wriute my last two exmas of the year, I caught some ice or slush and lost control.

I was travelling at 100-110Km/h North on Regional HWy 11 here in Ontario. My tail started to swing out, I could not regain control, next thing I know I am upside down sliding backwards through snow.

There I was hanging upside down in the good solid steel frame contructed Buick. Still in my seat, by the seat belt the sterring wheel and me still holding the wheel. When I unbuckled, I felt like Will Smith in Men In Black as i landed.

I got out of the car by myself, and walked up the ditch to the people above. I had no visible signs of injury. I talk with the people that stopped to say I am alright, there was no one else there. One of the people was an Emerg. Room Doctor. He stayed until the police arrived. Abulance checked me out said i was in better shape than most people after something like that.

After having it towed, and file the paper work i waited and a rural OPP (Ontario Provincial Police) station just of the highway for the rents to pick me up and take me the rest of the way to University.

I am fine, though I was warned that I may feel extremely sore depressed and weka for the next week after a trauma like that. I may even get out of one of my exams.

But apparently I was too relaxed while it happened so i havent strained any muscles, and I am I guess better for it.

I will see about sketchign a small picture of what happened so show.

Here are some pics of the wreck before it went to the dump.

Our friend is on top of the roof there, he was shutting the passenger side doors after we gutted what I needed out of the car. before he drove it to the dump. This pic is reversed.. stupid scanner. anyways, flip it horizontal and the other pictures make sense.

Here you can see the damage to the roof. All side windows are intact. They were just rolled down. also the paint scrapes and the blown in rear window.

A shot from the front half. Can see driver side mirror dangling, and the board will show you just how much the roof crunch was. Also gives a small shot of the trunk.

This jsut shows the bangs int eh roof and the trunk. There was no rust onthe car until after the accident, and the paint removal.

You can see in the bumper here where i hit the tree. Apparently i hit the tree with quite a bit of force, but while i was in it, it was a soft stop.

I willl post some of the others when i get some more time.
