I hit a patch of black ice and spun out...

No injuries aside from my ego. I hit a tree.

Black ice sucks.....my mom and some others were travelling in a big E-series van sometime in the 80s, and would up on black ice going down a hill. They went straight through a corner into someones front yard, and only a tree stopped them from going into the front window of the house. Glad you're alright!

As an old truck driver once told me, “There’s two type of drivers, those that have wrecked on ice and those that are going to wreck on ice”

I know it sucks right now, but nobody got hurt and in a couple of years all of this will just be a story you share when talking with friends.

Same thing happened to me last winter....sunny morning, road looked dry everywhere....was rounding a not-terribly sharp right corner at 50kph, then back end just stepped out out of nowhere, I corrected left, but then the front wheels came off the ice onto pavement and bit hard, car then 180’d left and I backed into a guardrail....$1350 in body work later and it’s PRETTY MUCH back to normal, but you can tell the rear bumper cover doesn’t line up 100% anymore...

Moral of the story is be careful out there people!

I go to a school of 2000, and there are more than 40 students named Jacob/Jake. I know approximately a bajillion and two people with that name.

Glad to hear you’re ok. As others said you will probably just need a door. Here is a pink Fiat to cheer you up!

Crazy, I don’t know a single person with that name.
