Been there. Best in it is that these arranges priorities... Once was on my back on the icy highway, under my burning RV 9tonner, wondering what's life about, trying to get it saved as plastic melt propped on mi hands...

Come back, theres new Grace day coming as you can still write!

I was just there in NJ. By Fairlawn.. With my Max. Very slippery, and very dangerous.
Very sorry to hear what happened man. Don't worry it's gonna be okay. It can be fixed. Not the end of the world. You just have to take it very easy in these kinda weathers. If you drive slow(35-45mph) in the middle lane, your pretty much invinsible to the ground's effects. Unless somebody else hits you, then thats a different story.
It's okay man, things could be alot worse. My friend once crashed my Max pretty good.. Busted the whole front, up until the engine.. Hood, bumper, fenders, rammed the radiator up against the engine.. Not a pretty site. Fixed it, and kept goin. Got into 4 more pretty bad accidents after that. Still driven the same car. :--)

thanks for the kind words... i had my new suspension on for 4 miles before this happened, it was driving better than it ever had.
i'm going to try to fix it, i just hope its not too bad. the tow truck messed it up even more dragging it off the curb. will update with pictures.

Seems to be Universal phenomena. After just the same on me, they charged sunday/nighttime four men extras for some four hours on top of that haul... Luckily fire station had taken pictures, and I threatened to sue of the damage they did. So. Never heard of their extortion bill since, its now about anniversary.

All depends how much they broke your vehicle for u to take action, but just do not swallow everything. Typically after wreck people are in 'funeral' mode and pay whatever anybody asks, and they know it, use you. And they even sense if you are first timer, charge accordingly.

Whatever is the case, photograp your vehicle carefully documenting all, especially those that the tow truck made. Just might become useful.
