Smashed the Max!

Smashed the Max!
I spun out on I-95 Sunday morning doing about 35mph. Happened in Norwalk,CT. Was on the on-ramp trying to get to the middle lane which had been plowed, the extreme right lane had a lot of snow on it. Car spun around as I was changing lanes, hit the concrete median twice and ended up facing the oncoming traffic luckily no one was coming so i was able to crawl the car to the other side of the interstate.
I think my suspension is gone, maybe my axle as well. Side passenger airbags deployed. Whole passenger side of the Max is ****ed! Dropped the car of this morning. They think it will be 2-3 weeks at least!!
I officially hate snow now!!!!

it's hard to get the Max to slip because its a heavy car..but when it slips..damn it's hard to control it...but i was quite impressed at the way it plows through the snow...you know how the plow machines leave a wall of snow right at the end of you driveway....my accord keeps getting stuck in it..but my max plowed right through it!!!!

Ouch. Sorry to hear. I flew off the road last weekend and ended up spinning across oncoming traffic and into a ditch. The whole time my girlfriend was screaming lines that would make a sailor proud. I mean, I'd never heard some of these words before. Why so upset? Fear for her life? Nah, I was driving her car and she thought I was "showing off". Thankfully we missed 2 mailboxes, a couple trees, a shrub, and an oncoming explorer as I gracefully parked her car in a muddy ditch. Amazingly, no damage!
Still, it was a great day to leave Max in the garage.

I was in Albany over the weekend. Drove 190 miles from NYC. There was some snow up there, about 1/2" - 1" left on the ground from the previous storm. The Nokian WR tires are just incredible in the snow and on polished ice.
I was able to pull up a steep hill with a mix of snow and ice about a 60° gradient with no problems. I went slow and the tires dug in.
Tires make the biggest difference.

I would say just get another car why because you alot of problem later like on,like ticking noise,or some other noise, rust. and the will frame will never be the same ie strength, stiffnes, or aligment will be off.
