Default $4504=cost of spin out

I just wanted to post the total for my wreck I had a couple weeks ago. Everything looks like it is going to cost around $4500 so I had to turn it into my insurance (probably will drop me now). I also have gone back to the site where it happened numerous times and gotten out to look at the road and still have no idea how my tires broke lose and I lost control..I've decided to keep my car but I will never be driving it unless it's 50'+ from now on. I guess one positive thing that came out of this is I am going to convert to the 04 front bumper and finally get some tires and mount up my new rims.

So you drove on SO2 tires which are summer dry payment only tires on winter/spring weather. If the roads were wet then that just adds salt to the wound.

Never Never EVER Never drive SO2 in the wet or below 40degree weather.

You are nuts if you do.

My s2000 does better than FWD cars with regular tires. I have Blizzak LM22s.

I drive my car in sub 40* weather all the time during those nice winter days, and have never had a problem. Just don't drive like an idiot.

I only have S02's, on occassion it actually rains in So.California, MY01 is my only car. We all know the car does not handle the wet, just drive carefully.
