boka,

Thanks for sharing your experiences and your photo's. Glad your ok and your car's very fixable. As they say, it's where the rubber meets the road that counts; I recently put Blizzaks on my Max and the difference was quite an eye opener. But, even with those - nothing compares to common sense. Thursday I was returning from a meeting in northern Michigan and a snow squall started. I could feel the road was twichy in spots, slowed down, and let the young brave studs cruise by. About ten miles down the road I came upon a car with all four tires pointing to the sunset. The police were already there. I didn't change my cruise control speed and I still managed to pass most of the cars that previously past me. I quess some people have to see it to believe it. Seeing your photo's may make believers out of some others. Thanks.

Sorry to hear about the accident. Don't know if anyone asked this, but were all the spring spacers removed during the dealer prep of your S2000?! Sound like weather shouldn't have made you that tail happy and you stated that your Audi (rear-wheel drive I am assuming) could probably have handled that turn at 40 mph. Just a thought--thanks

Sorry to hear about the mishap, Boka, but as others have noted it's good that it is the car and not you. Where did you end up taking it for repair?

By the way, I'm also from Greenfield. I have mine in storage anxiously awaiting spring.

Ref: an earlier post, the restaurant where you can ride the chili pepper is La Perla at 5th and National...just had dinner there last night (but no pepper ride).
