great advice everyone..thanks a lot!

This definitely is a reminder that it can happen to anyone. It's definitely not one of those things you expect to happen and it happens REAL fast so enjoy yourself and be careful.

Very true it's a great thing I was the only one who suffered from this act. I don't know what I would be feeling if any other people or cars were involved. I'm glad I was alone.

I don't think stability control would have helped...don't know...but pretty sure not.

I'm sure I'll own another sports car someday. It's just not on my mind now...especially since it will be snowing here any day. In 6 months when it's warm, green, and sunny again a sunroof won't cut it I'm sure!

I'm sorry to hear about your crash, and I'm very pleased that you received only minor injuries.

It really bothers me to view your pictures to see a duplicate of my car in such a state! I must look away now.

Although you should've know better not to push the car especially with SO2s on in cold weather but as many have said, you have learned your lesson.

It could've been worse.

What I don't understand is why people have to FVCK the hell up before learning.

Yeah, it's probably a bad thing to hurl racial slurs at a Hmong rifleman when he's standing in front of you with a loaded weapon... but those Minnesota hunters won't get a second chance.

To all you newbies:
1. DON'T PUSH THE CAR ON WINTER TIRES WHEN IT GETS LESS THAN 50 DEGREES.

2. YOU MAY THINK YOU'RE A GOOD DRIVER, BUT DRIVE LIKE YOU'RE NOT IF YOU WANT TO AVOID TOTALING YOUR CAR IN THE COLD AND WET.

3. DEPENDING ON YOUR INSURANCE, YOU MAY LOSE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN THE WRECK INCLUDING INSURANCE PREMIUMS GOING UP, DEVALUATION OF CAR, TAXES LOST...

1. Don't give specific advice if you weren't there. Thanks
2. Good day!
3. Be happy you're alive!

thank you...this is actually my second bad wreck so I've been through it twice now. My first wreck was in 1999 in a 325i in 6 inches of snow. Driving is pretty dangerous no matter what the conditions. There are so many things that can happen.
