Look, I don't see why you're indignant about me pointing out that if it were an essay it would have paragraphs. I'm not saying that you need to spend a ton of time writing these things to make them gramatically perfect; it's the internet, writing like you talk is ok most of the time, right?
For some reason it displayed in my window as this massively wide block of text, which I would have liked to read, but was prohibitively inaccessible. It'd help to just push enter every once in a while, just to give us readers a chance to read what you have to say. After all, you do want us to read it and respond, right? why else would you post it with pictures on a public forum?

glad you and your passenger are ok
with all the wrecked s2k's it's no wonder
the insurance number went from a 19 to a 24
for this car since i purchased. that makes it higher than the number
insurers use for a corvette

. The reason it is appears like a big wide block is due to the pictures, not the writing. I would have to cut the thing in half for you to read the whole deal without having to scroll over.

sorry that happened. glad you and your passenger are ok. it was a tough lesson to learn... and I'm not trying to be a "20/20 hindsight" kind of a-hole, but...
the moral of the story: Do not drive your S aggressively in sub-freezing weather (or even when it's been sub-freezing the night before, as there may still be patches in the shade). Unless there is snow and thus you have Blizzaks or other winter tires, take it easy in the winter. If those are S-02s or even S-03s, the rubber compound is probably also very hard and non-grippy as their normal operating range is in the other 3 seasons.
Once again, no disrespect to you... you've already learned from a tough lesson... it's just a polite reminder to other S owners... this is not a winter car UNLESS you have dedicated winter tires. or you live in somewhere where it doesn't get anywhere near freezing in the winter. (but who woulda thought... Georgia?! freezing? that's not normal. )

Stop quoting the pictures. No need to see the pics twice in the same thread.
