Snow + Driving Downhill = Accident
Well, my day was certainly eventful. We got up to my Granfathers' house for a belated Thanksgiving dinner (was canceled yesterday due to bad weather). We stuffed ourselves and opened birthday presents. I got misc. DVD's and CD's. Then we started for home. Dad drove half of the way home, up until Mount Morris. Then it was my turn to drive. I was doing real well until just after the BIG hill after Shortrack. I was going too fast downhill,and I tried to stop. Well, it didn't work out that way. I ended up skidding off the road, over a ditch, onto a field and back into said ditch, about 8 feet from a telephone pole. Everyone was fine. Well, except the car and the turkey. It was a deep, deep ditch. The car was at about a 45 degree angle, which made for an uncomfortable hour and a half. Thankfully we have AAA, so we called them and got a tow truck to come to us. I did realize that country folk are really nice. We had about 20 people stop and see if we were ok. A couple said that there had been another accident just up the road 2 hours before us. We finally got pulled out, not without me thinking that we were going to fall over on our side. The front of the car is not looking too hot right now. The car is still running and working fine. My first ever accident was like Paris Hilton, big and flashy, but with little substance. WE'll see what the car looks like tomorrow in the daylight.
