Hit a pole in the snow. Fortunately it was at like two miles an hour and just damaged the drivers side wheel well panel. I'm hoping I won't even have to replace the lower panel on the USP front bumper. Moral of the story is even though you may have aggressive all-season tires, when it's 6 degrees outside in 3" of fresh snow with pack underneath your car probably still won't hold traction. Difference betw. full on winter tires and all-seasons (other than tread shape) is that winters use rubber that stays softer in cold conditions, thus holding traction better.. I'm positive that my all-seasons hardened up like a b*tch because i really had no traction whatsoever at 2mph on snow, going around a corner. Gonna cost me a $250 deductible, WTF.
this money was supposed to go to a SS 
where's a reputable body shop in or outside of Denver? the car is fully driveable, so location doesn't matter much.

After being a good semeritan (sp) and picking a friend up to take her to work I managed to slide into a effin curb at 10mpg trying to turn, AWD + solid ice = broke
