I was rushing to get somewhere and swerved out and counter steered to gain control but with the 30% tread tires i have on the back there was no chance. I went flying into the snow bank and just nicked a telephone pole with the front end and ran over a sign sideways with my rear left quarter panel.
The front bottom of the bumper where it hit caved in and a piece of the frame punctured through and theres a large dent on the quarter panel now.
The belt blew from the snow pile up under the hood and I'm having trouble replacing it cuz the tensioner wont loosen up.
There isnt enough damage to make a claim.. I can get the large dent popped out and I am getting a TC2 front in the spring anyway.
It was a sad day today
Pics soon.....

It didnt crease the fender.. so it'll be able to be pulled out then touched up.. I will most likely be getting a Paint job in the summer when I get a kit for it. (which also solves the bumper problem).

just read this post. dang, that sux dude. glad you're alrite and that it won't be any major body work to repair. i know how you feel about having to repair it tho. my venge has been totaled before—someone decided they couldn't wait the 20sec it woulda took for me to pass by before pulling out .

i'm a peripheral visionary. i can see into the future, but way off to the side.
duct tape to the rescue!........ what? what do you mean we used the last roll? The Civic? Did you really use that much tape to hold on the spoiler?? OHHH... you used the rest on the 3 turbos, gotcha. Wait, you do know duct tape is flammable right? HAHAHA so that's why that guy was back here in the shop yelling at you. ok. makes sense now.
