Well, after seeing the first picture all I can think to say is something my dad used to say, "You can't park that piece of ***** right there!" Sorry man, maybe it's time to get into a different truck, seems that one's got some bad mojo.

Man, so sorry to hear about this. I've always admired how your truck looks every time I see your sig picture. Makes me sorry I didn't buy a white one every time. Glad you're OK, though.

It wasn't a speed issue, and snow is no problem. Road went from dry to icy in a spot where a rock bluff shades the roadway. Normally ice isn't a problem for me, but it was rutted really terribly. The other lane was pretty clear and when I went to change lanes the ruts held the rear tires and it just went sideways. Made the whole 6 hour trip on solid ice with the same tires last year and never had a problem, but it didn't have the ruts like this time. DOT hadn't bladed the road yet that day so by the time I got to it at 1pm the combo of MgCl they use do de-ice, wind blowing snow, and 20F temps made bad drifts that accentuated the ruts. What pisses me off is they bladed that stretch 3 times, put down gravel and more MgCl all while I was waiting for a tow truck. Should have done it a little earlier than 1pm.
Glad you're alright.

Glad to know that you're okay. This just goes to show that you're better of in a Super Duty than a car.
Was a damn nice looking truck though, to say the least.
I could use some small parts for my 01' CC by the way.
