Cost the insurance company as much as the truck was worth but that's their fault for believing the crazy lowball quote they got from the people they had look at it. Even the tow truck driver looking at it in the pitch dark in a blizzard said it had to be at least 14k in damage.



It wasn't black ice man. I've never seen conditions quite like the road surface was that night in my life. If I had to try and describe it it seemed like a greasy coating of sludge and little ball bearing sized ice *****, very strange stuff. Course it was nasty freaking weather. I didn't move the steering wheel or change pressure on the throttle or brake, the back end just started going and there was no saving it. Went from fairly good traction to none whatsoever and the next thing I knew I the truck was cratered into a 3-4 foot tall snowbank facing the opposite direction and I was sitting behind the wheel with everything but the snowbank looking normal. Very freaky, almost seemed like a dream till I looked behind me and suddenly remembered being upside down a few seconds ago.

Based on many experiences though I can safely say the Wrangler SR-A tires that came on the truck were pure and utter garbage, I don't know if better tires could have saved me but I have to wonder. I still think Bolt is nuts for running those things.
