Going to my parents this morning for Christmas and I hit a patch of black ice. I was doin about 35 in 6th gear with the engine lugged down. The back end slid out from underneath me and I started goin sideways down the highway, heading for the ditch. I was lucky enough and got it corrected enough to take it straight into the ditch and not sideways into the ditch and to risk it rolling the truck. It was scary but my wife and daughter are safe.

 

Glad Y'all ok. Yesterday we got snow and ice here in tx, and i was driving slowly across a bridge when the person behind got pissed that I was going slow and sped up in the next lane, and lost control on the ice right behind me. I had to speed up just so they didnt hit the back of me. I hate ice, and lucky we dont have it that often.

 

Didn't you just crash into your house yesterday? If I were you I wouldn't drive tomorrow. Bad things happen in 3's.

 

Glad to hear everyone is ok, but yeah you are on a bad streak. Let the wife drive for awhile!!!

 

Let the wife drive? You know he's not gonna let that happen. Everyone's OK but did the truck get hurt?

 

Yep, hit the house yesterday. Its been a rough couple days on the Dodge. Whats bad is tomorrow Im supposed to go to the city to pick up a bedliner, scored a deal on a factory bedliner for 25 bucks.
Let the wife drive, funny. Nah, but really she won't drive in inclement weather.
As far as the truck The quarter panel in front of the back right wheel is pushed in maybe a 1/2in. I had to look at it with the other side several times to tell. It was full of snow on the back side so I'll take care of it in the morning.

 

Here is what it looked like after the truck was out. The tracks on the left are where I went sliding in. The engine bay was packed full of snow.

 

holy hell man. im glad i made everyone come to my house for christmas

 

looks like a crzy ride, good to kno that everyone is ok. that ice can really get pretty crazy

 

35, man you were driving like a bat out of hell!!

Glad everyone is ok!!
