**** snow!!

This happened earlier tonight in franklin on Arno Rd. definatley wont be rollin up in an 8 tomorrow night if i go at all.
I was creeping up a hill right when it started snowing and wheels started spinning so i coasted to the bottom of the hill and while i was turning around here comes a 97 bonnaville skiiding at about 30 cant stop and plows into me and continues into a ditch after taking out a mailbox. not a good night at all

(damaged items from what i can see and feel)
1 OEM fender
1 OEM front bumper with mazdaspeed ground effects
1 clear cornering light
1 OEM headlight
tire rods were destroyed somehow so i had absolutley no steering which made hitching up to the tow truck difficult
possibly other driver side suspension components

needless to say i am less than happy about this happening so here are the pics of my baby on the tow truck before leaving
