So last night was the worst night of my life, and it starts with freakin' snow everywhere. I was coming up to a right turn lane to drop a friend off and pretty much once I got in the lane I tried to slow down. My ABS completely failed and I slid more than 50 feet at about 25 mph. Only thing I thought in my head was, "****..." and grasped the steering wheel as hard as I could.
I hit the snow bank with the front driverside wheel first, then my other wheel until the front of my car was a foot off the ground. After that, I had landed on another snow bank at more than a 45 degree angle and slid off the snow bank.
I got out, looked at the front of my car. I saw shards of black plastic everywhere, so I thought the worst when I looked at it, and to my amazement, there wasn't that much damage. My Front driverside wheel well pretty much shattered once I hit the snowbank, and my fog light assembly got affected by it.
But other than that, I was extremely lucky. I could've easily totaled my car and instead, I broke a wheel well.
