It's going to be a long cold night, I can't get the wood stove going again and I don't want to go into the shed to get more kindling at this time of night.

There is more damage to the car than I thought. The whole right side is scratched and there is a dent in the rear fender. Damn it.

In other news my mom's response to me getting in a car accident is still to throw snow tires at me. I'm waiting for her to call back and then I'll see if she'll just pay my deductible instead. I don't think snow tires would have helped me a whole lot in the with this one as I wasn't the only car having problems with the hill/corner combo, I was just the only one who managed to get in the wrong spot coming down it.

So Mom is going to buy me snow tires, pay my insurance deductible and my registration fee. This will be my christmas present from her. She wanted to pay down my student loan more, but this is more of a concern than a bill that's paid up until 2011 already.

Also I checked and it was almost exactly 3 years to the day that I went off the road with the beetle and did 2000$ worth of damage to it. That wonderful occasion occurred on Nov. 26th 2005 while driving the back way to my Dad's house in a snow storm. So basically in three years at the end of Nov. if I need to drive somewhere in the snow I should avoid back roads. Because I think it was about 3 years before that that I nearly went off the road with the Beast.

So I went out to close up the hole in the head light with clear tape and discovered there are scuff marks on the wheel cover which means there is a good possibility of damage to the suspension. But in good news the hood still opens, and the passenger side door despite being slightly dented still opens. The Hood prop fits a little tighter than it used to which concerns me. I wasn't going more than 40 when this all happened, I was probably going less than 40 actually, but you know, looking at the speedometer is the last thing one worries about in a crash. 45 would have been top speed because I was staying to the speed limit but I'm pretty sure I was going under at that point because I'd just come up a hill.

Stupid road sign.

Monday I need to get an estimate done on the car, and get it registered and possibly set up an appointment to get snow tires put on.
