Default i know how you feel. i am almost glad i do not have my car back yet.....

nope scratch that, i would still give my left nut to have it, regardless of weather. you are at rpi right? good luck with the repairs....drive slower next time!!! you will learn your lesson after mising your car for a couple weeks.....and if not, imagine 6 months without it.

A hell of a lot more than a good set of snow tires would have been, sounds like you should have left them on just a little longer (I assume you have some) Sorry to hear that.
