I was going like 20 mph and turned my head....when I looked to the front again...there was a truck sitting in the middle of the road stopped. It really did a lot of damage for a 20 mph collision. If I had been in any other car it probably wouldn't have had much damage. But...now I get a Carbon Fiber hood.

a couple weeks ago, the day before i got my civic, it was snowing here, and my 88 dodge omni went off the road because the tires were bald (and they were the cheapest tires available to start with). i took out some signs at 25-30mph, and stopped when i hit a tree (dont think i was going more than 15 at that point, maybe as low as 5), but there was very little damage for what happened.. and to fix it, it only cost $35 in junkyard parts. i was really glad it wasnt my civic, it probably would have been $1000-2000 in damage instead of $35.. though it wouldnt have happened at all in my civic since theres tread on the tires
they werent quite bald enough to fail inspection, but they were pretty close, and mix that with how cheap they were to start with and youve got some dangerous tires even in wet weather, and no traction at all in the snow
