on the way home, just about 3 miles from home, hit a patch of ice on an off ramp. did a little spin, then up onto the curb. no damage to me, but a couple of bent rims on the car. getting it checked out to make sure nothing else got bent.
 
Bent tin is way better than busted bodies!...

My thoughts exactly.

I spun out in my Jeep once and bent the right rear axle so the wheel wobbled when I went down the road. I had to drive it that way for a week or so before I could get it fixed, and everywhere I went, people tried to flag me down to tell me my rear wheel was about to fall off. Then I would have to try to explain that I already knew about it, and it's not loose, it's bent. It's funny seeing the sign language two people go through when having that discussion in separate vehicles at 45 MPH. :p
 
i'm using the rental car part of the ins, driving an hhr until the car is fixed. will post a pic of it tomorrow. took a good, long nap after getting home from lunch, woke up around 9-ish. not how i planned my day... lol
