Black ice... Car went off the road and crashed into a fence. We're all unhurt, but the car...

Oh no! I am glad that you were not hurt. But I would bail out of the car, crying over my CAR!

Thanks everyone. I want to cry, looking at that damage. She's a hot mess :( It's my friend's car and he's insured, but I have a bad feeling it's going to cost too much for them to fix her and they'll want to total her. The headlight alone is very expensive.

The most important thing is we're all o.k. and unhurt. It could've been worse.

I seem to have hurt my previously injured arm a little bit in the accident yesterday as it was stiff and unhappy this morning, but apart from that we're all good.. Just heartbroken over the car. We're going to look at options for getting her fixed somehow, if possible… Or just write her off. We don't really want to think about it at the moment.

Oh no on the arm...:( Accidents are seriously a life disruption. They suck in every way - but still so glad that the damage to humans was minimal!
