If you don't report the accident to your insurance, you should be fine.

Better yet, carry a fuckin' shovel to dig your shit out of the snowbank next time. That looks about 5 minutes worth of work to me.

That's 2" of snow on 2' of ice. Rear wheel is off the ground, weight is on the rocker. Sounds unsafe.

What a miserable little shitbox of a car.

I don't chase status symbols. Way more fun than a truck. Also was free and incredibly cheap to run.

Or just get a dashcam as a dashcam.

I'd been thinking this for the last month. Any suggestions?

 

[Hoff Kinkmeister]

Of course. But almost everyone has an old phone laying around.

I run my phones into the dirt usually. My old phone is my internet device.

 

[Mr. Argumentor]

Of course. But almost everyone has an old phone laying around.

True, but usually because they are too fucked to sell

 

[Mr. Argumentor]

That's 2" of snow on 3' of ice. Rear wheel is off the ground, weight is on the rocker. Sounds unsafe.

The one I got a year or two back is likely surpassed by others by now. I'd just hit up a couple "best dashcam of 2022" pages by various tech companies.

I would recommend something that gets a view front and rear though.

Everything is unsafe to one extent or another. How unsafe is it to your finances if your insurance goes up?

Big insurance wants you to have an accident.
They also really want to put a monitoring device in your car and convince you it's beneficial to you and "could save" you money.

Protip, if you only have a flip phone and a car from pre-OBD-II times, they can't monitor you.

 

[Jehannum]

Base for base, sure. Quite a few foci I'd drive over that, though

I can think of two - the ST and the RS, but other than that, a Focus is just a Yaris without the build quality going for it.

 

[Hoff Kinkmeister]

Oh this is the basest of bases possible in these times. Power windows and locks (key only), base entertainment system has Bluetooth, a surprising number of airbags, and mandated safety systems but otherwise a '90s shitbox. Doesn't even have a backup camera.

I get to be a pissy dick because I drive perfect. If you fuck up and threaten my safety I'll let you know, DGAF how big of a loan you took out for your car you're not competent enough to handle.

Don't worry, Hoggz. I drive a puddle jumper too.

You are wiser and less susceptible to social stupidity than most.

You didn't drive perfect, you ended up in a snow bank.

Of course you do

That ain't a base model. This is a base model.

It was snowbank or truck, I fixed his fuck-up and made the safest choice.

 

[Strings]

I like the Bass Model-T

I thought you "DGAF how big of a loan you took out for your car you're not competent enough to handle". You shoulda taught that guy a lesson!

I still maintain that if you were actually perfect, your choices wouldn't have been truck or snowbank.

I did go off on him. He was talking "the important thing is everyone is safe" I told him that was only thanks to me as I fixed his fuck-up.

I really wish I had a dashcam l, his nose was at the double yellow when I veered. He was pulling out in a hurry, unaware that I was there at all. I was at ~30mph with a 35mph limit.

You waited too long to react to what was obviously going to happen.

That one's on you.

It's one of those "I'd rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6" moments.

Small light color car against a snow covered background. Truck driver in a hurry, moving before actually looking. Maybe even perfect couldn't avoid an accident.
