is that you don't really care about the dents when you get in an accident. I was coming off the arterial exit about two blocks from work when my car suddenly skidded out of control. I ended up taking out some street sign and getting stuck in an embankment. Nothing got hurt except the street sign and my car. Now there is some piece of my car that has bolts sticking to it hanging down from the undercarriage with only about an inch between it and the road. I'm sort of worried about it, but I'm going to start looking for another vehicle this week anyway.

Between the time of the accident and the time I pulled into our parking lot, it was only about twenty minutes. I had triple A, so it didn't cost anything to get the car towed out of the embankment. A cop made an accident report, but he didn't ticket me. I wonder if I'll see a bill for the sign. If I do, I could send them a bill for the undercarriage and claim it was their improperly salted road that caused the crash.

All in all, pretty minor as crashes go.
