last night we had about 4 inches of snow, after it rained all day. So when the snow began to fall, all the water froze. about 12:30 I left my fiances house. Was coasting down a hill at 5mph....Tried putting on the brakes, went into a slide, hit a high curb head on, then the car spun and hit again on the side. The curb spun me, the left side is fuked and so is the front. A special Thanks to the _______ that was next to me and kept driving.......

Majority is internal damage...basiclly the car began picking up speed while in a slide cause the hill was sooo steep. I was doing about 25 when I hit the damn thing. On my way to the dealer this moring the steering wheel had to be turned almost a whole turn to the left, just to go straight. Plus passed 50 mph there is some scarey amounts of play in the wheel, and bumps do not help me stay on the road either Anyone have any theories?

The car is sitting at the dealer, I'm waiting to hear what the damage is.

Ouch, bent rims and alignment at least.

Good luck with that.

You either bent the tie rods or you moved the rack & pinion steering rack over some. This repair won't be cheap. I should know, I work at a Nissan dealership and I see it all the time... :nails:
