Crashed the D lost control in the snow, the snow and the mailboxes won the fight!

My xD came with summer tires... not even "all-season" rated. Gotta love 'em.

The damage doesn't really look that bad. Just curious... does your xD have VSC?

Not bad, I was unable to drive it away. I needed a crowbar to rip the bumper off, tow truck driver did not have one. I could not turn the wheel after the accident due to the wheel well and bumper pressing against the tire.
NO VSC, did not learn VSC was an option on a scion until it was already delivered to me, police told me it would not matter if I had 4 wheel drive, I was the second person to crash in the same spot, w/in the hour, it was icy. ABS never kicked in, Thank god for police reports.

Yeah, it came with Bridgestone Turanza EL400's. Some list them as all-season, but some list them as summer tires. They perform more like summer tires.

duly noted that the all seasons are SH*T

HONESTLY.

From the pics I honestly don't think there would be suspension but who knows, the impact could have stunted something. Why are you so against the car if there's damaged? properly repaired and aligned and itll be fine.

In the end no suspension damage. It is $1,275 to fix the fender, wheelwell, bumper, and headlamp. It should be back on the road w/in the next 2 weeks-nice. I am not against the car but a few people I spoke to advised me to get rid of it if there was damage to the suspension. They believed that it would never drive the same again. I am happy that I do not have to worry about it.
