Default I wrecked my wifes car...

On my way to work I was trying to make a left turn at the intersection but the car went straight. Straight into the curb...ouch. Needless to say I am sleeping with the dogs tonight!

Ouch! That hurts man! Since I've started crawling I've spent a lot of quality evenings with the dogs.... you'll get used to it....:-(

Hey, are those Dunlops? I (my wife....) had a Mustang the same color and I put a set of those on it. Nice tire!

You know... There's a reason there are winter tires available (at least in Europe).

Yep, but the lower arm mount is prolly bent too considering it broke stuff. At least there's no body damage.

As bad as that is it could of been worse no one hurt just some pride.
Sounds like you have a good dog to keep your butt at night and at least your staying on the couch and not on the porch! Brrrrrr
