Hi Frank,

Been there and done that.  Daughter slid into a guard rail last Summer and
it wasn't even snowing.  Put a lovely crease down the entire side of my
truck.  She told me it doesn't handle like a Sprite, duh.  Can you imagine
what she would be like in the snow?  $3 grand later it was fixed, good thing
it was covered.
