First star. — Toyota Carina, 2.0 liter, 1995

I passed the winter as it skated without problems at nine. True brother knocked her headlight bumper and front fender.

This winter started with sadness. Passing through the yard downhill from a perpendicular passage into this very hill, a gazelle flew out with a running start, which was not visible because of the cars parked on the side of the road. gazelle in the brake, I'm in the brake, but there's no point, both roll at each other. I decided to leave the gazelle, but I couldn't. Slippery road and a little experience as a driver, did their job. 4-5 centimeters were not enough ... No, I didn’t hit the gazelle, but the owner of the Prado parked opposite the perpendicular passage was in for a surprise. I hit him in the corner of the bumper, the blow was generally tangential, and the wheels at the time of the impact were already turned into a turn towards the middle of the road (apparently due to ice under fresh snow, the car went straight, it could have done)

The once repaired Prado bumper crumbled with a handful of putty and pieces of plastic onto pure white snow ...

For myself, I scratched the bumper to the plastic, scratched the fender and turn signal a little, didn’t break anything =)
Probably the inverted wheels at the time of impact helped the car quickly change direction.

And the gazelle left. Yes =)

I hope this winter everything will be as always, the first and last minor accidents this season.

And my left wing always suffers, can I order a replacement from titanium? =)

UPD: The winter was successful, the spring began with constant emergencies, the people all went crazy.
