Usually I love to hear this from clients, but today it's just me. Ben was heading to the airport Sunday afternoon for a business trip to San Francisco, in the middle of a snow storm. Well, the important thing is that he walked away without a scratch, and no one else was involved in the accident. But, the car is not so great. There appears to be significant "internal bleeding" although the damage to the outside seems minimal. The steering column is most likely broken as well as the rear passenger side axle. The insurance will probably call it totaled, which might be for the best.
I wish I had been able to get a better shot since the rear is where most of the damage is, but there were so many cars in the tow yard (it was a bad storm!!) that I couldn't get to the back of the car.
So here is my sweet VW Golf. The first car I bought after getting my first salaried job after college. *sigh*

Yikes, I'm glad Ben was ok!! It's the worst giving up your very first bought-yourself car. It was a sad day for me when mine went the way of all the earth. Alas. Is the weather getting any better now? I was sure freaked out for all my Utah and Idaho family and friends the past few weeks!
Yes, thankfully the weather seems to be calming down *a bit* but it has still snowed almost every day this week. Well, flurries at least. But we finally picked out new car! If I have any time with two sick boys I will post some pictures.
Cheers!
