Black Ice = Dooj Kabilur for me.. -_- Pics to come later (of the Kabilur, dunno if I can get pics of the Exploder).

Gist of the story: Was driving East down I-94 inside Portage Michigan, on my way to NAIAS of all places. Crossed a bridge, truck felt some ice, then got a little hungry.

First thing it saw was a guard rail covered in snow. I told it "Down boy..you don't eat that stuff" but nope. Didn't listen. So it just barreled into the rail, and cost me every piece of plastic on the front end of that truck.

Total damage costs for OEM parts: $2007.00

For once, I love insurance..

Oh, and did I forget to mention that the tow-hooks were so ingeniously bolted to the frame in a manner that any slight collision like this would BEND THE FRAME TIPS! Damn Ford..you trying to make some extra cash off this? Collision guy at the dealership agreed. But this is why I pay premiums..
