Glad you're ok. Guessing the car is paid off since you didn't have comprehensive? I HATE driving in abnormal conditions. Rain is fine, but snow/ice...hell no, I'm staying home.

GL with whatever you plan to do!

That's messed up. Sorry, Why would you not carry insurance? What did you save $100 for 6 months? That's gonna be so expensive to fix.

good thing you are okay. I driven my is350 in light snow/water on the mountain before with summer tires and less then 50 degree temp. The cars great traction control saved my *** a few times when I should have been in your situation. That is a lot of snow. Im surprised you didn't use chains and managed to get up to 30mph
