Sightseeing on my way to work.
I didnt start taking pictures until I turned around to go home. There was a pile up at the bottom of the hill about a mile from my house. Thats when I decided to go home. I slowed down to take a picture and I slid off the road! Some jacka$$ took my picture too!

No damage, I hope. Looks like you guys had a patch (or two) of black ice. Nasty stuff, not really much you can do unless you've got the right tires.
could have been worse.

You would figure that the aero kit on that civic would have helped maintain control in those road conditions.

What an insurance nightmare - imagine if your car is parked on the side of the road there - 5 other cars hit you!!!

I'm sure the civic driver was to blame. Damn kids.

That video is crazy. Hey, look at the big hill covered in snow with all the wrecked cars on it. I bet I can make it!
