so lately i think my TJ has been trying to kill me. so last week i had blown a brake line while driving home and had drove about 20 mins with no brakes. last night around 11 i was on my way home from Buffalo and wind was real bad with the snow. I was about 10 mins from home in the country and was going up a steep hill that’s in a open field and is usually super shitty because of the blow by with the wind but it wasn’t at all oddly. i finally get to the top of the hill doing about 35 and hit a patch of black ice while a huge gust of wind blows by and i lose all traction. thankfully nobody was near me but i had slid for about 30 feet and was about to hit a telephone pole but i had countersteered just enough to barely miss it by about 5 inches. the ditch was full of snow so it looked like level ground it was about 2 and a half feet deep. i slammed into the ditch and landed safely. i tossed it in 4L and started to reverse and got to the point where i had knocked my driver side mirror off but managed to get my front two tires on the pavement but i was just spinning. thankfully a nice guy in a new tacoma pulled me out on the slippery road. i’m okay along with my passenger. the TJ is perfectly fine just broke and shattered my mirror.
