Re: Black Ice.

I had the same experience with the wife I once had (No, that's not why we split). Just up the road from here is a tight about 90* curve and she went straight due to ice through a section of ornamental fence (not real strong). This was in the pretty (yeah, she was too) '90 Blazer I got her and put fiberglass flares painted to match on and I instantly envisioned those all cracked up. So I made the mistake of asking how bad the Blazer was. In my own defense I will say it's a 30mph road, slow sharp turn in any conditions, and I knew she'd be driving even slower, and not be hurt. But it still, shall we say, "offended" her just a little (which in her case compared to others is a lot!)

The good part is I saw no damage to the Blazer at all. I don't recall if she got hurt or scared, though
