Looks like a SUV or maybe a pickup truck...(still hurt like hell I bet!!)
Lol...when one says "truck" I think a box truck or larger commercial vechicle....
Good you are OK!!
The $$$ hit on a "new" car as you drive it off the lot is huge....
For most a 2+ year old car makes more sense....cars just seem to drive better when not towing a payment!! Lol

Yes, pickup truck - chevy colorado, 4x4, quad cab. Driver was in 4x4 but back end slid out and pointed her into my lane. She tried to save it, fish tailed a couple of times so I didn't know which way to go. Got to the right as far as I could without risking going over the bank. Roads were slushy but we found out after getting out it was a glaze of ice underneath. When i tried braking there was nothing. I have a brand new set of snow tires that were going on this week!
I have to go to retrieve personal belongings tomorrow. I am hoping to get the JB+ and the cable off if I can.
I am still amazed when I look through the pictures I took. The Mini really did a great job of protecting me.

Good to hear...a few stories pop up EVERY fall of folks who end up in a ditch or worse with summer tires....kinda surprised insurance companies don't deny coverage as using summer tires in cold weather makes an accident an act of neglect or willful conduct of recklessness IMO...
Unfortunately you can steer the other drivers car/truck, no matter how good your ties!!
Important thing is everybody was home in their own beds by the end of the day!!

Hahah, I love this.
Glad you're OK, OP... I've seen a lot of gnarly photos of crashed MINIs on here, and the passengers always seem to escape unscathed. These cars are safer than your average SUV enthusiast would think!
Good luck with whatever you decide to drive next. It's a great time to get a good price on an R56, maybe a JCW

I tried out two wrx's today, a 2014 and a 2015 and a 2015 gti. Didn't like any as well as the mini! My mini was very responsive with the JB+ and helix IC. I was running a larger sway bar and the car rotated really well. I just put in a helix short throw shifter. I was surprised that my wife even liked the shorter throws!
I think I will go try out a new mini this weekend. The .9% financing is a plus. Does anyone know if my 17" Brayton Racing wheels will fit the 2015 mcs?
Also, I retrieved the JB+ and the OBD II cable for hi-jacking the gauges if anyone is interested I am willing to make a deal on them, just shoot me a message.
