Couple days ago, there was really bad weather up in the northeast. Icy rain, black ice and whatnot. At 2 am in the wee morning, my dad is driving the pathy back from work. He didn't realize how bad the road was. At the top of a hill, he brakes lightly. Then all goes wrong. He said the wheels locked and it the car started to slide out of control. IT crossed to the opposing lane, jumped the curb, hit a tree, and another, spun around and hit another tree, I think. That is a scenario I deduced from seeing the accident site and the damage on the car. The car is totaled and can't be fixed. Fixing is more than the value of the car. It is a 2002 Nissan Pathfinder LE with 70k only. The whole suspension in the rear is messed up and it looks like the axle and other parts kinda shifted over to the left. The left front is damaged, and the shake the car received messed up things in the interior. No hope. The adjuster's gonna come on Monday and probably write it off.
I loved the thing and was hoping to drive it for many long years. The new vehicles suck. Can't mess with the Pathy styling. Here the pics, sadly. 
Thankfully, my dad is safe. Good thing it wasn't a front end collision.
Thats my dads coffee mug, dented.
