On her way to Denver for front end repair...

Tire tracks showing the sloooooow slide into a ditch in front of my house. No speed at all, just pulled out of the driveway and slowly rode the brake down to the corner for the first turn. As soon as I began to turn the wheel the slide started, and before I could yell, "NO!" more than once I was in the ditch. There was a rock hidden underneath the snow that the front left crunched into. The sound was pretty sickening as the bumper slowly folded in on itself.

The plastic bumper folded nicely, and it does not appear to have any real damage to the hood, fender well, etc.
Definitely not a good way to start the new year, but at least the only thing hurt was my pride. The dealer in Denver has been great, and she will be at the collison center this afternoon. What makes it all suck even more was that I was driving her for the first time in about six weeks (due to the snow) and we were on our way to another house we have in the valley where I was going to park her for the rest of the winter. I told the dealer to "take your time," as I would be leaving her there until about April anyway...
