A story for mom
So, about the new dents. About a week ago, we went to Harriman state park to do some cross country skiing. The roads were great!! There was plenty of ice for sliding and we did our fair share of it. One of the drivers, Hans, plowed into a snowdrift with his two sons. I thought it would be fun to come around the corner he couldn't make and slide my back end around. The drift was solid!! Needless to say we came off with a nice new dent in the rear. The second time I did it was even better!! The best one, though, wasn't really a dent. It was more of a bumper realignment. For any of you that have been to Island Park, you may remember the 3-5 ft high walls of snow on the roads edge. This can cause some nice drifts to build up on the road. As I hit this drift with 6 people in my car, the front end became trapped... Not in the drift, but on top of the wall! We had the whole front end four feet high while the back end came around. Thanks to the law of conservation of momentum, the back end swinging around kept our momentum in the general direction of travel and eventually it pulled us down off the wall, but not before adjusting our bumper about an inch. There you have it mom! Thats the new dent story. And then there was that time in your van...
