Well a couple of weeks ago I was driving along a side road, this was a narrow road and the speed limit was 35. I passed a cop who pulled me over because he said I crossed the center line and I was speeding (going forty). So he just gave me a warning. About an hour later I was driving and noticed my car was steaming out the hood, so I looked at the temprature gauge and it is way overheated. We had it towed to a mechanic who told us it was the cooling fan. So he fixes it and it still overheats. We take it back to him again to find that I blew a head gasket. The car wasn't worth much(96 ford contour). So we decided to get a new one.
After about a week of looking we decided on a 2000 Dodge neon Es. I loved this car and I was very proud of this car. Today I had this car a week and a day. Around 7:30 I took my girlfriend home and was driving back to my house. It just started to snow outside, but i didn't think it was bad yet. So as I was on the same road that I got pulled over on coming down a hill, I hit a patch of ice and went sliding into a ditch, well then the car flipped. I was unhurt but all I could think about afterwards was how my parents had just spent $5,000 and had nothing to show for it. We only had liability insurance. My hand is just cut up from climbing out of the car. I just feel really bad right now. Ill get pics of the car when I can.
