Thanks for posting Jeff.  Fortunately, the S4 took the brunt of the
hurt, all occupants OK and no other folks involved in the crash.
Accident caused by pickup truck towing a trailer.  I was coming up in
the left lane over a rise on route 89 south (on the way to Sugarbush).
 Traffic was coming to a stop in the right lane due to another
accident and this guy decides to get into left lane without looking
from a dead stop.  Choices were duck left into median, which was a
deep gully and seemed like might be a rollover threat, hit him, or try
right.  I went right, threaded the needle into the breakdown lane
while downshifting and threshold braking on icy/snowy road.  Just
barely clipped the cable pylon, but it ripped front strut assembly and
wheel off and spun me around.  Some minor body damage.  Engine still
running fine and not leaking anything.  Was prolly going 25 to 30mph
when I hit the barrier.  Glad everyone is ok.  Guy didn't even stop.
Luckily cop was already onsite.  Unfortunately, I think I may have to
pay for the guardrail damage, in addition to a total loss on S4, as I
just cancelled collision 4 months ago.  DOH!

So, down to business.  The car is currently parked behind my condo,
but will need to be gone pronto.  It is cyclamen metallic on black,
minor bolster wear on drivers side seat, both seat heaters work.
Carbon Fiber in decent shape.  Metal crossover pipe, engine in great
shape.  Recent repairs include trap arm bushings in rear, new rotors,
pads, CV boots, tie rods, alternator, j-hose.  Well maintained all
around.  One Fuchs is trashed, others are in good shape with newer
Kumhos on them.  I will take pretty much anything for it whole.  You
come get it.  You'd need a flatbed.  If you are close, I can possibly
arrange a tow.

Pics to follow.
