Okay, so the first time was totally my fault, and I'm lucky I didn't hit a car.
But the second time was all Snow Miser, and it didn't seem like it was that bad 'cause I was going slowly because of the ice anyway, and braking into the turn.
Yeah, so I was totally in denial about potential damage.
First it was: It's just that the hubcap got cracked that's all. It's still on there. If I need to I can replace it with the extra one I've got in the trunk from last time.
Then it was: So maybe the plastic stuff in the wheel well is a little bit out of shape. I can fix that! Look at me bending it back into place so that it matches the other side!
Later: Well, it seems like the steering wheel is sorta tilted to the left... but maybe it was always like that and I just didn't notice!
Finally: Hmmm. This vibrating steering wheel is really rather disconcerting, but it only happens when I'm going between 60 and 65 mph, so can't be that bad.
Turns out the power of positive thinking can not actually fix bent car parts.
