We Crashed our Chevy Volt on Christmas Eve - Did we survive? - @Barnacules

Did you know I've made over 800+ other videos on YouTube? Hit that *SUBSCRIBE* button and watch another Barnacules Nerdgasm video right after this one! 🍿 *UPDATE* The body shop called and said the frame is tweaked and there was a ton of damage so the car is TOTALED. We're just waiting to hear back on what happens next then we will look for a cheap, used, safe car to replace it for my wife and son to drive. Something that is AWD. Would love to get a Tesla Model 3 but it's not in the cards right now, but one day I hope that we both drive Tesla's. Driving home from a party on Christmas Eve 2017 we lost traction going down a very steep snow covered hill because it concealed a patch of ice and we went on the roller coaster ride of a lifetime. I had my wife and my 7 year old son Xander in the car with me & I've never felt so helpless. Please comment below on your similar experiences and let me know how long it's going to take for me to not be nervous behind the wheel again. ▼ Check out my latest shirts for sale and support my channel ▼ http://shop.barnnerd.com ▼ Want to help me out with my huge $1000 insurance deductible? ▼ https://u.muxy.io/tip/barnacules ▼ Come watch Morning Coffee show LIVE -or- RECORDED on Twitch ▼ http://twitch.tv/barnacules ^- Daily Show @ 8:30am PDT (GMT-8) ^- Watch full recorded shows including the one this clip was taken from ▼ Follow & interact with me on your favorite social network ▼ Twitter @ http://twitter.com/barnacules (Tag me @Barnacules) Discord @ https://bit.ly/BarnDiscord (Join #general) Instagram @ http://instagram.com/barnacules Facebook @ http://facebook.com/barnaculesnerdgasm ▼ Links to Equipment & Software I use to produce videos & live stream▼ Yamaha MG10XY Mixer Board (Synth) - http://amzn.to/2fyuydW Sony FDR-AX53 4k Camera - http://amzn.to/2hkJBo9 Sony FDR-AX33 4k Camera - http://amzn.to/2hc6L1R Sony NP-FV100 Extended Battery - http://amzn.to/2hhZYV0 Manfrotto Professional Fluid Video Tripod - http://amzn.to/2grdC8s Manfrotto Ballhead (Existing Tripod) - http://amzn.to/2gyCfyv Joby Gorilla Pod Focus - http://amzn.to/2hkJ6dF Joby Gorilla Pod Standard - http://amzn.to/2gNOCo4 Joby Gorilla Pod Ballhead - http://amzn.to/2hi0jXL Sennheiser MKE-440 Microphone - http://amzn.to/2hhEIfc Zoom H6N Audio Recorder - http://amzn.to/2gyCn10 Zoom H4N Audio Recorder - http://amzn.to/2hkNSbc Audio-Technica ATR3350 Lavaliere Microphone - http://amzn.to/2gyClGl Large Aputure Light Storm LED Light Panel - http://amzn.to/2gNPdWQ Smaller Aputure LED Light Panel - http://amzn.to/2gNNKjj ePhotoInc 500 LED Light Panels (Cheaper) - http://amzn.to/2gO2kY3 Compact CFL lighting kit (Budget) - http://amzn.to/2gyAOQL Adobe Creative Cloud Software - http://adobe.com Sony Vegas Editing Software - http://amzn.to/2hi1tCk ▼ Get discount on GT Omega Racing Office Chair ▼ GT Omega Chairs @ http://bit.ly/1lA4h4K -or- Use code 'NERDGASM' at checkout! ▼ Join My Folding@Home Team And Let's Find A Cancer Cure ▼ Barnacules Nerdgasm Team # 231300 Download Client @ http://folding.stanford.edu/ ** Top 10 contributors shown on Twitter weekly ▼ Get 15% KinesisGaming Freestyle Edge Keyboard & Accessories ▼ https://gaming.kinesis-ergo.com/barnacules-rgb/ ^- Use code 'barnacules' for 15% off entire order at checkout! ▼ Join my Patreon for more rewards and benefits ▼ http://patreon.com/barnacules ▼ Want to help with my insurance deductible for the accident with BitCoin? ▼ 1NRcQ3qPYdP369q3oCkZxAYajcwLTNJC1V Questions and Answers...
