freakin A this is my first accident, it was bull, i slid like 20ft. into a 2002 sr5 v6 toyota tacoma, behind the door on that and all the way back to the end of the cab, totalled my fender, practically destroyed my fliptop light, i kinda t-boned him with my little corner. just got the clear corner parking lights installed like two days before and had the thing painted and now its all ruined, any comments and suggestions welcome on how to fix it. it has been snowing in seattle and its gay. it has substantially setback my plans, i hate ice, i hate it. i dont even use it in my soda.

that really sux, man. but it looks like it missed the bumper, so you lucked out there. just get a new fender + headlight bucket and corners and you should be in business. those parts shouldn't run you too much more than $50 at the jy.

Yeah no reason to move, it's just not average this year.

Two days Ago it got down to 8F here (3000FT elevation in the Central California Foothills!) and most of my area was without water for 3 days.

So either it's gonna get better and go back to normal?
or we need to hit up our fellow Canadian Friends have have them show us there ways of daily life before 25F in the winter time. LOL

But Good Luck man!

25?... its been -30C or -15F for most of last week and today, and its been colder!

and there are alot of crashes around here because teenagers can afford that great of cars (me, but not dissin 3geez) so they have crappy responces, paired with some, but not most teenagers thinking they are the greatest drivers ever an they dont have to listen to traffic laws...

Thats why I say we need to talk to our Canadian friends on how to prepare
for winter, if these abnormally LOW temps we are seeing in the USA become our New NORMAL Temps.


Stay warm my friend!

well, Im not sure that everyone else has the saem issues. The nice thing about being -whatever is that its cold and it stays cold. Here we go from frozen and snowy in the night and warm in the day back to frozen at night and what you end up with is a nice never ending sheet of ice. The other huge issue is we have terrible road prep. They dont scrap or plow or anything else here. They just sand hills and thats it. So I cant talk for the rest of the frozen tundra and such but ours isnt a snow problem, its an ice problem. Oh and ALL THOSE DAMN CALIFORNIANS THAT THINK THEY DRIVE UP HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

no offence to the 3gee californians, just the rest of them. Its a long story and youd have to be up here.
