i went to pick my brother up from school and guess what happens.
i'm two cars in back of the guy in front of me and he hits the brakes out from nowhere and i brake. my car slides from two cars a way and hits him. i was only going 10-18 mph. lucky me since my car was lowered my front went under his back bumper. he ends up with only scratches on his bumper and me, my hood is smashed and the front reinforcement bar that the stick for holding the hood is bent down, and my headlights are pressed in.
pro- i didn't get a ticket but the other did.
con- insurance is going up now.

You should always keep a safe distance from the car infront of you, especially if it rains or snows.

School was cancelled here in all of Chicagoland, my daughters prechool wa cancelled. It was horrible. We stayed in because it was "blizzard like conditions" They wanted me to drive to Chicago to do a blood draw in that weather into Chicago. It would have taken me hours just to get there LOL I said forget it. I could barely see out my window let alone drive in it.

I hate snow. I hate it even more because my winter car is not ready yet. That means FURTHER degradation of the summer Pony (which has been even MORE detuned for winter)

I hate winter.

OMG I dont have a snow brush! I had to clean off my car with a tiny little duster

Jed118 · 12-05-2006, 12:04 PM

What's snow?

Tibbychick · 12-05-2006, 12:25 PM

Yeah I used our dust brush. It worked pretty good though. Make sure you get me one with soft bristles so as not to scratch my paint.

I got stuck 3 freakin' different times in one freakin' hour the other day in my neighborhood. In a town where SUV's outnumber cars (I'm not exaggerating...), you would think that at least ONE out of 20 that passed me each time would've stopped and asked me if I needed help...but noooooo they couldn't!!!! I even had freakin' tow straps in my car!!! The SUV drivers would even slow down and look...and you could almost see them thinking "HAHA I have 4 wheel drive and you don't!!! Na-na-na-na!!!"

But yes...I hate wintertime in the Accent.
