Show us your winter damage!

[geoff5093]

I hate winter, just today I was driving down the street and on my way home I couldn't make it up the hill (put my summer tires back on, grrr), but when trying to back down the hill my tire became flat from sliding into the hard packed ice on the side of the road. So I had to call AAA and have them pull me out since I had turned onto a side street and had to walk home, had them change out the tire with one of my stocks, and now I'm going to be going to a tire shop to have it fixed. And of course the various scrapes and dings you get during the winter, such as last night when I scrapped a snow bank trying to turn around and broke my fog light housing.

shiitttt man, winter has not been very nice to you. just yesterday i was thinking that spring was here for good, guess not anymore...


you have to love the look of that steelie though, come on

Ouch! Damn snowbanks! I put my new wheels and tires on last weekend. I was hoping it would put me in the spring mood. Now we are getting 6"-8" of snow today. I am so ready for winter to be over.

man thats bad luck, i live up in new brunswick and the weather took a toll on my car too here is the list

1. Brakes all seized due to too much cold (when it happened it was -30 Celcius) - 1600$ for all new parts front and rear
2. Hit Ice bank while pulling into driveway and took my plate off(did not want it there anyways)
3.Accessory Belt froze and snapped
4.Have had 4 flats one after another (all four in 1 week)

I so much don't like winter....therefore I move to the southeast!!!
Oh man, that crack looks ugly - hope you can fix it. Feel sorry for you.


PS: I keep my winter rubber on until way into spring because winter tires can be driven in spring but summer tires can't be driven in snow.

The guy from the trucking company gave me a crazy eye when I told him we got to pick up a few more Camry's all over the Northeast before heading south....

Damn, hope you'll have better luck soon as winter is going away.

So you moved already?

[fdexclpl]

lammydi,
Are you staying away from the snowbanks and icy roads? I hear it's horrible this time of year in San Diego.

[Punks_Not_Dead5]

no winter damage for me..i know how to drive in it!

As for pullin the winter tires off in March...kinda dumb...especially when you're in NH...us northerners shouldn't take them off til atleast the 2nd week of April..or even May 1st to be safe!

You bet I'm staying away from snow and icy roads. I lived for 5 years in North Dakota during my teenage High School years. It was COLD so I moved to San Diego where the weather is a lot similar to Viet Nam.
ps. It was kinda cold in San Diego as I had to put on a towel when I got out of the pool yesterday!
