So, whoever wrecked a vehicle today raise your hand...... oh i see one (me)

 

OH, oh, that don`t sound good. Hope it wasn`t too bad, now spill the beans.
***** is stuck intown for now, hope our hiway gets cleaned some time soon..

 

well for one it took me 2 and a half hours to get from 43rd st e (north industrial) to cumberland and ruth st. When i finally got on to preston avenue. Someone in a nice f150 stopped in the middle of two lanes and sat there for no reason. It was relatively calm and you could see both sides of the road. Anyhoo, when i saw his brake lights i braked, but i slid for almost a 3/4 of a block and my anti lock never went on so i pumped like a mother but to no avail. I tried to ditch it, but the ruts on the side were like 24 to 32" high and solid ice so i didnt get up it at all. i slid right in to him and he barely got even a scratch. A paint scuff and a scuff on his chrome bumper. Whereas, i had a bent f. bumper, broken driver side light, drivers fender, hood and drivers door, plus i had my new heater core leak all over the iunside of the windshield. Now i cant see and my alternator got screwed up and is registering 5 onthe guage, so i barely had winshield wipers too. It was a very long and cold 16 block drive. Gotto give the guy a call later tonight to exchange info, it was too friggin cold and windy to do it on the road.

 

Ouch that's your Chevy? Hopefully it's written off and you can get a Ford.
I'm laid off so didn't do driving My Phamasist sister got the day off but will have to drive tomorrow and my oldest sister got stuck this morning going to work a block from her house. (little Chevy cavalier)

 

im pretty sure shes done. It was a good work truck, but too bad i just spent $2 grand fixing hte cooling system and brakes.

 

High kilmeters? What do you think SGI would give you.

 

its got 355k (90% highway) body is in good shape so i hope $4k but anything over 2k im happy, i only paid 1500 for it

 

Chris, I see another Ford in you future soon....
Talk to POW City Mechnanical (lockups/Eric) they have some on their fleet.
Other than that have a look at SGI.
Do you need a full size or will a Ranger do?

 

id perfer a full size, but if the price is right, hey, im open to almost anything.

 

Might not want to get our hopes up remeber the Chevy still isn't "offically" dead.

 

ya thats true. Im scared to take it in because4 sgi is gonna be swamped this week and i dont want to drive it, it was scary going that 16 blocks.

 

Some roads have been shut down here today.

The start of the current blizzard pattern sweeping Alberta hit late last night ...This was taken at about 9:30 am today.
