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)

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?
