DOH!! Wrecked my daily today:(.

That's right. 3TONFUN hit some ice this morning at work and slowly slid into the corner of a building. Buildings don't move as much as you'd think. Killed th driver's rear door, 1/4 panel and busted the mirror off when I backed up to get off the ice. Wish I could say I wrecked it doni' sumpthin' cool like jumpin' a wfole congregation of midget nuns. But no, I'm the dumbass that hit a building at 3mph. Oh well. It'll be fixed soon enough.

 

Glad to hear your okay, bud! How was xmas with the kids?

Some caveman engineering mad eht e1/4 not rub on the tire. Caedboard window tinted with black spray paint make the damage hardly noticeable from 3/4 mile. Sucks bad.

 

I had a shoebox ford that I got in 1974 when I worked at a Standard station. It had both back windows in spray painted card board. The silver duct tape kinda ruined the look intill we got smart and made "wide chrome" around all the other windows.
Sorry to hear about the new unplanned project. Here in sunny ( snowing in tucson rat now) arizona ya gotta pick some of the nastiest cactus out of any off road adventure.

 

that would never happen to me cuz if it was cold enough for ice on the road I wouldn't go outside.

 

The race tape actually matches my silver Caprice wagon rather well!

 

Hell, it makes everything get at least five miles to the gallon better mileage! Aerodynamics, ya know!

Let me know when you get that jump scheduled over the congregation of midget nuns, that sounds like the start to one hell of a weekend!

 

49rat If some of us didnt go out in the cold we would be shut ins 5-6 months of the year.

 

Yeah, glad to hear your okay. Ice is some nasty stuff. When you get sliding, you aint stopping. The week after Thanksgiving, going down a dirt road, came across an ice patch. The lady in front of us slammed on her brakes. My brother hit his brakes and started sliding. Spun 180 degrees and slid 30 feet down into a ditch. He hit the rear end of his truck into a tree. We were both okay. Thank God. Scary day let me tell you.

 

Pete,
Just think of the damage as "winter patina"

 

"Hold my beer, WATCH THIS!"

 

If you were laid off like the rest of us, you'd still be home!

 

i also wrecked my daily today.I was driving from my house and with the snow on the streets, I had to get over for a little tuner car.I hit a rut and slid right into a light pole. right front on my chevy truck is jacked up

 

Kinda wish I had someone to hold my beer. Spilled it and smelled like Colt 45 all day at work.

 

Try King Cobra...don't let the smooth taste fool you.....if you drink enough you won't even know you hit anything....

 

sorry to hear that Pete

I blew up the 210,000 mile T Bird earlier this summer... it killed me. That car (97 Tbird) was the best car I've ever owned. Hadn't skipped a beat on me in 10 years and 200,000 miles.

 

Gotta be careful out there. Glad to hear it was at slow speed, and that you are ok.

 

Glad you're OK. Yesterday there were a lot of folks in the D that were parking by braille!


Didn't feel so bad when I noticed that most of the cars on their roofs were rice-burners...

 

sorry to here this, i think there has been a lot of metal bent last week.

 

I'm thinking I should come down and pick up Frankie and Ruby. Your proving your not responsible enough to be in charge. I'll return them when they are ready for college. Between now and then save your money, College is expensive.

Nice try, when DON'T you smell like Colt 45 at work?

 

My Grandpa told me that there was a story in the newspaper about a car today that had over 1 million miles. The guy had done over 300 oil changes on it.
