I thought it was a venture capital firm. i looked online and that’s a DC hockey team. You are a fan so congrats on the win. Didn’t realize DC had a hockey team. Were you alive in June? They won the Stanley cup. Lol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showmethesnow Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 So this is how my weekend started at 5 am this morning. My beater, AKA Dog Mobile, took a hit. Guy sideswiped one of my neighbors cars before plowing into my neighbors second car which ended up resting on top of my car. Thankfully he wasn't hurt but I have a feeling my car may have seen its last days (thinking it will be totaled) as well as possibly my neighbors second car. Have had that Cavalier since 2002 and the only major money I ever put into it was for a rusted tail pipe. Even though it looked a little rough I loved that car, had a stick and was much easier on gas then my pickup. Have to now decide whether it is worth reinvesting in a 3rd vehicle again. The weekend can only improve from here, Right? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marquette,MI or Gaylord, MI would be a great spot. Both of them are in the heart if the michigan lake effect snow belts. If you like snowmobiling, they have hundreds of miles of groomed trails for sledding. I grew up in michigan and have a lot of great memories from the awesome winters. And the icefishing....probably my favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Value of the car is roughly around $1500. Thinking the repairs will easily exceed that. Depends on how much over as to whether I pay the extra to get it fixed or junk it. Sucks because I had the convenience of a 3rd vehicle and the only costs were for gas, registration and roughly $150-200 a year for insurance.

MillvilleWx Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Headed to Oklahoma City on Monday and looks like a severe threat in the middle of the week. Don’t know a thing about severe, so I wonder how much of a threat it really is. It’s a threat. OKC and Norman are magnets. Take a camera. .

That looks to definitely be on the other side of $1500 ...yikes! Remember when the Sporty Z24 option came out in the early 90s ...I had a couple friends get one . Well..maybe we get a HECS in 10 days and that might ease your pain I had a Z24. Loved that car until someone T-Boned me not even a year after buying it. Was never the same as everything leaked after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some massive damaged to several vehicles. 25 mph through that stretch. But people are quite often doing 45+. Neighbors car that got planted on top of mine slid a good 8+ feet by looking at the skid marks. Pretty big accomplishment considering he has a Toyota 4 Runner and he said he also had 400-500 lbs of tools in the back as well. So yeah, he was speeding. Claimed he fell asleep but I wonder if he was texting. The hour and a half dealing with the police there he spent a good 75% of his time on his phone texting.

Cause a wreck where several cars get damaged in a 25 mph zone then stay on the phone while discussing it with the cops.
