Last week I drove my Jeep to the Airport Park and Ride on my way to San Jose, CA. There was a weird snow/ice storm and I had my first auto mishap, slid off the road and sideswiped a hydro pole. The Jeep is crumpled quite badly just after the driver's door - I escaped injury. After putting more than 3 grand into the Jeep last year, I don't want to do that again since it is a 1995.

Now that I am back in town, I have to find a new vehicle and that means giving up my Crossfire so I can have a reliable winter vehicle - can't manage two car payments.

I doubt if anyone will want to buy my baby during December in the frigid north so I will have to trade her in...argh, do you think they will be fair?

I hate the snow, hate the ice and hate my firggin luck. The very next day after the snow came, the temperature bounced back up and it has been balmy since.
