im sick of this cold *** weather in lockport IL. -7* . is freezing. car making ****y *** noises when turning and stuff.. i cant wait for summer.

oh and..

pay the 1300 or so to fix the bumper, or pay the 250 for insurance and have my rate go up?

 

It'd cost you less in the long run if you just pay it out of pocket.

 

For a $1300 payout your insurance should NOT go up. Most insurance companies should allow one small claim per year without increasing those rates.

It is like -12 + windchill...damn lakes here, I live about 15 minutes from the one of lakes.

 

ya im like 40 mins from chicago.

i already had an accident in my old car back in like july. i got a free pass or somthing. my friends dad said its going to be around 1500 to fix. i have a 250 deductable through my insurance. im just ganna go get estamte at the abodyshop, then call statefarm and see how mutch it would go up oif i went through them

 

HAHAHAHAH you think your cold? Check this out!
This is why all Canadian cars come with block heaters.

Hit 47'Celcius when I flew home from work the other day. Can't imagine what cold like you guys get even feels like. Coldest place I've been was probably Houston in January '95... and even that wasn't so bad.

 

-22°C today here in Montreal and -30°C with wind factor (that's -22°F)

 

Buddy... you don't know cold. Come to Canada when we have a cold snap with wind chill.

Anyone elses cars make a "noise" that comes from the front driverside wheelwell area, was thinking ice in the suspension but it usually only does it when wheels are almost locked one way and hitting the gas gently.

Man im sick of snow.

 

what kinda noise are we talking?

 

i hear it after my car hasnt run for about 8 hours, it is-10, and im turning
