We were cloudy I didnt even see a glimpse of sun all day at work. We had a bunch of sand trucks drive around which didnt do shit...Everytime I saw them they still had a full load in the back.

Same. Decided to take the Honda to work. Sucked working a clutch through some of the snow, but I got to have some fun on the way home.

I find it easier to drive a manual than an auto through snow.

not really. It just doesnt shift out of gear and make you lose control...aka my friends truck. I usually leave it in second and it works out pretty well. I dont give it gas when it starts so there is not much wheelspin.

Or you just need to do a tune up on your vehicle...Maintenance, alignments, tire compounds...all contribute to gas mileage.

Anyone have any recommendation for an auto collision shop in the North Dallas/Carrollton area? I'm getting a new front bumper for an 09 RL. I thought about going to Sterling Auto/Lewisville, Xtreme Collision/Addison, or McDavid Acura Collision/Plano but any great suggestions would be great.

All State gave the estimate to be just over $900
