Default Winter Battle Royal... GM Vs. GM...


So... in the last week... I've rear ended two Pontiac Gran Ams... My car can stop ANY other time.. but when I'm behind a grand am? nooo just keeps going!
So... my car bounces off them. and something on my car is damaged. and they are unscathed... I'll post pics soon...

if anyone sees fenders, and front bumper covers for a white 95 Saturn SL2. PM me T_T

Look at it this way, at least you don't have to fix damage to the other vehicle.

Don't buy from 6th planet. Junkyard is probably your best bet...that Junkyard in Aurora had lots of 1g Saturns, not too many white, though :/

There's a White 1g that's like my car's twin at the Davis Junction junk yard. could probably get it from there for under $20. so. I will probably go that route.

yeah... I was lucky I guess... but it's still annoying... :\

I didn't lock the breaks up. at least I don't think so. I was pumping the breaks like mad :\ so I don't know why it would have locked up T_T

no - your e-brake will lock up the wheels. Your car does not stop as quickly if the wheels lock up - thats why they invented ABS.
