Well that was fun.
Right after I made the last post the phone rang.
Youngest daughter (yeah her)....."I went off the road into a guardrail and i'm stuck"
Me....are you alright and where are you.
She's about 6 miles away on a dirt (read snow covered ) road.... it's 0* ,snowing heavily, yup be right there.
So the car is about a car length off into the snow bank/guardrail. Pull the snow out from under the front to make sure she didn't poke a hole in the oil pan or radiator.......nothing leaking.....okey dokey. Tear the pick-up apart trying to find my tow strap......nada....
Stopped at the first house I came to and got a strap.... good thing it was a good strap as I had to give it some slack a yank it several times before I finally got it into the road.
Plastic bumper is history but i'm thinking that's not too bad..........but wait.......
how come the driverside wheel is pushed back against the fender
So it will steer to the right but straight ahead or to the left it rubs big time.
Parked it out of the way so the plow truck wouldn't hit it and came home.
On the way home I thought .....I wonder if the spare tire is small enough to not rub.
Got back home loaded up some tools ,jack, flashlight, tape measure.
Long story short.....I drove it back and it's thawing out in the garage.
Can't see what's bent as its packed full of snow.
Guess I know what i'm doing tomorrow.
