Cool Gimme SNOW, already!

Got my Blizzaks on and I want some $%@ing snow!

Why? Because these tires are so loud on a dry road they make me think something's wrong.


Now if I could just track down some diys for minor bodywork.

What kind of bodywork are you looking at doing? (FWIW, unless you have a heated facility in which to work, I would not be performing any bodywork until after the snow is gone. Cold temps and humidity can really knock around the performance of fillers, paints, solvents etc)

Not looking to do any of it till spring... just some minor dings, a few unsightly ones on the front of the hood, and one very nasty one from someone who parked next to me and clearly swung their door open as hard as they could. Just want to pop them out. Scratches I can deal with pretty well, but dings not so much.

UPALLNIGHT, do you have any idea on price for PDR. I got a couple on my rear deck lid I'd like to take care of.

Depends on the guy, but usually its by dent or by panel.

I've seen $50 per dent, $75 per panel in my area. Check with your local dealership for their recommendation, they most likely sub out the work to Dent Wizard or similar.

I used a guy once that was $60 for the first, $30 for each after that, so we knocked out two vehicles at once.
