Well, went over and looked at the Jimmy this afternoon. Ugghhh! Hood buckled - couldn't open without tools/crowbar/sledgehammer. Center grille busted up. Driver's side headlight broken, AC condenser shoved back & bent. "Ticking sound" when started - probably fan hitting something. Antifreeze dripping on ground after shutting off. Looks like we won't be driving it for awhile. Gotta start doing some "parts collecting" at "Pick-N-Pull", it looks like. - Convenient it hasn't been above freezing here since Christmas!! NOT!!

In the meantime, my '99 Suzuki Swift is in the shop. Should be getting it back on Tuesday. At least the ScanGauge seemed to work when I drove it over there this morning. I wasn't too pleased to see only 24.X mpg at 60 mph on the freeway, though.

....sigh.....

Seems the best thing, if possible, to keep your car in a garage, the shelter increases temp and no switches to turn on etc.
