So over here in Pennsylvania we had a massive snow storm or actually, snow falling on top of snow that was already there! I spent 3 hours cleaning my car and then as I went about my things through out the day, I actually wasted a whole tank of fuel just spinning my tires!
I mean, my god, I just hate it when you get stuck in the snow, you spin your tires back and forth, sometimes you get desperate and you shift gears too quickly and you feel the gears slam from 1st to reverse or from reverse to 1st, ouch. But you go back and forth, back and forth and you manage to get out the darn snow that puts your damn car side ways and pulls you in more to the bad side.....uughhhh!!!!!! I hate it!!!
To make matters worse, there were kids and people on the street and oh yeah, they are so smart they take the snow from their damn cars and throw it on the street?!?! I'm going up this hill to get to my place and notice the retards ahead are cleaning their cars and have deposited the snow on the street, this street being a rather steep hill, I was going up fine until I hit the loads of snow they dumped on to the street.....my god, you've got to wonder what are these people thinking?!?!
At points I saw grey smoke coming out of my tires while going up hills, and for the most part my engine was always revving at around 3000 to 4000 RPM while it was just spinning its tires trying to get throw these dangerous streets.
Finally, when the day was over, I found my tranmission to be shifting very harshly, as a matter of fact, I put it on reverse and ended up spinning my tires, when the tires caught traction, I heard a devastating sound, clak! thump! crak! then reverse kicked in....my guess is as the tires spun, they finally caught some kind of traction and the gear engaged roughly....damn snow just fucks up your transmissions!
Also, due to the high revving all day long battling my way through these streets covered in snow, my exhaust melted at the bottom, the check engine light came and later found out my O2 sensor got over heated...also the transmission input speed sensor went out and the car was stuck in 2nd gear (Hyundai fail safe).
I spent about 4 hours digging out a parking lot with a tiny shovel outside 16F, fucking "A". I was so anxious to go home that I couldn't even fill the cold anymore, I just kept digging and digging and finally got my car in. However, everything in the engine compartment sounds all fucked up.....I know there was be some damage....I popped the hood and found the engine was working like a champ, not strange sounds, just running peacefully...however the exhaust developed a leak from the constant high revving, some stuff got broken, front bumper and the power steering pump is shot, the only reason I could steer in the snow is because the snow allowed the tires to turn freely.
Its been a hell of a day and I'm really unhappy with my car....Hyundai sucks. I've put Toyotas through worse torture and they were ready for more the next day, my car is just simply a piece of shit now, I'm just going to finish fixing it up and selling the bastard.
comments welcome, let me know how your snowy days work out for you.....in my case, we had lots of snow....28 inches over there....well actually, its so high it reaches the windows in my apartment....when I opened the door, I had to force my self through the snow.....thats just how bad it was.
Sorry, but I needed to bent, there is no way, I'm going out tomorrow and I don't have to worry about street cleaning tickets because street cleaning is obviously out of the question.
