Ice berg! dead ahead!
I dont know if it fell off the car in front of me or if they just went over it or what but by the time I saw it I tried to steer and slid right into it. Kept going but knew it was going to be messed up. About 30 seconds later I get a washer fluid thing on the led display (must have messed up the headlight washer).



Not tooooo bad, and its going to stay like this for the rest of winter. I dont think it will be bad to leave it like this? I am prolly just going to cap off the coolant line and remove the headlight washers cause they arent really needed. Is there an electrical connection to them? (aka am I going to get some type of CEL) or are they just pressure driven?
Time to look for a new bumper.

Ouch! That sucks, looks like another reminder for the rest of us to try and drive even more careful out there. Hope it only cost you the time to fix it.
