My bumper is bent down from a rear-end collision and I'm just driving it, frame is straight and the damage is only cosmetic.What did I do today ?put on new tires on my 2004 with 174k miles.. had been running the cheapest tires I could find, Pep Boys Futura Scramblers for $40 each. They were surprisingly good but not much use in snow. Those have been discontinued and the cheapest tires I could find are now $90 and up for brands no-one has ever heard of. Now have Atturo Trail Blade A/T with the 3PMSF for snow, at $112 each, $570 after fitting taxes etc etc. I'm interested to see if they are any better in the snow..what I still need to do - the center console snapped when I leaned on it to get something out the back seat. The replacement metal piece is $150 which is ridiculous. I have a bunch of kevlar and fiberglass epoxy for repairing canoes, going to see what I can do with the plastic snapped bit..</blockquote>
