Celica Forums General Discussion General why not to drive the Celica in the winter seasons

did this while pullin into my drive tonight And what pisses me off the most is I did it while fuckin around, I didnt think and pulled a ebrake slide into the driveway and bottomed the passenger side front on some packed snow

lets try this one

I can't tell, what part of the car is that?

Indeed, winter driving sucks. We don't have much of it here in Cali, but I've done some road trips through nasty stuff before.

the lower left nub on the bumper

and from what I can tell it also cracked the seams on the mold between the bumper and the fender. I cant really see much cause the car is dirty and its also 3am but I bet this is just the tip of the iceberg

sorry to hear

no reason to be sorry, it was due to me acting childish and immature. whats odd is I was going about the same speed I always do when I pull in, maybe it was due to the extra momentum from the slide

all I know is this has really let my steam out, I was really tired on the way home and now I just find myself sitting staring at the computer thinking about when I'll have the time to have it fixed. If you look in the first pic theres paint on the ground, it just flakes off now

Im sorry man, i know how you feel kind of, i just fucked up my kam sideskirt :*( good luck getten her fixed.

that's f/g for ya...when there are snow or ice, just leave it in the garage...

Dam that sucks

just take it easy next time and dont' fool around..snowy weather are not to be fool around in..

damn

done a little something like that not screwing around, caught my ww kit on my curb and RRRIP, half the bumpers hanging off

OUCH...

sorry to hear man. I know that feeling. Just last week a dumbass kid in a jeep was line-locking his jeep in the icy school parking lot and slid into a light post. THAT would make you feel like a dumbass.

I keep my e-brake sliding etc to my school parking lot when no one is there...TONS of open room...which makes me laugh even more at that fag in a jeep for hitting one of 6 lightposts in a 100 yard square parking lot

please stop using ebrakes to powerslide. Why would you do such a thing in the first place?

I LOVE Ebrake slides. Its all about knowing how to control your car when is outta control

Thats sucks man but its only a car

that's sucks man

exactly the reason mine stays in the garage. good luck getting everything fixed.

gat hyrdolics or get your car bagged, so you can raise it when needed

Wow, there is no way I would drive around here in Michigan in the winter with a body kit anyway.

OUCH...you should switch to the stock bumpers in the winter if you still have them.

the kit is molded

dood what happend to ur winter beater? mine i wish wasnt the celica, but for now it is, though im looking at buying a full fleadge jeep cj for all around..

I did something worse the other day, I couldn't see much behind me and I backed into our new fence a little.. now I have a dent the size a bit smaller than a tennis ball just above my rear bumper. Fuckin' sucks and it's starting to get rusty in that area

teaches you to do that in weather like this.

never in my life would i do something like that in snow, i drive like a granny
but who cares.

Do you use your celica in the winter? I am going to buy a metro and store the celica in the garage for the winter i dont wanna hurt the body kit or anything

i got my stock bumper on right now, took off the blitz front and the rims, but my sideskirt and rear is still on, i am way too lazy to take them off

to the guy that said.."please stop powersliding using the ebrakes, why would you do that in the first place" ...have you ever driven in snow?? because when you pull the ebrake in snow it just slides, very nice, it doesn't put more than normal amounts of pressure on the bearing/hub assembly nor does it wear out your tires..you slide...it's very smooth.. if you safely practice ebrakes and safely fuck around in the snow, when a real emergency happens you know where your car is going to go, and how to correct it. there's been snow in my driveway/road for the past week and i ebrake into to it three times a day..i even do it on tight corners when there is room and no one around..it's a lot of fun..when you want the back end to grab you just let off the brake..*knock on wood*..unless there is ice..then you can't get traction, well, bearly any unless you have studded tires..you don't fuck with ice...

thats why i dont own a body kit...every time it snows here i go out and pull the ebrake left and right

went to the body shop today and its only gonna run 350 to repair it. I thought it was gonna run higher but...
