When stopping for gas ends up being a BAD idea!

Also on another note I drove over two mountain passes, the black hills and Tiger mountain before this happened. I drove to my destination without fail and without chains. I got stuck in the driveway of the house I was going to. Had to use chains to leave. I took them off and drove over one pass and tiger mountain again. All without any problem all to lose my luck going slow at a Fn gas station.

 

So is this a mobile dent removal service? I didn't get the contact info. I wonder what size dent remover it will take to get my dent out. Maybe it will take a few more hands. Kinda getting dark here, LOL

 

So OP should sue the sky for producing snow?

 

What is that saying? " The sky is the limit"

 

At least it's not like a local gas station in my area that recently had its GAS pumps filled with diesel...They're handling it professionally but what a mess....

 

If that’s the case there should’ve been millions of lawsuits to the sky during hurricane Harvey.

 

Look at the last pic in the first post.
You’ll see snow left between the treads in the right tire (what you described as the front tire) up to a certain point, then the snow disappears for the most part. That’s what made me think it looked like the tire skidded.

Could be due to less snow because of the canopy.

In any case, I hope your repairs are to your satisfaction.

 

Another reason why I make sure I fill up before it snows. That and the fact that if the gas stations lose power, I have a full tank.

 

The pole thingy at gas stations is undefeated

 

Wait until OP gets sued for damaging the gas stations property.

 

Oh sweet Jesus.

 

Looks more like a half-inch of snow over solid ice

 

Yes, but its American snow, not that super friendly Canadian stuff you guys get.

 

I see you're in NW WA , did you get hammered with snow this last week with storms we got ?

 

I'm in Bellingham and we got a decent amount. Probably a little over a foot total between the storms on my hill. We've been going through freezing and thawing which is keeping the roads slippery. My neighborhood has a couple of streets in the 20% gradient range. Those have been fun but the trucks have been handling it without drama. It might be a different story if I had to commute, but we just stayed home and did a lot of sledding and worked on the teardrop trailer in the garage.

 

We ended up with 18" where I am at sea level

 

Well that looks like fun I kept the trucks cleared off and didn't have nearly that much of a buildup. Of course it's been raining the past day and a half, so most of our snow is gone already. We're supposed to get some more weather next week. We'll see how it goes.

 

The employee had said it was 6 feet or so in the ground.

 

Stopping for gas wasn't the bad idea, but there were a couple others.
