The list of Winter-related automotive casualties?

began to disappear and the edge delaminated from the blade. Fortunately, I had the tools & supplies to repair it...not so fast - the replacement rivets abraded away during blizzard #2 so I ended up drilling out the rest and going with the plastic blade only. It's all about power to weight ratio anyway, right? .
I've also managed to break both of the blade corners off now that the metal edge is gone. One side of the reinforcement around the handle socket gave way when trying to lever too much of what the plow left in front of the driveway. At the rate of decay, my shovel won't last to see the 5' burm flanking the length of the driveway melt away this spring.

The weather may have brought on its death. Then again, 83K might have something to do with it too.

Wife discovered a few days ago that the front right fog light had been knocked in and the bezel around it cracked. Have no idea how it happened, must have hit a chunk of ice while driving, or parked too close to a snow pile. Ugh, fearing the repair bill. Oh, and the windshield got the mandatory ding from a rock.

The Dakota has the worst of it, the alternator is $400.00 to replace, I also found a cracked fog light too.
The Audi is just really dirty
