I had my element for 15 years with almost 300 000 miles until it slid off the road and hit a tree😢. It still looked brand new! It was the first one sold!!

Hey Mindy!! Wish I would have known you were going to be in my neck of the woods! I would have made you dinner and given you a roof for a night or two. So listen, you need to reduce your speed when driving in the wind and snow here, especially on that part of the hwy. I know you have a good vehicle for this type of weather event, but our area is different, sometimes it rains first and black ice is right under that light snow and wind through that area can reach 100+ mph and more. During that storm, we had over 100mph in Carson City. They closed Washoe, 395 and 580 because of blowing snow and people sliding off the road. The raid where there were no cars for you, you also need to be careful with speed. It could be a very long while before someone finds you. So just a word to the wise ok? Nevada is very unpredictable in weather and road conditions. You lucked out getting 9th fixed. It is hard to get into repair shops right now. I go straight to the dealer with my Subaru. You still in Nevada?
