This is the way.

That was epic. Can't add a thing. Gotta ask, which town do you live in?

Just don’t drive like you’re overconfident that’s all I can say. Like I’ve heard many times before: don’t drive like an ass if you don’t see the asphalt.

2017 Taco? Is that a K-Car from Central America?

Drop them then... free replacement is like a basic coverage for other companies.

Edit: I got rid of USAA over 10 years ago to include banking because they were such BS. Been with GEICO since moving back to RI.

Go to central rock gym in Warwick. You’ll make friends quick.

Ocean State Job Lot is your new best friend. They have everything you’ll need for winter.

It has a lot to do with the make and model of your car. So without that information this post is useless.

I found Safelite to be the most expensive. We used Patriot Auto Glass and it was half the price of Safelite.

message me

If you have shit like EyeSight, then no.

I think this is a thing of the past.

Go to South Providence, West End Elmwood or Smith Hill they are some of the friendly people you ever meet. I made new friends there

Re snow tires. Never used them but we do have a friend with a compact car and a sloped driveway who swears by them but yes they are an expense. And you’d have to have a place to store the other ones during the winter so unless you have space in your garage and about 400 bucks every six months….. If you lived on rochambeau or a similarly sloped street I’d consider them - maybe- if I had the money and a small car but I temper that by trying to drive as little as possible. And also complain to the city via 311 when they don’t plow / salt your side street (east side coverage for that kind of thing is terrible).

A Maserati that doesn't even have a Ferrari engine anymore smh

Agreed!

Some modern windshields have all kinds of sensors built in and therefore cost a lot.

I moved here just a few months ago for a new job! 26 (male) living in Warwick and I’m looking to make some new friends as well.

I dont know what OP drives but I have a 2018 Tacoma and I was quoted 1K and up for safelite and a couple local places

$1k? Do you drive a Maserati? Safelite did mine for like $260

A million times this. Even if you have to travel a bit it’s Worth it.

Not sure where you are, but Absolute Auto Glass in North Smithfield has great prices. Super genuine owner, and they do great work.

Safelite will be cheaper. I got mine done on a 2017 taco a year or so back, was maybe $400? A glass place wanted like goddamn $800 for a cheaper window too

Snow can happen as early as October and as late as April. We've had a very mild winter so far. Some of the coldest days i've experienced in 34 years of living here have been in February. I wasn't alive for the blizzard of 78 but I specifically remember growing up with the blizzard of 96 and having to crawl through windows in my house at the time because there was too much snow outside to reach a storage room from the outside.

Something I’d like to point out about all season tires.

An all season tire sold in Canada is the same all season tire sold in Houston, TX.

All season tires just means the tire will survive the harsh cold and also be fine in the heat.

The only good tire in the winter is a winter tire and there is no way around that.
