I heard back from the body shop. Picked the wrong day to quit sniffing glue.

So those look like the stock tires? They warn you NOT to drive on them when the temperature is below 40 degrees F. I crashed my Focus doing just that. You must have noticed they have NO GRIP. Sure you can accelerate some, but you can't stop and you can't steer. You need winter tires as well as everything else you listed. .. Let this be a warning to anyone else who thinks they can drive with the Bridgestones that come on the car through the winter...

What a drag man. .. I feel for ya...

I've been driving on the stock tires in -30 :/ perhaps it's time to seriously consider some winters

That list looks awful though I hope it all works right after she's fixed and doesn't hurt the pocket too bad
