Angry Well Be Careful Guys

Hey guys just wanted to let you know how much of a crappy feeling I got when I tried to open my door today and it was freezing outside; the freakin door handle broke. It lifted up then I realized how much lighter it felt so I looked under and the handle was broke! >: ( So be careful guys dont let this happen to you too!

That's just another reason why my FD is nestled snuggly in the garage, awaiting 40+ gegree temperatures before coming back out. Not to mention the 3 inches of ice covering everything in this foresaken city.

Thats why you need to take it apart and lube the internals regularly. Wonder why I have never broken one...

Yah, ohio basically had a blizzard the winds just weren't high enough to make it one, we got 16-20'' in 2 days it was pretty crazy, damn near impossible to drive and if you get on a hill and no 4-wheel drive your fucked.

We only got 4.4 inches of snow last night. It's a lot when you consider it's our first "White Christmas" since 1918. It shut down our bridges and freeway system . It's been 100 years since our city got this much snow! (South Texas)

you think if I take heavy duty construction glue it would stick back on? I can see the part that meets with the handle fits like a puzzle, it was a clean break.

The same thing happened to me one morning, when I was going to work. Don't get a new one from the dealership either. Try Malloy Mazda or JT Imports.
