So I'm walking my dog this morning, and you know the roads are shitty due to the epic snow and ice. Well, we're walking around a corner, low and behold some jackass is finding out he can't drive in this shit for some reason because he starts fishtailin back and forth. It doesn't take long for the car to get out of control and start coming straight at me and my dog, so we run in the grass away from the road. Car jumps the curb, takes out a small tree (like a sapling), and then keeps on going down the road.


Awesome.

but did you give them the bird?

where is this epic snow and ice you are referring to?

Was it an SUV? Since moving from the northeast, I've found that in the south, a majority of cars driving like abnormally large jackasses are SUVs. They have some stupid "DERP, I'M IN AN SUV, NO NEED TO CHANGE MY DRIVING HABITS IN THE ICE!" state of mind.

We saw a nasty wreck this morning. I hope no dogs were involved

More than half the vehicles that I saw off the road or in accidents this morning were either pickup trucks or SUVs.

pickup trucks are harder to drive in weather like this than most people think. Unless you are driving around in 4wd, your power is going to the lightest end of the truck... spinning out is very common. I can't tell you how many people I've let drive my truck who have gotten squirrelly with it, even in just drizzle. I went to go get some sandbags yesterday for this winter for my truck, but everything they had at Home depot was already frozen. So I just made sure I had a full tank of gas, and will just keep it slow

RWD sucks in the snow . . . it sucks more if you're stupid.

12/16/2010 9:22:28 AM

yeah, I don't have to leave for work until 1245 so I'll be fine... probably just leave about 10 minutes early to make sure I can take my time (I am a believer of leaving early and taking my time over leaving late and speeding/getting pissed off when every light doesn't work for me)

12/16/2010 9:25:25 AM

See, the thing is, it's not actually that bad out there. I have an RWD car and, other than the tail getting a bit out of line on two icy/non-plowed neighborhood hills (and blowing a stop sign at the end of the driveway into work because the downhill was a sheet of ice) and I was fine. The key is, as you said, taking it slow.

Though the fellow I ended up behind who was doing 30 MPH in the fast lane of I-40 was pissing me off, I must say.

More than half the vehicles I see on a daily basis on I-40 are either pickup trucks or SUVs.
