I don't suppose it would dawn on those drivers to turn their wheel into the curb to stop/slow them down on a hill like that.


That's what I was thinking, They all turned their wheels away from the curb.

The one van or suv in the last film had the car stopped but then tried to move it. Doh!

Hahahahahaha.

Oh my god, that was painful to watch.

I would crack the chits something fierce if one of those knob-ends pin-balled into my car!

Of course, I garage my car in good weather so I doubt I'd have it on the street in a blizzard.  :lol

Every Golly-geen winter here everybody forgets how to drive in the winter.  The first snow is like disaster city.  I'm amazed hows many more 4x4 vehicles I see in the ditch over just regular cars because people think its made for that.  If you want to drive the speed limit in the left snow covered lane, be my guest.  But stay away from me and I'll enjoy my lower insurance rates.

I drove 4 1/2 hours last night (3 hour normal drive) on a trip and I eventually got off the interstate because of idiot drivers and the semis that speed past you kicking up snow, which was like hitting a wall of white fog 4 feet from your hood.

It's this time of year I pitty those in law enforcement.

ready for this weekend? :D lol

I don't know if you guys are expecting the same as Milw, but we got  8-14 tonight, and more on sunday coming supposedly.

I heard 5-8 tonight and 2-3 tomorrow.  I didn't live down here last year and remember how much snow the south got from my sister who lives here.  Looks like its gonna be 2007-2008 all over again!

We use combo tyres, best of both worlds. Except on wet asphalt where they are too soft.
