    4x4 is the cure all for any adverse weather condition. I can go like hell and you can't stop me (and I can't stop me either) :rolleyes:

    You would of loved it.

    These morons were hitting their brakes so hard they would lock them up and then slide with the grade of the road into the curbs. I'm talking people doing 5mph but with no idea how to use the stoppy pedal in ice.

    I'd just barely tap my brakes and be fine.

    The other fun thing to watch was people going downhill hitting their brakes. Then they start sliding....no shit..... then slam on them even harder and go even more out of control.

    People are just clueless.

    Watched a guy last week nearly ass pound a row of cars. we had an inch of snow and everyone panicked and left for home. The conditions were just right that the snow packed and melted, then froze almost instantly . The roads were 100% ice. i passed him (going the other way) and he was probably doing 35-40 mph. I kept and eye on my mirror to see the carnage. He hit his brakes in an "oh shit" manner and then headed for the ditch because he couldn't stop. I was laughing pretty good after that.

    Everyone left work here the other day at 12pm. Just so happens every single company and school also chose 12pm to go home.

    I was LMAO when people were calling the 4 of us that stayed telling us how horrible it was out and that it took them 3-4 hrs to get home. I left at 4 and was home super quick because the roads were clear of the idiots by then.

    The next day come 8am only me and a guy from PA were here. Everyone came in late and guess what - same shit as the day before going home. Every tard in the world decided to go in at 9-10am so these idiots sat for another 3-4hrs in traffic.

    Common sense is no longer common.

    If it's snowing and I know it I go in early and leave late.

    :thumbsup: I've been following that principle my whole time up here. The whole late reporting and early release is just another way of herding the sheople. Seems like common sense .... Oh yeah you covered that. ;)

    Yup, the tailight is broken, bumper looks like an accordion and the very back edge of the box is crunched, the front bumper is dented and thats it. our suv has a little bumper damage and the durango has a little more serious body damage but hte two ladies inside weren't hurt at all

    :wave:

    no friend of mine.

    nothing will save your ass on ice 100% of the time.

    that's because everyone believes that antilock brakes will save them when in fact they make vehicles more prone to slide if the abs engages on ice.
