If you don't know how to drive in the snow, please stay home.
How in the HELL do you manage to wreck a Suburban in less than 1" of snow???

I almost started a like thread... I went up to the 7-11 to get a sodie for lunch, and there was already a wreck.
Doofy people.

Oh no. Hopefully no one was hurt. That amazes me. Probably one of those who think an SUV makes them bullet proof.

Nothing to see here
Did you see me waving as you slid by on 235?

Because people have a tendancy to believe that if they're driving in an SUV - especially a 4x4 - they can drive in the smow with the same degree of impunity that they can on the 4th of July.
"It's a 4x4... it won't slide - go 55 MPH! I bet these a-holes in their Ford Focuses and Toyota Tercels wish they were as cool and prepared as I am!"

By assuming that 4 wheel drive keeps it from sliding

We had a guy in a Hummer, H2, come rolling through one of our lovely back roads a few years and several snows ago, do two 360's and a couple zigs and zags to boot, and pop watched him slide right into the ditch.
It's almost like it's slippery or something.

You can get going real well, but you're still subject to physics when trying to stop or turn a couple tons of steel. Inertia is a biatch when you're not ready for it.

Went to the Subway in LP and that intersection is gridlocked. People aren't slowing or increasing their stoppong distances. Just drivng as though it's dry pavement.

Is this the car version of ping-pong? In the smow?

When I lived in Wash. Co. near Keedysville, our house was on the corner at the bottom of a steep hill. People used to loose control quite often and would use our hedge as an emergency brake. Sort of like those emergency truck stopping hills along I-70 between Frederick and Myersville.

You mean anti-lock breaks do not alter the solid body dynamics of the local enviornment while driving?
Why did I spend the extra money on that crap then? I could have gotten the CD changer instead.

YUP. They go waaay too fast for conditions, and if their stupid ass hits my car..I am gonna be real hurt because of their stupidity. I had an SUV on my ass..actually tailgating like crazy...went around me, and slid around ahead of me..luckily noone was near and he didn't hit anyone.
