The girlfriend and I were checking those out a few minutes ago. I can't believe half those drivers...
The one Volvo X90 SUV was just insane. It looked like he thought he could save it numerous times but just made it worse. Ended up hitting like 4 cars, 2 poles, and went over the curb a handful of times.
There was a Ford Focus ZX3 that was lodged up on a curb today when I left home to do some errands and grab lunch. It's front left wheel was wedged in the wheel well and looked like the front axle was broken. Car was left unattended with the hazards on. Went by after I finished my stuff about 45min later and it was still there with the blinkers going and nobody around.
Crazy...

On my ventures out this evening to get something to eat, I saw a lot of abandoned cars on the side of the road. This had me thinking "wtf" as I drove up the same hill as these "stranded" cars with no problems. People in this town are fricken weenies.
don't understand why if ya know snow/ice is coming.. why wouldn't you prepare for it. save yourself the trouble of collision deductables and just go out get studded tires and chains. that's what i did. went to the used tire place paid $200 for a set of studded tires w/steel wheels. haven't slid since. if the snow gets really deep then i just pull out my old chains. people can be so stupid
This is what I've been driving in the snow
And countless people have been like "wow thats the perfect snow vehicle" but anyone who is driving a 4x4 with big tires knows, its actually worse than a honda or something by far, because of the wide tires and weight distribution. Sure it grabs traction fine, but doesn't stop worth beans. I figure if I can drive in this thing, people should be able to navigate in front wheel drive or all wheel drive cars with skinny tires just fine.
My thoughts are the same, if you can't drive in it, don't. If you do drive in it, pretend there are eggshells under your gas and brake pedals, and don't panic. If you just baby it around, it's not that bad.

I live just off I5, exit 3. Just up the road from FAST Specialties and All Ford Performance.
