1. The holidays are over; we have nothing left to look forward to.
2. The roads are unpredictable and dangerous.
3. The state proves it doesn’t know what to use our tax money for by allowing number 2 above to remain constant.
4. Bad drivers come out of the woodwork on aforementioned road conditions, and no, driving extra slow doesn’t make you a better driver. Seventeen miles per hour in a fifty zone is typically only safe for a bicyclist. And yet you still seem to find your way into the ditch.
5. People who own large trucks seem to think they have immunity to icy roads. No matter how many drive wheels you have, you still only have four brakes.
6. You have to get up earlier for work, even when the sun takes its time rising. The drive to works takes nearly double what it normally would, and chances are your doors are frozen closed to begin with.
7. The Mustang has to stay in the garage for at least two more months.

That’s about all I can think of right now. Feel free to contribute. :SNSign:

And warming up the car before you take off wastes gas, as if we need to throw more money out the window for gas costs.

Hope to God our plans go through and we move away from this crap this year. I want this to be my last northeast winter!

2. Shoveling snow F***'n sucks!!!

Winter can be kinda fun.

The roads are so cold tires don't grab and you can have some fun getting it sideways into 4th gear if you are careful and don't overdo it.


The ricers really back down from a 60MPH downshift and fishtail

put mine in the median of I-76 here in NE Ohio the other week....what a PITA

had to pay off the tow truck to take it back to the house..

The car was 98% fine, since the trooper scuffed up the hood trying to push it towards the road.....It all buffed out
