Sorry, guess I should have said "high mileage" instead of old.

Oh I've been meaning to pm you about that Memphis. If you could bring them to the Ferrari event on Friday that would be great. I should be able to get the cash for them.

There you go. That covers it better than either of the other two terms, heh.

Experience teaches you how to drive in snow/ice. My dad did give me pointers in an empty parking lot, but 30 minutes of open parking lot driving isn't going to do much for you. Why people don't realize that in snow and ice, traction is reduced, I just can't fathom.

I thought we were supposed to tail the other cars and go as fast as we could through the slush. Have I been doing it wrong all these years?

So I'm not too much of a jackass, didn't mean to imply I never bounced off a curb or two when I was a kid, either.

Called over to Firestone. Car is done. I guess I called like right after they called my mom. Waiting for her to get home so we can go over and pick it up.

also when you drive slow, big tough suv's that are better at snow than small fwd or rwd will ride your ***. you just keep going slow. Worry about your self and if possible pull over let them pass and get back on the road.

short story for experience. I was driving a couple years ago in the snow and this 4x4 chevy was riding my bumper so i pulled to the next lane with deeper snow and he started riding a bmw that was in front of me. At the next light the bmw stopped quickly to not run the red light, and BAM the chevy smashed that poor beamer :( I know if I didn't change lanes that bmw would have been me.
