Default Any survivors from the snow storm ??

I swear, its now 3 in the morn and i just got home. I've been in this whole storm the whole day (since it started til it finshed). I got stuck 4 times, and luckily my baby had some ***** to make it through it all. With some exhuast rubbing, tires spinnin, car sliding, and no snow brush. Me and my baby still made it out alive. All the streets are still bad even the e-ways at this moment. It sux seeing all these expensive nice cars on the sides of the e-way stuck with no other solution but to wait or leave it there. Well now that we know winter is officially here, only thing i can tell you guys is to be cerr'ful.

took me an hour exactly to get home yesterday, usually it's only about 25 minutes...

my only complaint is the SUV's with their 4x4 or AWD.. they think they can just plow thru the roads like its a nice sunny summer day or something - absolutely no consideration for the other cars on the road.

I died, but I came back. Nobody above or below wants me.

I made the 45 minute trip home in about 1 hour 40.
My boss let me split 30 minutes early to avoid some of the
traffic.

Too many retards out there...the drive in this morning was
pretty bad too.

I got a kick out of watching $60,000-80,000 cars get stuck on the roads yesterday. Saw a Mecerdes and a new M3 stranded. It took 2.5 hours to get home yesterday but had very little trouble getting my $17,000 car through the snow. Lot of people say the potenzas suck but they got me home safely without incident. Then again theres a lot of people who can't drive for sh*t in bad weather even with the best snow tires. Aight bye

our cars do really good in the snow! i was in it playing for about 3 hours last night!!

It was a little tough to get going but once i had some momentum, the car tracks pretty well. Im lowered so i was scraping off the snow alot but it still did great.

I really miss my truck, it was lifted and 4WD so it went through everything. oh well.

At that point I would have just walked.

I considered walking to the grocery store last night so I could make dinner.

But we drove out of lazyness.

I left at 3pm and got home at 6:30. Freakin' semis were getting stuck all over town. I-35 which runs through downtown had people literally running out of gas and getting stuck. It was ridiculous.

But the box prevailed. Didn't get stuck once. And yeah there was a guy in an M3 completely buried. You could tell the rest of the week he was billy bad-a@@... today, just that shmuck slowing down traffic.

I think i had the worst focken luck. So everybody heard about that plane crahsing at midway right? Well i was like on the same dam street about 5 min after it happened and they immediatley closed down the roads and it was snowing really bad. so i bust a u turn to get out of traffic and i get pulled over by 5-0. they thought i was a little tipsy cause i was tired and my eyes were all red cause i hadnt slept for 20 hours and the officer says my eyes are glassy. well, i do use contact you dumb butt. anyway, its snowin, its cold, the pig makes me get outta da car and take a sobriety test, in which i of course passed, and begins to illegally search my car. i'm freakin freezing and he is having the time of his life searching my car for nothing. be careful people. COPS LOVE given out tickets when its cold because they get to sit in there cars and be warm. also, they WILL take u in for the dumbest sh*t, so they could sit in the station, nice and warm, doing unneccessary paperwork. Be careful and safety first!!
