Got into the 40s here in Texas and was misting rain. I had to drive 1mi to work in these near blizzard conditions. Tires were even less grippy than usual - Kumho Solus that came with the car when I bought it.
Made it back home. Did not crash. |

Pretty sure he was being facetious. Oh I hope he was being facetious.

Several many years ago i flew in to the old Dallas air port to find about 3-4 inches of snow on the ground. Hertz lady said they were not renting any cars because of the extreme conditions. I asked to talk to the manager. I explained that i just came from Wisconsin with 3-4 feet of snow and hardly could find any on the ground there. He did rent me a car.
Well he was right, hardly a car on the road. They were all in the ditch. |

Took the car out for a final back road drive on road 509 near sharbot lake before snow season. What a gorgeous stretch of road. I heard the twang hitting the rear bump stops a few times, but did not crash.
I did however bottom out on a huge ass speedbump this morning : ( doing 5-10km. That made me hurt inside. When I saw this sign I knew it was going to be good. |

Yes, know the area well. Wife and I have ridden those roads many times. Lots of fun little roads that most people don't know about. However, the O.P.P. do pay attention to them.

Car lost power and engine cut off while I was in the passing lane on my interstate going ~80 MPH. Had to coast across 5 lanes to the right shoulder before the car slowed to a stop.
Did not crash. Did get honked at. A lot. I happened to roll to a stop right behind a patrol officer that was in the process of pulling someone over. The officer finished up and gave me cover while I called a tow. Thanks, UHP! |
