I saw three Twins on my drive home today. Very unusual, especially in the winter. It was wet and snowing lightly but, as far as I know, none of us crashed.

I think I'll try to crash on the way to work tomorrow.

If you don't try crashing everyday, you're not driving it correctly.

Abject failure. Did not crash.

On the positive side, I did pass a cop while, er, um, "driving briskly" in the snow and he let me be.

Have driven 1,800 miles the past three weeks... Have not managed to crash yet... Is it because I have an auto?

Debating whether to take it to the dealer and have them check it out...

Dodged lots and lots of dodgy potholes today, I didn't crash. I can't say the same for my car's poor suspension.

Three in one day? In London? I don't see three in a month in the south part of the city.

Well it wasn't all at once. But it is only an 11km drive.

Totally off topic, but a blue FR-S parked adjacent to me in the LCBO parking lot this morning and a woman in her 50s got out. I thought to myself "that's odd". Then I remembered that I'm in my 50s too. Wouldn't have been any different than my wife driving my car.

As far as I could tell, the woman in the LCBO parking lot hadn't crashed either. (Back on topic ).
