Snow Blindness

**Milk Shake** · 12-07-2005, 06:59 PM

You were right, BlackHemiMag, getting a white car right before winter may not have been the best idea. We got about 2 inches of snow here over the weekend and I've been run off the road twice in my cool vanilla RT since. I have to assume they just don't see me. It can't possibly by my driving skills

2"? You must be near the Il / WI border... way down South here in Joliet we hardly got a dusting! Be careful out there!

We had a good foot this past week...and the temperature dropped to -18C or roughly -4F....roads are pretty sucky at the intersections sheet of ice. The magnum handles like a dream in snow and on ice! I know some drivers have almost hit our Magnum driving to fast into the intersections or around the corners.

Just yesterday a nice semi-transport was tailgating and flashing his lights at me on the highway with my family and the roads were not great, but the AWD Magnum was like on rails. He finally passed me on the highway flying and the next few kilometers I catch up to him....he is waving me down as he lost control of his truck around a corner and into the river! I stopped to see if he was okay, and then called the RCMP to get some help. reported him for tailgating, speeding and dangerous driving and he was trying to deny it but the RCMP could tell by the skid marks he was flying! I was just glad he did not involve anyone else in this incident!

Milkshake your killing me, don't set me up for sacasm, I get torn between saying something and it not being sporting to take the easy shots. Maybe Eric can hook up some neon around the outside of your car for you, we can just say its for Christmas decoration, wink, wink!

Way to go. I hope they threw the book at him. The days of the professional truck drivers appear to be gone forever. Did you hear about the East Indians here in Calgary who were selling truckers licences and the medicals that go along with it? There may be hundreds of truckers on the road throughout Canada who are not qualified because of these jerks.

I'll put a big frickin Glowing Nose on the front of her car and call it a Rudluph.

Better yet how about a BFG and she could just Blast the A's away.
( if you dont know what a BFG is see DOOM)

I hate IL have i said that before. People just don't take driving seriously enough. Yea we have fun with our car's but never do we do it when we know someone could get hurt.
