    It's fun, but don't get too cocky. You can fly off... And if there's no snow, or not much, that ice hurts....bad...

    I love the snow....I like playing in it... Driving in it (minus all the idiots out there going 5mph)... Infact last year the kid was just getting his learners permit. I had to shutdown work on Friday night... I called the kid on my way home at 11:45 pm... So we drove the city streets for about 3 hours learning how to control a truck in snow...one hill I made him climb it in 2 wheel drive to learn to feather the pedal... That was fun...:D

    You think that's bad, I'm sure you've seen the land of Lincoln speedsters.

    I have way too many memories of them......typically at stoplights/stop signs and the rear wheels just spinning at a mad pace 60's and 70's. Then, it changed to front wheels spinning madly!

    Still trying to teach my wife how to feather the throttle going up hills!

    While we are on the playing in the snow thread I drove home from Memphis with my FIL last week in a snow/ice storm. I had to do routinely break check and throttle response while driving home just so I can verify the road conditions mirror what I see! My FIL response is “do you really have to do that?” Yep!!! He’s of the nervous sort but a great FIL.

    I don't know why, but every time it looks slippery, 99 asks if it is. "I don't know but it looks like it" is my response. "Put on the brakes and see if you slide" is her response!!! :picard:

    Fun is taking your foot off the gas, the speedo goes to 0mph, but you're still keeping up with the tractor trailer beside you doing 70.
