Snow Day

I took the lady out in the snow today. Yes you heard me right... Snow, East Coast, Road Salt. I have said it before and I will say it again... my 911 is NOT a garage queen. The car is meant to be driven no matter what the conditions.

She handled very well. I can't believe how poor people around the DC/Baltimore area drive when snow shows up. I saw in a 40 mile ride today at least 8 wrecks on the highway. Not just cars stopped, but full on mangled cars/trucks/SUV/trailers. BTW... there was only water on the ground at that time... ZERO snow, ZERO slush, ZERO ice. Quick tip to all my fellow drivers out there... When snow is present do NOT do the following:

1. Tailgate
2. Cut people off
3. Speed/weave through traffic
4. Believe that your SUV's can drive through any conditions at 80mph
5. Drive with your lights off
6. Slam on your breaks for no reason
7. Talk on your cell phone and let your car wander

For that matter do NOT do any of these above things anytime you are driving, and let me add:

8. Speed up when you see someone with their turn signal, who is trying to get into your lane
9. Think that b/c you have a "Baby on Board" sign on your car, it excuses you from being a cautious driver.
10. Cut someone off then slow down

Oh, I could go on for days... but at the end of the day, I really shouldn't be mad at things I can't control.
