It's freezing rain here right now, so all the idiots are out with their Camaros trying to impress their girls...

HAMSTER SNOW! Man, I do NOT miss driving through hamster snow. And the hamster slush -- the WORST. At this moment, I envy you not.

It never ceases to amaze me how in only 4 or 5 short months of non winter drivng people are around here suddenly go from knowing what they are doing on ice and snow to driving like they were just dropped in from Hawaii or something. How quickly they forget.

When I lived in Fairbanks, nearly everyone drove an suv out of necessity, however, the type driver you just described was known as a "snow-butt" and, yes, they think because they have an suv/4x4 they are invincible. Go slowly, stay in the right lane and keep repeating to yourself, "The brakes are not my friend."

Man, I hate that shit. I drive a small 18 year old car with damn 14 inch tires, and people in their gigantic SUVs get mad at me because, shockingly enough, the Ghetto Cruiser isn't so great at handling inclement weather. Fucking DUH. And locally, we actually had some dumbass write a letter to the editor of our newspaper about how people should drive 5-10 mph over the speed limit because apparently "you have to be going 15 over to get stopped" -- and if you aren't willing to go 5-10 over, then you should GET OFF THE ROAD. It was in caps exactly like that, too! Can I just say Hell to the No? That 15mph over thing is total BULLSHIT, the speed limit is the LIMIT rather than the MINIMUM. Argh. I also hate when I am trying to pull the Ghetto Cruiser out of a parking spot at the store, and I can't see to pull out because gigantic fucking SUVs are blocking the way. Argh! Congratulations, you are the lucky recipient of a months' worth of my road rage.

Screw the new brakes. You need an eject button.
