I know for a fact that European sport sedans sporting 18" or 19" wheels and shod with summer performance tires are a really bad combo in GE when it snows. But apparently not everyone knows this. And in a way I am thankful for this. Really quite entertaining to watch. We really do have a lot of hills in this town. Big Grin

Roosevelt Road was a freakin' parking lot about an hour ago....I can't believe people don't know how to drive in Snow. People, it is real easy, drive slower and you won't skid into curbs, the car in front of you, mailboxes, etc.

I know it is a hard concept, but guess what, we get snow every year, nothing changes. It is just as slick this year as it was last year, and the year before. It is amazing.

Yes IMJ, but what if that driver is 16...or 15 on a learners permit. They don't know what last year was like...or the year before. What then IMJ? Big Grin

Take them to the high school parking lot and teach them how to drive on snow and ice. Don't let them loose on Roosevelt Road. Pretty easy solution if you ask me...

You tell me what to do with a 30 year old that can't park his ES 300 in the garage with the SUV without scraping both cars....... What then Potts? Wink

I wouldn't know anything about that. I do however have problems pulling my SUV into the garage while my ES 300 sits in the garage. Maybe I'll swing by your house for practice, deal?
