I can add, "Driving sideways at 60 MPH on the highway" to my list of life experiences after today...
Thanks snow. Thank you so much for enriching my life.
Been a while since my heart has leapt like that.:shock:
the fuck were you doing driving fast on snow?
Speed limit on the highway is 65 and I was just entering the highway via a portage road so I had to speed up from about 35-40 MPH and interject myself into traffic traveling about 55-70 MPH already on the highway.
I slowed down like a grandpa to about 50 once I was in traffic, it was just the initial merge onto the highway while it was blizzarding that nearly sent me to my snowy doom.

Yeah... you don't drive 50 when the highway is covered in snow either.
Going the normal speed limit or faster is the norm in Alaska with these kind of conditions. I was being reserved at 50MPH. Also, I have been driving in this shit since I was like 14.

Stupid question but did you atleast have proper treads and shit then? My experience with snow has been on all weather tires in areas where chains are not permitted.

Oh lets see:
1. Everyone else was doing it
2. My years of experience afford me the privilege of acting like a goddamn retard.
Fucking retard.

I have all weather tires and 4 wheel drive. I don't use studs. I think the fact that I was able to recover without cartwheeling into a ditch and still merge without slowing down speaks volumes for me.

So does the fact you were in that situation to begin with....

god fucking christ, what the hell is wrong with you? You have all weather tires, 4 wheel drive, and however many years of experience under your belt and you still almost crashed.
next you'll tell us you had an infallible robot autopilot and you still managed to fuck up and almost kill a bunch of people.

I don't think I've seen anyone in Michigan go slower than the speed limit in snowy conditions on a highway beyond the first week of snow, unless it's a whiteout.
Boy it's going to be fun going back to Michigan after being in California, because not only will I have to remember how to drive on snow, but I'll have to do it using my mother's preferred mode of transit, a giant almost-a-van-almost-an-SUV with terrible visibility and 2wd.
Or at least I'm assuming that's what her new car is, considering every time I come home it seems she's leased something uglier, heavier, and with tinier windows than the last time.

You and your damn ideas that make sense, stop making me even more annoyed at my upcoming almost certain to be delayed 10 extra hours flight out there, subsequent awkward week wherein my mother is likely to go apeshit about nothing in particular at least once a day simply because she has people there to listen to her go apeshit, and then another ridiculously long flight back.
Maybe next year I'll try to see if I can just telecommute to Christmas dinner or something.

you should take charge of the household and tell your mom to get a grip
with your arms impressively crossed and your brow furrowed
and then go out and kill an elk or whatever the fuck large animal they have in the Midwest

Yeah that's what my Dad tried, didn't take.
Luckily I get to dodge back out after a week without having to involve costly lawyers.

the only option now is to set up a cardboard cutout of yourself when your mom's not looking and sneak out the back to winch a car out of a lake or whatever it is you people do for entertainment

Reenacting the last shot to Psycho is the only solace in Flint, MI.
You can do everything right and still have accidents metal :P

Re-reading that it seemed a bit snarky on my part.I don't want to be thought of as a whiney little bitch because I try to overly defend myself. So I'll just leave it at this
Oh god, you'll be in smellshot of Toledo. You poor sod.
You think Toledo is bad?
Flint is a town that has a movie specifically about how shit it is.
Flint is a town where the SimCity 2000 scenario for it is, "Jesus Christ, it's 1980 and not a single person in your city has a job anymore, fix it!" Depressingly, this scenario was not only accurate, but 30 years later, it's still accurate.
Flint is a town that has been just as riddled with crime as Detroit, but lacks the natural splendor and hope that brought that city Robocop.
Toldeo is just a boring, depressing, horrible shithole. Flint is all that and much worse.
According to the FBI, Flint has one of the highest crime rates in Michigan (5538 incidents/100,000 residents). In the 1980s and 90's Flint was nicknamed the murder capital of the U.S.

I remember we looked at some sort of post NBA championship riot survey in sociology. There was always at least one rape in Detroit every year.

I don't have any, you fucking dweeb. They ran out back in May and I haven't had health insurance since then.

Damn, I was going to go to bed on that note too... If i did it would look like you had succeeded.
Oh what a conundrum.
just stay in Cali
No, you're just acting like you're keeping me riled up.
The truth is that you're not important. Go to bed you ugly whore.
I'm honestly not trying to rile you up. I just don't want to seem like a pussy.

I don't buy it.
I would have bought, "What's a whorehouse?" or, "What's a tijuana?". Better luck next time.

If it does, it's only because Detroit is bigger.
