It seems that whenever people see my M3 out driving in the snow, they feel the need to go ahead and prove that their cars must be better in the snow. In particular, I'm getting REALLY sick of getting tail-gated by Toyotas. (I've had FOUR on my ass thus far, including one fuckwit who decided that it'd be a great idea to pass me over the double yellow and then almost had a healthy head on incident. Oh yeah, and then, just to show me how pissed off he was because I'd held him up, he then decided to STOP in the middle of the road.) Sure I could drive faster, but the speed limit seems like a pretty good snow speed.

Gah.

I thought it used to be the law that you had to SLOW down in bad weather. Anyway, I hate those schmucks who drive like a**holes when the weather is treacherous. WHAT are they trying to prove? That they're bigger idiots than everyone else? Done.

A case in point from WTOP News:

"Virginia Department of Transportation spokeswoman Tina Bundy says a plow was clearing the northbound lanes of I-95 when cars started going around it and quickly pulling in front of it. The driver lost control and the plow overturned. Bundy says vehicles tried to go around the overturned plow but lost control, causing multiple crashes."

All of you seemed to have such high opinions of him I thought that I must have been wrong about him. Maybe not. :dunno:

Most people here were driving more slowly than I was in the snow. :paranoid:

Except for thinking that his car sounded great whenever I saw (heard it) I didn't really know him until he showed up to help out with my suspension. Anyone willing to go hours out of their way to help work on someone's car that they hardly know is alright in my book.

And the fact that he may have contributed to our rushing through the show is prolly something I should be thanking him for....
