Default R.i.p

So last night and this morning, weve been getting some snow. Not alot, but enough too cover the ground and make things slick. Im on the highway and on my way to work. I come up over the top of this hill and i see cop lights and a semi on the side of the road. So im thinking nothing to serious cuz the semi was just sitting on the side of the road. But once i get up on the wreck a little more, i notice a red fbody sitting in the median with the front half of the car gone!!! From my view, it didnt look like anyone was hurt but that fbody was gone! then i took a look at the semi and it had a little dent in the front fender. Well theres one less fbody in this world now! And thats why mine stays in the garage most of the time.

That sucks.

I drive my 3.4L through the entire winter here in Buffalo. People look at me funny, but its better than driving a 1966 Cutlass

^Yep, if you're gonna spin, you're gonna spin. Just know how to steer your way out of it.
