HAHA seen that many times always gets a good laugh, stupid person in the SUV kept gassing it which i have no clue why. Problem is that street is Very steep and it's pretty much ice, need studded tires in that area.

That was just this last winter in Portland (I think, maybe Seattle). It sucks when there is ice all over the road. Makes driving suck.

Yeah it said it was because the storm was so freak that no one had time to put chains or snow tires on. Man that sucks for you folks up north, I do not envy yall.

Good snowtire would do a really good job.

Ice driving is fun. What's fun even more is ice under the snow. You have no idea where the ice patches. You know it is comming but have no idea where and when. It is FUN.

It is stupid to go on the road with steep like that on the freezing rain. There is no way you can stop.

I love that video, I get a kick out of it every time I've seen it.

zozo is right, with those conditions you're only going to stop with a studded tire or chains. I don't even think a snow tire would help you there. I think the guy who kept gasing it either was drunk or got knocked out--there's just no other explanation for me.

I miss true winter driving.
