Default Re: 1st Serious Freeze in Dallas

We had a couple of inches of snow here last sunday and as I was driving through my complex parking lot I noticed the big dodge ram 2500 4x4 with the lift kit had a freshly crumpled front end, bumper dangling, broken lights..... had to laugh....

The first few snows here tend to weed out the weak newbie drivers and the macho newbie urban assault vehicle drivers and the body shops love them..

As I was driving on I95 south on snow pack, a 4 runner was coming up behind at a good clip in far left lane, started to fishtail and went from rail to rail body parts flying everywhere. The rest of the pack behind him came to a stop and I had the whole highway to myself for the next 5 or so miles till I exited. He must have been going at least 60. I was doing about 35 in full control of course..
