drive safely..

Weird thing is, I had a dream about sliding down a hill and my VSA was
going crazy.. at least in my dream I was able to make a hard right
and slide to a stop..

I guess God was warning me or something.. but I went into the ditch





I guess I trusted the traction control too much... but the ice under the snow
just didn't let my car stop

Good thing its a small ditch and I didn't hit anything

I'm waiting for the towing people to come pull me out of the
mud..

Hope everybody drives safely!!

Well luckily there was no damage.

Do you have blue tint on your fogs or is it just the lighting in your pics that is making them look blue?

We had freezing rain on Sunday here in Michigan. So far my PX4 all seasons have done a excellent job in the snow, but Sunday night I almost slid into the guard rail on a small bridge as the whole thing was covered in black ice. Having your car slide sideways is an interesting experience; luckily there was snow pile up on the edge of the road before the guard rail, and as soon as my tires hit that I stopped cold.

Getting a lot of snow here in Seattle/Federal Way area too. Sigh of relief for not hitting anything though, imagine how much of a headache that would have been

CJAMS can probably chime in, but its a real mess so no work today. Woot!

Isn't it fun? It's so cold outside, wish I had heated seats! They called school out late (5 minutes before class) so around 100 high school students rushed to their cars to leave. There was only one fender bender that I saw, which is a miracle by the way everyone was driving.

Glad to see nothing happened to the TSX, and you're okay!

It snowed 3~4" in oregon too. I've been drifting with my tsx. Tires are wearing out and hard to get traction. I rather turned VSA off to gain traction off the start from stop.

Are you in Portland? I think we ended up with a bit more snow across the river in Vancouver. Nasty outside… sounds fun though.

Haha. I was the leading car going my direction. about 10mph for 25 minutes to go 2.5 miles... which was probably excessive.

that's awesome. I can't believe I meet another boilermaker on here. I graduated in '05. When did you? Are you still in Indiana?

^^Not to sound gay there but it's pretty cool to meet another person in the cornland of Indiana that's into modding the TSX
