Is snow new to these people? *warning* rant
Some of you might have noticed it snowed and sleeted today. Apparantly, it wasn't completely clear to everyone though. I mean, most of the time when our roads turn from a black color to a bright white it means that we're having some form of slippery precipitation, but it would seem that some human beings failed to understand this. That's well and good for those first timers to the snowy season here in the Tristate area, those travelers from Florida bless you and welcome to winter... where the world turns white and the idiots come out to drive!
For the rest of the morons who have seen snow year in and year out and, better yet, have seen it's effect on the physics of driving, you'd think they'd get a clue.
This is my second full winter driving, I'm 18 years old and the consensus would generally agree that I am therefore a n00bert behind a steering wheel. Today, this n00bert drove a turbocharged FWD Honda Civic equipped with 205/45/16 Toyo Proxie4s and a tiretucking drop through 17 miles of poorly plowed ice and snow. In fact, you could go as far to say that I effectively helped plow the streets myself (hey, guys in the big dumptrucks... that would be your cue to start plowing). My car now sits in a snow covered driveway with 0 scratches, 0 curb rash, and I'd go as far to say that I never even slid out of my lane.
So, for everyone who ended up ass backwards in a guard rail, tree, field, or god forbid another car. What's your excuse? To the guy in the F-150 who blew past me today on 309, who I later passed after you kissed the inner median, what do you have to say for yourself? To the guy who crashed his gold camry this morning, did you like getting to see a picture of your stupidity displayed vividly on the news? (I laughed SO hard when I saw that by the way). To the lady in the Accord who ended up completely backwards with your ass stuck up on the hill, I hope you enjoyed blocking traffic and getting the finger from everyone who passed you.
For christs sake people, use your head out there!

Relax, bud. When the dude with a drag Honda and a boosted daily that has had fast Honda's for years AND fabs his own parts tells the new kids on the block that they're doing it wrong, it's time to step back and learn something.
