It's true, massachusetts is full of s. I, however, noticed that every single time a light would turn yellow, people would keep entering the intesection until it was red (note there's a lot of traffic and people are going like 5mph). So yeah, at one light I sat there through 2 full cycles because I refused to be an and just sit in an intersection when it wasn't my turn. I'm by no means an , but there sure are a lot of em around here. |

So yeah...first major snowstorm up here in the northeast, and holy is it hilarious. I'm a lifelong new englander, and I know that while this town has a lot of college students from all over, still the majority of the population has at least lived in new england for most of their lives. Nonetheless, people DO NOT ING KNOW HOW TO DRIVE. I honestly just don't get it. We get a dusting and I swear people pull out their blindfolds, pull the e-brake, and go nuts. I live about 2.5 miles from the center of town, and I just headed up there for some coffee. While yes, we're getting slammed by snowstorm, I'm not retarded and I know how to drive so I figure no biggie. And it wasn't, driving was slow as hell cause there's a lot of traffic from campus just closing, but still, nothing terrible.
So on the way into town on Main st., it's mostly uphill. Nothing terribly steep, and most of the way there it gets a little bit steeper just before the traintracks cross the road. So as I'm getting close I'm following a schoolbus so I can't see ahead of the bus, but I notice we're going a lot slower. I think hm, it's probably just the bus is slowing down because they stop before traintracks as per state law. Not the case. There was a BMW just below the traintracks. It couldn't make it. A ing 2003 BMW, with nice tires too. And he couldn't ing make it. Bus went by him with no problem, I went by him with no problem (after coming to a complete stop at the exact same place on the hill). It was just painful to watch. He would be stopped, then just ing floor it, expecting that to work. And he'd slide down a little, then, if he was lucky, gain a little to end up where he started. Seriously, that car should be able to take this snow in stride, and he was just absolutely braindead.
He had no idea. I got to starbucks, got my coffee, and 15 minutes later I pass the same traintracks, and SUPRISE the BMW's still there :haha:. Here's the kicker, he's recruited like 3 people to help push him. Three people wearing tennis shoes trying to push a BMW up a hill in a snowstorm. Someone needs to make :crap: with a wool hat on it. We need a whole series of :crap:s for various circumstances.
So yeah, anyone else getting hit by this storm?
ninja: you autoformatting, I'll use all caps in my title if I want to :toothless |

was the BMW AWD or RWD? RWD cars + snow = no fun. well, depending on how you look at it. personally i always felt like i was going to die when i was in a RWD car during snow/ice/rain.
i think people everywhere forget how to drive the first time the winter weather hits. a few years ago here in Wisconsin we had a pretty bad ice storm on Thanksgiving, and they had reported at least 80 accidents along the stretch of highway between Milwaukee and Appleton. how difficult is it to just ing SLOW DOWN and be careful? drives me crazy. i'm just sooo glad i don't really have to use the freeway anymore. |

| I only had one experience driving in the snow and it sucked major ass. I had to drive an acquaintance from the Valley to Truckee, a small town near the California/Nevada border. It was basically a 4 hour drive north through Sacramento/Roseville, up the Sierras around March of this year. I was driving a 1999 Honda Civic and the minute we gained considerable altitude, the roads were slick with ice, and in some areas, powdered with snow. Add to the fact that I had to deal with the meanest solar glare through that windshield I have ever seen, and the windshield was already dirty from before. Having to wind up narrow roads hundreds of feet up, half-blind, made for one of the scariest driving conditions I ever dealt with. I'm glad the trip back was loads easier. |
