Holy Shit.... Scary Story

well i was getting ready to go to work this morning and pulled out my car. put the ebrake on (like always) and shut the garage door and woke up the woman. then walked out the steps and fell on my ass (holy shit it was slippery) and i was like WHERE THE HELL IS MY CAR. turns out it was in the middle of the street it slid down the drive way and into the middle of the street. holy shit i was scared as hell. moral of the story is don't go out today stay in. i took the day off of work.

Woke up this morning and Weather Channel showed 32 deg in my town. Average low temp here in December is 38 (average December high is 69). Put on driving gloves to walk the dog.

its fun giving a hard time...

if it makes you feel better:

I used to have an rsx-s, and my friend had a very steep driveway. One day I parked at the top, and didnt fully engage the parking brake. I came outside 4 hours later to find my car in the middle the of the street entirely blocking traffic, a mere 2 feet away frmo smashing through a neighbors wooden fence

welcome to the club

Wow good thing no one got hurt... I was in BFE, Michigan (Pinckney to be exact) for the holiday, and on the morning of the 26th, I had the same problem. Went out to drive to Ann Arbor, and the roads were one big ice rink. Slowly and steadily, we got where we were going safely (the main roads were partially clear of ice), but saw a lot of idiots sliding all over the place. Seems people think a 4WD truck is immune to ice... F'in idiots.
