Next big storm I'm going to take my son out so he can understand how the car behaves on the slippery stuff, I asked him last time but he declined. I think it is good to learn so you can be prepared when you encounter it in the future.

 

Definitely. Cars are all different so that is a very good idea.
I had a go-cart when I was 14 and used to build a track in the snow and ice in our and the neighbor's driveway and it taught me how to deal with understeer and oversteer.

 

That is awesome Rob, especially for a 14 year old, very cool !

 

Today I seen some Subaru Tug of War videos, pretty cool

 

Today I got my hairs cut and I went to the car wash and I'm sure you all will be shocked to hear that it was closed. I did notice that they have put new doors on it. So now when I am looking at the closed doors they are brand new.

 

My dad did the same and it has served me well. I also know that being on the skid pad with the S was critical to my understanding of how the car behaved in the wet. The instructor told me to drive in a circle and keep increasing my speed until I started to spin out. He also told me he’d pull the ebrake if I didn’t keep speeding up. I was terrified but once I got a better feel for things it was actually more fun than being on the track.

 

Today some maniac in a Cadillac suv passed me in a 40 m.p.h. no passing zone doing well over 100m.p.h. Friggin’idiot
And I went to the car wash ain’t going there anymore.

 

You had a smart father, that is cool being on a skidpad. Nice

 

WTF is wrong with people? I’ve noticed in the last week or so I’ve encountered some real asshats. Almost got hit when someone failed to do a shoulder check the other day. And it’s like no one understands that DRLs don’t turn your taillights on…? I wonder if people just see their dash lit up and think they’re good to go.

 

Today I did not remember to start the previous post with “Today…”
