I was driving my 550 to work on sunday as slow as possible when some douchebag in a Range Rover was speeding past everyone. He ended up crashing on a snow embankment a few miles down the road.

Sunday morning was the day after the storm. BMW RWD + Snow = WTF.

None this year but last year a slow shift into 2nd with snowy roads and I slid for at least 200 feet dodging cars and telephone poles. Some how I was able to get the car to spin around and into a snow bank without hitting anyone. That sucked!!
Summer tires plus snowy roads is a deadly combo.

Shifted in 2 second @ 8k on 17 leaveing the Dunkin donuts by Giants stadium.
S fishtailed, I corrected it, then lsd kicked in (theres a serious lsd delay in the S any1 notice that) and made me do a complete 180 faceing oncomming traffic.

I mashed the breaks and ended up faceing the wrong way a foot away from the concreate barrier while traffic from the jets game flew by me.

Whats funny is the whole time my freind in the passenger seat was silent. Then after 30 seconds of sitting in the stalled out car she SCREAMES lol
