Anybody in the San Antonio area experience the crazy night and morning? Not sure about other parts of Texas, but we're not used to snow down here (luckily I've lived with snow when stationed in New Mexico and Japan). Heard all kind of things about cars being abandoned on the road, major accidents, and people spinning out of control. Hope everybody is okay....safety first! Might as well stay home and smoke a cigar rather than tempt fate out there

Hope everyone is okay down there, don't think there's been ice/snow that far south in Texas since ice storm of '96.
ha!!
I think it just has something to do with Texans being used to driving 90 everywhere they go. Those pickups prob. are not all 4wd either, which means rear wheel drive. I know I was all over the place in my work veh. H3LL my truck was all over the place when the 4wd wasn't on. I'm guessing your car is front whell drive Kuzi which makes a huge difference even in a little bit of snow. Like you said you routinely drive in it and they don't so I'm sure that's a big part of it as well.
really i just wanted to get a few texans a bruise to the ego.
kinda like:
"look at me!! im messin with Texas!!"
LOL nice one Kuzi but are you sure you want to mess with Texans? They carry shotguns in the racks of those pickups you were just making fun of!!!
The problem is that most idiots down here that have AWD pickups think, "Everyone else is creeping along on the ice at 20mph, but screw that, I've got a 4x4 and I can go 50 on this sh*t." But they fail to realize that they may be able to get going, but they can't stop any better than anyone else when the entire street looks like a skating rink.
it really is about what you are used to though. id like to see some of the people up north here handle 130 in the shade...
Oh ya and the same guys you are talking about down there that are zooming by do the same thing here and end up in the same place.....ditches & hospitals. Just as dangerious no matter where you are.
DAMN YANKEES?!?
