Re: Crazy Drivers in East Coast

["Adam Lindsay" <adam@mindex.com>]

Yesterday I got passed by a lady in a Jeep Cheroke and then 2miles up the
road she wiped out and got stuck. I pulled up next to her and asked if she
was okay, once she said yes, I said good, now your fast driving can get ya
to mobil which was like 100ft away. I drove off cause I don't pick up
strangers. Plus she really deserved it.

Might I add to facts.
1) I live in Rochester, NY 60miles west of buffalo and well I think we are
approching 40" of snow after last nights falling.
2) Run Blizzak MZ-02 195/60/15 on the stock rims of my JettaGLX and well
havn't gotten stuck yet and it kicks ass. My only complaint is that I have
to do donuts in reverse cause it is a front wheel drive car.
