I’m going to be a stuntman.

Wow… let me start off by saying I drive a 1990 Subaru AWD GL-10. Sweet little number. However, as of yet, it doesn’t have snow tires. This will immediately be remedied.

On a return voyage from the local Walmart with my little brother, on freshly iced over roads, a van, driving in front of me, I’m assuming with snow tires, stopped almost immediately. Ahhhh….. slow down, slow down. Too icy, and although I could slow down, it wasn’t going to be slowly enough, and when I pushed on the breaks more, I just slid towards the van. So I did what Bruce Willis would do, and turned my steering wheel all the way to the right, slammed on the breaks and did a 180. Spun me right off the road in a nice safe field… where I got stuck. Luckily though some other people stopped and helped me push the car back on the road. I guess all those movies I watch come in handy after all. Scary stuff though, could of gotten my car all banged up, and I just got it out of the shop two days ago. Anyway, the moral of the story is, if ever in grave peril, spin a 180, or at the very least drive through a conveniently placed pane of safety glass.
