Made It Through The Ice Rain

Despite numerous crashes in the past, I made it home and back again through the nasty weather we've been having.

I've been driving for about 13 years now, and have owned 4 different cars over that time. I've been in the ditch with the first three cars, totaling the first in icy conditions when I was 18 or 19. I've also had an accident with my current car a few years ago, but it was a rainy day in the summer and a rear-ender, not a snowy ditch tour. Needless to say, my nickname with the family back home is "Crash".

Fortunately, no one ever has been hurt from my accidents. Even the first one where I totaled my car (ah Popemobile, how I miss you so) I still walked away from it and got a ride into my work at the gas station while my parents got the tractor and towed the wreck home. To be fair, when I say totaled I mean it could no longer drive on the road because the frame was bent since I hit a tree sideways. It could still move under its own power and my uncle used it in a crash derby a few weeks later. Sniff, sniff, I never got to really say goodbye.

Regardless, due to my experiences with winter and ditch explorations (you bet your ass I have CAA membership and a cell phone) I've become rather proficient at navigating snow and ice covered roads. Need any advice? Call me.
