You wouldn't believe the shit I drive through to go fishing in the winter. People say no fish is worth risking your life for, but those people are pussies who don't have fish in the freezer.

Ahhh winter steelhead, it's probably what killed @puppylove_sugarsteel

I don't claim to be good, but I do it a lot and have never had an accident.

If I'm going to break trail in deep snow, and have to chain up (I'm two miles up a steep hill from where they plow), I do get to get to be a little more like Mario Andretti. It's fun being chained up.

I used to be a Level III, but living in Bellevue and WFH made me soft.

But that’s about to change.

I drove a Uhaul truck towing a car trailer from Tennessee to Seattle back in 2007. Took the Oregon trail and came to a pass with the signs out saying chains were required. I stopped at Les Shaub to buy some chains and asked the guy if I needed them on the trailer as well. He said yes. So I chain up, white knuckle it over the pass and pull over to take the chains off only to find the trailer chain was wrapped around the axle. That was a fun 45 minutes laying in wet snow on the shoulder of the interstate getting that unfucked.

My first tim driving a car was in the snow when I was 12. 89 full size bronco. The butch dad let me drive all the way down from whisky dick to ellensburg. It was pretty easy without a bunch of dumbucks on the road next to me. Btw referring to Ellensburg, CA. Not a very well-known town!

Slow and steady in the snow - one time in Lynnwood me and a friend were in my 4x4 SUV making a beer run. He says lucky I have a 4x4 can go anywhere in the snow. I slam on the breaks and explain to him a 4x4 slides off the road just like any other vehicle. and proved it. No traffic was the only reason I did it

Lucky there were no ditches just curbs - then I explained a 4x4 can get you out of trouble once you are in it. took off nice and went slow and steady

You lying fuck, CB. You've never left the sunny, dry So Cal pavement heading towards your smoggy little, studio apartment in Fontana.

Decades of skiing, I feel I can drive on anything but black ice.

Level 3 in snow, level 2 on ice. Not quite a Finnish driver yet.
