Sounds like when I lived north of Seattle, it rarely snowed or froze but when it would it caused sheets of ice everywhere. It actually amused me seeing all the democrats cars in the ditch when I would drive past in my 4x4. I'm a native to the Rockies and no stranger to ice and snow. Go slower with more caution is the name of the game.
I have a 4wd Honda CRV, it gets up the hill in a snowstorm like a tractor, but ice, I've seen my hill so bad nobody could make it up. Luckily I'm only 1/2 mile to where it evens out, and there have been times I've had to back up, park the car on the side, and walk up hill sideways, tiny steps. Give me a good 3ft snowstorm anyday, its so pretty, but dismal gray days full of sleet and ice are no fun.
Sounds like the south, most can’t drive in snow. It brings out the crazies for sure. My husband will always have a 4x4 so we are good. My dad never missed work and drove a 70s beatle bug in the snow. It always tripped me out him in a bug on snowy roads.
We had "The Lookout" above the fairgrounds in high-school. A pretty gnarly 4x4 trail to get up there so it was always a bunch of jeeps, broncos or what have you. I'm going up to watch the demo derby for free of course... I get up to the top in my f-250 without much struggle to find everyone baffled around my brother who managed to get up there in a shitty old Chevy Cavalier.
I still wonder if he had it towed up just for the story but if he didn't that kid can drive anything anywhere. We grew up dealing with whatever transportation we could get our hands on in the worst conditions.
That’s hilarious! Too bad we can’t share pictures. That should be a meme or advertisement for that car. We don’t have hills here but it didn’t stop the guys in the 4x4s. One night I was working night shift at the local hotel and my new husband comes very late to get quarters. You couldn’t tell his Nissan was black. There used to be very large sand dunes (radio island) at Morehead NC. Everyone went 4 wheelin. Now it’s got condos. I thought hubby was going to flip that truck down the hill. Boys and their toys 🤣 I can drive the four wheeler & a stick if I got to. Learned to drive in that beatle. Wish we still had it,
I had a 69 Baja bug I never should have got rid of.
