I was riding with my sister the other day in the RAIN... We roll up to a stop sign and she goes to make a left hand turn and spins a 180... I was like :unwell028 because I thought we were going to die... She's like "I dont know why it always does that?" I was like when it starts to slip let off it a little... "oh, she says, I thought I was surpose to slowly press harder..." :help:

Haha

The other day we were leaving wal-mart and before she backs up she lifts up her right hand and stares at it... I was like wtf are you doing? "Oh, trying to remember which way I have to turn the wheel to back up..." :bow

Believe it or not, the ice storms we have in the south are a lot harder to drive through than the snow is. I've pulled a U-haul all the way from Illinois with snow all over the place and never had a problem. When I'm here in Georgia and we have ice storms, it'll make you slide all over the place if it's a 2WD.
