Land Rover vs Snow
So its been a while since my last post. Stupid internet virus issues. But since its back up for the time being I figured Id take the time to make a little update.
Today I was driving home from work when I noticed all the vehicles off the road seemed to be higher end SUVs. Did I forget to mention that its snowing like a blizzard out today? Yeah, about that. Lets back up.
So as most of you know I am a construction worker. I work for a moderately sized company thats been around for about 60 years and unfortunently still doesn't seem to know what they are doing.
Its the type of company that hears there is going to be the snow storm of the year a week in advance but doesn't bother to cancel the work day (even though the rest of the state has) untill about 9:00. Then they send everyone home...
Yeah. So now instead of just driving TO work in bad weather, we get to turn around and come home after about 2 hours of work and deal with all the other idiots on the road once again. I love my job, (cc. this is why I drink).
Where was I, ah yes. High end SUVs. Now I drive a 90 Jeep who's engion is about to explode and has no 4 wheel drive anymore. Its a pimpin ride. You know, check the gas and fill the oil daily type. Oh yeah baby.
Anyway, Somehow I end up being one of the only people in an SUV who knows how to drive in bad weather. In the 2 and a half hour commute home, Please note its not that long because of the weather, its because of the other drivers, I saw 11, yes thats right 11 cars off the road.
2 mini vans
1 pickup (with a plow no less... moron)
2 small cars, grand am and the like
and 6 SUVs.
Not just Jeeps like mine, in fact I don't recal a single one except the new liberty style. No they were almost all Tahos or Expiditions or my personal favorite; a land rover.
People, If you can't drive a freakin land rover with just a few inches of snow and slush on the ground then you don't deserve to be behind the wheel. EVER.
Whats the old Land Rover modo; the ultimate land vehicle or something like that? Yeah, these things are like tanks and some woman has lost control getting ON the interstate and ended up in the median, on its side.
You fail at life. Turn in your licence, and stay the hell off the road so people who KNOW how to drive can get where their going without worrying your going to crash into one of us.
