..Is so much fun.

Seriously, why is everybody so afraid of it. Once you know how to do things, it's actually really fun.

Tonight we got a good amount so I took some suburban backgoads and just fishtailed along streets. I ended up changing directions six times one time. I wanted to spin out, but there's parked cars everywhere.

Me and a friend may or may not have crashed another friends car into the magical forest on Wellington tonight.


At this point it still remains speculation. :sneaky:

No snow today (or ever in my town) but heavy rain. Once you get those windshield wipers going though, it can be a real rush!

You know, I wouldnt have felt like I'd been cheated on if you just kept quit.


But now, ohhhhh now I feel heartbroken.

HOW COULD YOU!


You better have at least thought of me. Cleaning the counters. Or flirting with the cashier girl, or the coffee girl. Or getting hit on by the asian guy.

Or else I'll be borderline suicidal.

Last year when we were driving in a blizzard me and my friend who was driving bother had to stick our heads out the window to see anything. Man that got cold.

I shall tell you of my adventure tonight then!

I gave the cashier a toonie for my Jones, which was in my wallet and it was a bit cold because my hands were cold. So she's like "YES! COLD CHANGE!"

I'm like, "?"

And then she went on a rant about how she doesn't like things that are warmed up.

Oh hot starbucks employees.

Wait...

STARBUCKS????

YOU GUYS ARE LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE TIM HORTONS AND YOU WENT TO FRIGGIN STARBUCKS?????

Actually, we're just really bored of Tim Hortons after going so much. And Starbucks' birth place is just south of our border, so we get damn good coffee either way. :)

Driving in the snow is the same as driving in anything else; eventually you get to where you werre going and you realize what a burden it was on the little time you have in the day, wondering when the **** they're going to come out with that teleportation machine.

Well driving's a damn sight better than taking public transportation for me. I'm willing to plunk ~$30 a week so it's only one hour of driving combined and don't have to spend 3 hours sitting on a bus accomplishing nothing.

Phfffff. Not everyone who goes to Starbucks is a penis pushing yuppie.

As said by Geroge Carlin: The more things they ask for on the order, the bigger ******* the person is.


And Tim Hortons is alright. But Starbucks was invented closer to us than Tim Hortons was. So I dont know.....

People just need to be careful when driving in the snow. Sadly some people are stupid. Im guessing several who have posted on this thread.

I spend 12 hours a week in public transportation so I'm all for teleportation...though don't want a Brundlefly incident.

I hate driving in the snow, just for the reasons you mentioned...I don't like skidding and my car changing directions when I don't want it to, especially when there is a car coming the other way. If I'm in an open field? Yeah, I guess that would be cool, but I'd rather not die for something that is mildly fun.

... don't have to spend 3 hours sitting on a bus accomplishing nothing.Ok, busses are nasty, but trains are good. I read books, listen to music (also possible in a bus)..... well that's basicly it. But it's not that bad.

Well, we dont really have trains here though.

I think we have basically 1 passenger train close to Dylan, Jonas, Phil, and myself. And I think it only goes to the waterfront.

So here, busses are of the highest importance.


However, the skytrain is the way to go. I'd rather take the skytrain than drive, go on a train, or a bus.

God bless the skytrain.

Well if you are driving in a safe environment with the sole intention of having fun in the snow, then it can be fun. But if you drive in the snow through populated and major highways, the situation changes. It's not so fun having to worry about your driving technique as well as others. When other lives are involved... please do not have fun driving in snow...

I dont feel like looking who posted this, but whoever posted it...... NEVER shall we meet on the road.. :)

I'm just now learning how to drive, and I'm already pissed off at irresponsible drivers...

That and dumbass joggers who feel the need to run on the side of the road as opposed to the perfectly good sidewalk right next to them...

I hope the irresponsible drivers take out some dumbass joggers when they crash and die...

That is all...
