Anyways... its 7 am in the morning and i have to leave to catcha bus to take me snowboaring.. so i go out.. and the car is covered in 2 cm of ice!... i'm like... damm! so i get my scraper out.. and start chisseling my car out.... bla bla bal.. i get on the road...
and just as i get to the end of my street.. i hear the firetruck sirens.. but i dont see it.. i can hear it really closr..but i cant see it... and then it just appears.. the firetruck is going like at 10Kph... sooooooo slow.. i felt like i was ina video game... the roads where covered in black ice!!!! so i put on 4 wheel drive part time on ym jeep and head on....
and i get to a normally buisy avenue.. to find what... cars parked and just lying everywhere... cars parked sideways on the road.. some facing the wrong way.. some agains the curbe... i couldnt stop laughing!!.. like i mean.. i feel sorry for those people who are trying to get somewhere but are now stuck in the ice... but like.. i felt like i was a rally driver trying to avoid obstacles! i only saw myself and this other truck actually driving on the street...
needless to say the bus was canceled... wahat a bummer.. i really wanted to go boarding today!...
so the lesson learned today is... 4 wheel drive is good.... but 4 wheel drive part time (i thgink its has independent axil rotation) is better.... and people... get some chains please!
