I had a hoot!!The driver then looked at me with his mouth on the floor of his car....Hahahahahahahahaha what a moron!

I can understand that. We were going to make our way to Calgary to visit but other things came up. We counted over 25 vehicles in the ditch between Edmonton and Leduc on the Queen Elizabeth II Highway. (Only about 15 km.) It was pretty insane, and of course we were doing it in the car, with ****ty brakes, failing ABS, and a thermostat that needs to be replaced, so the windshield was freezing over. The way I look at it though is that if I can do well with the car, it'll be a breeze in the Hummer. I keep trying to drive like a dink in parking lots and stuff, but the traction control takes away my fun. The car is more amusing in that regard.
