Hehe, hey now!! ^_^
Actually, I usually don't drive the elise in winter, but that day I didn't have a choice, and -- the snow wasn't forcast until after I was at the office. Normally, I just leave my car in the company garage and get a ride home if there's some snow, but I couldn't find a ride that day -- everyone else wanted to get home and park (I don't blame them)
While I did try to leave early, the snow just came down too suddenly. I did almost make it home, and made it MUCH farther then the time I was forced to bank my Z3M off the side of the road for tow during a similar storm a couple years ago.
I was doing quite fine, traffic was going nice and slow, I was in the slow lane like a good little girl, until some big commercial truck decided they wanted to drive faster in the slow lane and it was my job to either speed up or get out of his way. In speeding up, of course I lost those back wheels and rather than lose it in the middle of the highway, I opted to drive to the shoulder. Sadly, it was near a bridge where I could see several near collisions even by "better snow cars", so I backed the car up as far as I could away from the highway (hence why it was tilted -- I wanted it to be as visible as possible from farther away) and got a ride home.
So, see, I'm not really *that* bad
.
Aside from MAJOR grime and a dead battery, the Elise is just peachy (~,^)
And Mike, good catch on knowing whose it was! You get this week's prize (not sure what that is but...)
Take care!
