Totally off topic... but Whoa! Check this out!
 

So.. yeah, this happened here today. Just a couple of hours ago. I thought it might be good for a moments worth of distraction. We had a little snow in Denver today.. and ...

The headline:

Crazy! :eek: This is why I drive a tank. Okay it's not really a tank, but it seems like one in terms of what it costs to fill it up and how solid it feels while driving it. I drive a 4WD Durango. I feel safer in it than most cars. I don't think I could handle a car accident at this point. That would most likely throw me over the edge (any further major injury). The risk can be high when the roads are slick. Of course I try and stay off of them, but there's always the chance I will have to pick my daughter up from school or something.

Anyway... I thought this was nuts! We deal with all kinds of bad weather here, so not sure why that today was the day they decided to ice skate on the interstate. :(

BTW- I do hate that someone lost their life today in this mess. I know their family must be heartbroken. Twenty more hospitalized. :( Jeez

terrible
 

I used to drive on the I 25 for a bit back in the 1980's back n forth from Denver to Boulder. I remember the road then used to have black ice and be hazardous but this is beyond awful. I used to drive a little white passat, loved it. Def not 4wd like we have nowadays. Still, I always felt safe in it.

Passat's are good cars. After looking at these images, I'm not sure it would have mattered what you were driving. wow! :eek: some impressive photo's. http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news...in-i-25-pileup
Sooooo glad I wasn't on the interstate today. Perhaps I am driving around with a false sense of security... an illusion that I am safe.

Gotta run to the acme. Jeez, dam. oh well. they don't know if they want 3" or 12', we'll see. Anyways, I got a 4x4 sburburban, with new michelens on it I'll be back if I make it!
