Yeah I have a 4 1/2 year old daughter, and I work in auto insurance claims, but I have no idea what I would do in this situation. With how cold it was when it happened, and with the severity of the impacts, you're damned if you get out of the car and damned if you stay in the car. Tough situation.

I'm surprised that video never made it on Jalopnik! That was a scary video to watch..

Oddly enough, it's the minivan that is more useful than all of those as well.

I was so against getting a minivan, but the best family vehicle we could get in our price range was a T&C.. and it's by far the most useful vehicle I've ever owned. It gets better gas mileage than our crossover, seats more people and holds

The Red Sox also played a total of 16 games in the playoffs, which equals $19,207.67 per share per game.

On a per-game basis, both NFL and MLB are making close to the same amounts. Baseball just plays more games. Now if you broke it down further into playing time (which I'm too lazy to do), it could show the difference

Cowboys should just hire all the Lions ex head coaches as coordinators. Apparently it works.

Z/28. Original package on the first-gen was designed with racing in mind. The new Z/28 was built with the same exact mindset.

This. 100x this. There's a 30+ car pileup 15 miles East of me on I-94 in Michigan right now because people don't know how to fucking drive when it snows.

At least 2 people have been killed in this pileup..

My minivan took about that long to heat up this morning too, but I'm basically trying to heat a small garage stall.. it takes a while.

I live on the opposite side of the state from Detroit - we're getting 1-3" this afternoon, 5-8" tonight and another 1-3" tomorrow. When I woke up this morning the wind chill was -27...

But you know what? I don't really want to live anywhere else! I hate the heat and we don't get any of the extreme natural weather

Everything That's Awful About The Detroit Auto Show

One of my two vehicles currently has snow tires on it. I know what the difference is and what is "good", but to say that all-seasons being good in the snow is a "myth" is false.

Are you thinking of the Coil Voltic?

It's a gorgeous Frankenstein monster of a car!

Can they just sell that mule?

"Have you ever been in a Turkish prison?"

Not many people succeed in their New Year's Resolution by the 8th day of the New Year.. but Don Lemon just fucking did it.

We actually have Blizzaks on the Redline. It does fantastic, but I don't notice much of a difference between them and my minivan. Now if the Vue was AWD, it'd likely be a completely different story. I could see how an AWD vehicle w/ snow tires would make a difference.

Alas, the Vue is just FWD, because the AWD system

I actually live in Kalamazoo lol.

And yeah, if there were mountains here, I'd change my thoughts! I own a minivan and a Vue Redline, and we have a set of snow tires for the Vue. So I can drive good all-seasons and snow tires back to back. There's a slight difference, but not enough of a difference for me to spend north

Alright, so if I'm reading all of this correctly, we need the following car:

Brown, diesel, station wagon with a manual transmission.
- Manual transmission has a gated shifter
- Pop up headlights
- Vent windows
- Power rear liftgate glass
- Bodyside moldings
- Hidden gas cap

Yes?

But good all-season tires ARE good in the snow. I've always had higher-end all-season tires on my vehicles, and I've never slid into anything, nor have I gotten stuck. I live in Southwest Michigan, where we get hammered with lake-effect snow for 4-5 months straight. I've had Coopers and Hankooks on just about every
