Hoar frost - the icy layer that forms on your girlfriend's skin when you scope a hotty.

Winter tires stop you in a much shorter distance. That's a fact, like it or not.

The only thing worse than arbitrary dates for requiring snow tires on cars is not requiring snow tires at all, as Thoushalthoonthyrallyetyres explains.

basically same thing for me on a icy day, but the thing is the cop pulls a U-turn to give me my ticket.

Mille Miglia for the win! This is a T-shirt with the map of the course with an Alfa8C (winner of the 1938 race) that I shall now shamelessly self promote.

If the plow is just dropping sand/salt with its plow raised it's not a…

Drive on the wrong tires. Winter tires aren't just for snowy climes where it regularly goes sub-zero. The fact is, summer tires are like hockey pucks below about 40 degrees F. All-seasons are acceptable for a lot of people, but even then, a dedicated winter tire will still outperform it, and ultra high-performance all…
