my car was in the process of getting fixed, so I borrowed my dad's full-size van. I had no idea I could be grateful for having an unloaded rear-wheel drive van in winter.
I was sitting at a stoplight at night, it was snowing lightly. The light changes to green, I let go of the brakes and give the gas just the tiniest nudge (you can't stomp on the gas in an unloaded cargo van), the wheels start to spin...
Then this &*)(% in a black Blazer flies out into the intersection from the right, spins around 180, drives off in the opposite direction. He didn't even have plates, just the cardboard inserts from the dealer.
I was so glad my wheels were slipping... |
