"I Paid $60 for These Stupid Chains And They Don't Even Work!"We got a bit of snow locally last night (man it feels good to be able to link someplace again -- thanks, Barney!). I came to the office and there was about five inches on the ground with a sheet of ice underneath, and the tourists around here were panicking, many of them were worried they wouldn't be able to get out of their driveways on the last day of this holiday weekend (it's not that awful -- just take it slow). But the most entertaining thing I've seen in a while has to be a little sedan I followed out of Sunriver. When you're exiting Sunriver's main entrance, there's a ever-so-slight incline and people frequently slip a bit there as the stop sign is at the top of the slope. I came up behind a car with chains on that was really struggling to get out of there, front wheels spinning away. There was just one slight problem: His chains were on the back wheels, and he was in a front-wheel drive car. The license plate was from California, and I'm sure the guy has never driven in this kind of weather before, but I'm sure he's swearing up a storm. Posted by Jake on 01/16/06 @ 04:46 PM

I had to go over and tell they needed to be on the back. It was sorta funny. josh said on 01/16/06 @ 11:25 PM: You know, just to be on the safe side, I think I'll put one on the front left and one on the rear right. That should cover it, right? Paul said on 01/17/06 @ 02:29 AM: Haha! Priceless! monkeyinabox said on 01/17/06 @ 01:56 PM: You mean the gold chain I'm wearing around my neck won't help either? pril said on 01/23/06 @ 06:25 PM: not all Californians are from SF and LA. That guy obviously was, though. heheh. Dana said on 01/26/06 @ 03:05 PM: At least Northwesterners have enough sense to put chains on. Here in KY, it flurried a few days ago and we had 4 or 5 weather related accidents. Flurried!!! I swear, fluffy rain falls from the sky, and it saps all knowledge from their brains. Post a comment |
