I live in the flats so they never salt anything here until there is an accident. I think that salt mound they show on TV is just a prop. I was walking home the other morning and thanks to the 2" of solid ice on my street, some moron using it as a high speed cut-through sideswiped a few of the neighbors cars. Stay safe out there; you'd think that the city would have a damned system down pat by now, but no.... bikerchick — PGH Public Works is a goddamned joke.

WTF man? They act like it's the first time they've seen snow.....drivers included. What a fucking mess this AM to get into the city. It's ridiculous how every news station has some poor soul doing a report out in the elements at the salt mound on how much salt the city has and that they are "ready for action". I have an SUV too. Slid backwards down my entire driveway. Quite a ride. Some day I will end up in my neighbors livingroom. Phuck dat. Rat Bastard: WHAT IS the deal with the roads here in the Burg? WTF man?

Driving to work is going to be a fun time because it's been below freezing here for the last week or so and the city of Shitsburgh is very lax on taking care of the roads. On that note, I know a lot of us are living in the deep freeze, so here's one for you: what is the best winter vehicle you've had the pleasure of driving? For me, it's a tie between a 1992 Toyota Tercel and a 2003 VW Golf. Both front wheel drive stickshifts...went like motherfuckers in the snow. My truck, by contrast, does nowhere near as well even with 200 pounds or so of sandbags over the rear axle. That's all I have for now...maybe it'll keep us busy until Jeff can get something new posted. Cheers.
