So it snowed again here today, I'm getting sick of it, andI left my house at 7:45 to get to a friends at 8. I get to his neighborhood and, to my dismay the streets were neither plowed nor salted. Me being the adventurous type calmly turned into the drive, slowly. I cruised through the stopsign and up a hill only to approach the down side of the hill, where, upon meeting the bottom, realized that I had to either turn left or right, and that there was a three story brick house right in front of me. Being that as it may, I depressed the breaks, which I later found out don't work to well on ice, and promptly slammed into the snow plow embankment, over the curb, into the "grass", comming to a stop about 3 feet away from a stone pillar. Well, an old lady inside must have heard me trying to get out, and the whining from the reverse gear, and I saw her peep out of the window, only to shut the blinds on the house, and turn off the outside lights. "What the hell," I thought, as a snow plow man stopped to help. He could do nothing, and the Stang was beached on a bed of snow and ice. It took me an hour, and a bunch of 1st to Reverse gear changing to get her out, but finally, after borrowing shovels and anything else, the only thing left in the yard was a chewed up grass rut, and lots of tire tracks. I guess that's why they didn't specify in the owner's manual that my car could also be used as an ice breaker.

I'm just going to drive my moms old car: 87 Volvo turbo intercooled from now on in the snow. The stang hates the damn salt that they coat the roads with here, so let the Sweed take all the bashing.
