Only Happy When it Rains

wow someone from southern california trying to talk about driving in the snow...
I definately miss snow driving. Nothing like literally being the only one on the highway. I remember one night it was white out conditions, and my car literally slid 100 feet when i tried to slow down to take my exit on the highway. Fun stuff. Humans have dealt with horrible weather for decades without electronic nanny's. Frankly, it is more important for a car to be predictable, then for it to try and "save" you.

of course, keep in mind that the vast majority of Californians are transplants, not born here. I sure don't miss driving the snow, but I do miss having snow to play with. We had snow in San Francisco Bay Area 3 days ago, if you can believe that. http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/articl...MNMB1B0B19.DTL People were completely confused. I saw a woman drive with her windshield completely frozen, just with her head popping out of the driver's window. Didn't think of trying to defrost first or even gently scrape the windshield with a credit card or something like that. So here she was, driving down the street, pretty much with next to zero visibility.
