On Sunday I found myself thinking the following in a ten-second time span while driving my mom's FWD car:
Hmm, I don't seem to be stopping ...
I could've sworn this car had ABS ...
Crap, I should've braked 30 feet back where there wasn't any ice ...
Hey, maybe that snow bank will stop me ... (10mph)
Hmm, maybe it'll slow me down enough that I can slide to a stop ...
Fuck, how the hell am I suppposed to steer around a fence ...
Crap, there's a fence under me and the guy who owns the house is giving me a funny look ...
