funny you should mention that.. we just had a snow storm here a few
days ago, the kind where the temperature hovers around freezing, so
you get a lot of snow melting and refreezing into ice..  i dutifully
mounted my 4 studded tires and proceeded on my merry way.. on my way i
saw lots of abandoned vehicles, some with dents and what not but most
simply abandoned out of common sense.  when i got to the hilly parts i
saw 2 SUV's in the ditch within yards of one another.. the abandoned
cars were just parked on the side but the SUVs were parked pretty
funny with their butts in the air!  :)

i wonder how much insurance is for these things...
