I guess thats true, but I wanna make it up this major hill I have to go up to get home from school, and I wanna be doing at least the speed limit lol
My West Texas Snow storm story...it's lame but I'm bored lol
It never snows much here in West Texas. One year we got 9 inches which is a ton for us here in West Texas. This snow started a few hours after I got to work. They mentioned it may snow on the news but most of the time they don't know their butts from a hole in the ground. My car was a stock 84' Monte Carlo SS. When lunch time came there was atleast a foot of snow on the ground and I was hungry. So I started home and never paid much attention to my route home and ended up in an underpass. It was easiy getting down but going up was another story. The other ramp was shear snow/ice and no way I was walking out of that place. I made a running start at it but slid down about half way. Now the ramp behind me wasn't so bad, so I started backing up on it as fair as I could without sliding. Then I would nail it and finnaly made it...about 5 trys later. Thinking back on it I thank God I didn't slid into some piller going for speed. Anyhow, I took it easy the rest of the way home which was about 10 miles from work. The fastest I could get out on the hwy was 30~mph.
Well once I got home I swaped cars with my mom for her 97' Grand Am. There was no way in hell she was going anywhere with snow on the ground lol So I headed back to work which was about a 10 mile trip. The return trip was so much fun! I could do 60mph easy and 70mph with the rear end fish tailing Hey, NO one was on the road and it was 6 lanes wide so what the heck. Oh and that over pass, once again I forgot about it...hey it's just right outside my office door. Anyways, that thing was simple with ma's old Grand Am. That car had about 120hp and had zero issues climbing out of that underpass
