Dude, you need a girlfriend or a shrink. Molesting innocent pastries like that just ain't right.

HAHAHAHA, Purple just got his license not "TOO" long ago. Now he can finally take the Gravley and Cub out for a night on the town.

on the way home from my aunt house tonight i slide across 4 lane on the highway just after i passed my mom who was doing 50km/h in the left lane. my brother-in-law thought we was going to hit the ditch but lucky enough i didn't. managed to pull it over to the opposite side of the road. the hardest thing i found was getting it back onto the right side of the road. it felt like every time i tried to get moving the truck almost wanted to slide into the ditch. i think over the next couple of days i am going to have to pick up a couple hundred pounds of sand for weight. don't need any repeats.

You live in the Great White North and have no bed weight? I've never even heard of that before!

If you want multipurpose bed weights, round yourself up a couple of those big Canuckistani fat chicks. "Snow cows", I think they're called.

I spent like 6 hrs stuck at a standstill on the thruway watching semis get bulldozered right off the road because the snow and ice was so bad they couldnt even get enough traction to move... good times...got to love winter in Buffalo and all the lake effect snow that come with it.
Driving a lot has its perks, It can be fun counting the new suv / truck owners and 16 year old kids in ditches on the first couplle snow falls though... fools dont understand how 4wd doesnt help much with slowing down yet... its like watching someone learn how to iceskate...

I hear that the best way to catch them is to cruise real slow through the mall parking lot with the tailgate down and a couple of to-go orders of poutine in the bed, up near the cab. They'll just jump right in. Or so I've been told.

Nah, that's not a Sasquatch. That's a snow cow traction weight walking back to town.

Being #1 a kid #2 raised in Georgia and #3 driving the truck I learned how to drive in thus thinking I know everything about how to drive and knowing my truck I get myself into plenty of sticky situations, especially in snow. However ive yet to have a bad wreck, and I hope I never do in my dodge... Most recent and scariest I can think of was on the mountain a couple weeks ago.

I had the day off and it had and was continuing to lay down some serious snow and I wanted to cruise to the crest so I organized a little thing and wound up with two trucks (diesels) flowing me (little 318 on big tires with short gears) <felt like it mattered. Well goin up was pretty uneventful but going down I was invinceble thus hauling ***, I mean like 30 or 40 on a switchback road with advised limits of 20 to 15, hitting the powder for brakes and such. Was going fine till I hit this S that was mostly ice, so truck accidentally kicked out but not too bad except that I needed to reclaim it AND make the next turn which I did but that slung the rear end almost completely in front of me, I was still running about 30 to 35 and thought I lost it, but with a little skill and a lot of luck I was able to catch it with the wheel and very careful braking. Was a rush for sure then about a half mile down I got rear ended by one of the guys following me in a cummins lol

Well guys, old thread, but it's already snow time for some, getting close for others. So if anyone has a story or experience they wanna share feel free

I hope to avoid having to post my truck slide down the hill this winter.
