Driving home in the storm last night wasn't that bad. Counted 2 in the ditch on 275 S and 1 on 96 E. Looked like they just slipped off the road into the ditch. Locked the hubs in before leaving, then shifted on the fly here and there back home (appx 60 miles).

It was a little sketchy. The largest issue were the drivers in the center lanes doing 30 mph while every one else was taking it easy at 55/60. Those slower vehicles really mess up the works in this situation.

Even in MI some shouldn't have a license.

Applies here as well.

I've said, for decades, that nobody should be issued a driver's license without skidpad testing.

Not much snow left (currently) in the forecast. I'm hoping that changes, and the mountains get nailed a couple more times.

There are quite a few here that shouldn't be driving. We're going to have all 3 kids go to private drivers ed. The public system is *****.

Most really suck at drifting as well when they get into trouble...

^^ This is why I think it's good for kids to do donuts in the church parking lot.

My explorer and mountaineer both were like this and didn't have dipsticks.
Or was I just doing it wrong again?
Some of them are, but this one is filled from up top. I think the idiocy began in the 2002 models.
