Yuck. I had to get a rental car while my van is in the shop. I don't think I'll be going anywhere tomorrow morning. :P

I'm sure the rental company would enjoy charging my cc for the full cost of the car I'm sure to destroy.

I remember how my dad taught me how to drive in winter conditions...He took me out on the frozen lake and I whipped as many shitties as I could. Then learned how to gain control of the car in a skid.

Luckily, it's not supposed to be too bad, sticking mostly to higher things like bridges and power lines.
