How in the hell did you park that there?

One of the most harrowing experiences of my life was driving in the US in snowy conditions.
It wasn't the snow which was shitting me up, but the way the 'merkins seemed to think that through sheer American determination the laws of physics would somehow decide that they would leave them alone.
I have never seen so many crashed/upside-down/burning/sideways cars in my life, coupled with people speeding, hitting intermittent snowdrifts and veering sideways every few seconds. No chains, no nothing, just morons all the way to the mountains and back.
(I live in Switzerland and have seen people tackle snow like that, however the difference is they use chains, snow tyres and common sense.)

With all respects, I'm not sure chains and snow tyres would help you out of this one.

Oo-ooh.
Nice pic.
[edit]-Though the red of the car at the bottom suggests it's been *heavily* dicked around with.

Touche - but there would be no driving going on either.
It's the slamming it down the snow and ice covered roads as if it's a dry sunny day which I objected to.
You can see the cars in the video driving in the background, still a bit quick for my tastes, especially considering that there's an upended car in a ditch right beside them.
Anyhow - not saying Swiss drivers are better, just that I've never seen such a display of frightening driving then when I was in the snowey US.
