Had some fun on the way to UPS at the airport this morning. There were a few 4-wheelers in front of me on the highway. Rolling about 40 mph, stacked close together. Like good 4-wheelers do. Had the winter road condition trifecta. Icy slush, rapid drop in air temp, and below freezing road temp. Well, the front 4w hit the brakes and started 2 spin. The next 3 4w thought that would to much fun and hit their brakes and started a 4-way ballet of bumper cars. I let off the accelerator and went straight to skis. Oh, I love 4-wheelers! What fun it is to watch 4-wheelers bump, bash, n crash all morning. Now to thread the needle n not hit these idiots. Oh great, their covering the whole highway! But, at least their moving. LOTI. The guy in the blue car, on my left front, who is now facing me with bigger then life eyes, is frantically waving at me to stop! “Hey, idiot #3, you hit your brakes and I’m on skies! what you want me to do?” The trucker god was watching out for me this morning. Cause as I skied at the two remaining 4-wheelers on the highway. My mirrors swept over them and my fenders missed em by an inch or less. At the speeds we were traveling I wouldn’t have hurt em, but I would have done some good damage to their cars. 4-wheelers are idiots.
