Roswell with change rims lol,they don'look pretty when bent to help,if,he crashed lol

[honda230f11]

why is everybody going so slow its just a dusting of snow

[ShutterbugW]

@honda230f11 Because this is a combination of Snow and ice. That area below that 100 foot drop has a canyon full of water . Well, the previous precip (rain) froze so there is a layer of Ice below that snow. Here in the pacific NW we don't get a "Wet Snow" and because those from not here said the exact same thing you did. Then they either end up dead, wrecked, or spun out or killing some one else or damaging some one elses car..

You are going mad slow, but it is a twisty road and somewhat busy, so smart move.

[skatersRgay1993]

@honda230f11 Because apparently it isn't New York and they aren't used to this stuff.
