Default bad combination

Lets just say that a 400rwhp 2wd truck, icy roads, and a walking cast on the right foot are not a good idea !! I decided to drive my truck to work yesterday since it hasn't been driven in a while. The temps were supposed to get up and melt off all this snow and ice and I thought I might get to open it up a little on the way home. WRONG. I slipped and busted my *** in the parking lot at work. Broke my ankle and ended up spending the whole day in and out of medical facilities. They ended up putting on a walking cast and telling me to stay off it. I had to drive home like that, boy was that fun !! Unable to feel the gas pedal and unable to flex my foot. The slightest bit of throttle and I was fishtailing all over the place. I was wishing I still had the electronic traction control.

Hey man, sorry to hear about your bad luck. Maybe the next year will be your year. Sometimes it's gotta get worse before it gets better.

Ok, enough of the old sayin's, lol

The roads were pretty bad here too, but my little 4.8 had no problems.

Apparently the lack of torque is a bonus on icy roads!

By the way, watch out if it rains tomorrow. Don't want you getting hit by lightening! But seriously, hopefully your luck will change for the better.

That sucks. You'll be alright. This weather is so tempting. Im trying to be as cautious and careful as possible. Tax Return money is right around the corner and I have BIG plans. Speaking of that...
