I’m truly embarrassed for my adopted city.

If that was Ice and snow. Those people are sad.
If it was solid Ice and down hill, I’d give them a break.
But they’re still stupid.

agreed ken. i give them some slack for how slippery it was, you saw how far that car slid sideways, but those driving too fast, “ooh my suv has 4 wheel drive i can drive fast”

Regardless of the conditions, the guy driving that first SUV is a complete idiot. You don’t floor it to try to gain control.

Honestly, it’s really not that bad here. But you combine unruly vehicles, lack of experience, poor driving skills, and really bad judgment and this is what you get.

you’ll notice the BMW driver got through unscathed.

I like how the 3 series goes around the corner as if nothing was wrong. But, the first guy, although a complete dumbass, provides immense entertainment.

Dodgems, only without the dodging.

It was obviously quite icy, the first guy was great entertainment as mentioned before. Btw, those people probably have poor “all season” tires that aren’t even rated for mud or snow.

Just like the vast majority of people in Chicago, Buffalo etc… :)
