Every couple of years the southerners freak out, the yankees laugh and the city comes to a complete stop. A few things to remember: - Austin has virtually no road salting and sanding crews - Bubba's pickup + hint of ice = your wrecked car Seriously, even if you KNOW how to drive in this, most don't and they are a total and complete hazard. I've worked in MI, MN, and Canada and I'll take driving after a blizzard there over driving on ice around here. Regardles, my car is worthless in the rain, on ice you might as well strap a bomb in it and paint red circles on the doors. Now, when its summer and the northern states actually hit 100 for more than a few days and start freaking out..... that's funny. :P This will be my fourth or fifth TEXANS ON ICE SPECTACULAR!
