YellowLinesandArmadillos Posted October 30, 2008 Author Share Posted October 30, 2008 Mine is the DC to Buffalo trip for X-mas..... You can drive 65 mph through 2 feet of snow during a raging blizzard, without flinching. Took my road test in the snow, made the three point turn easier. Dad had an old power assist Volvo station wagon he let me use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took my road test in the snow, made the three point turn easier. Dad had an old power assist Volvo station wagon he let me use. I put myself through UB delivering pizza...with an '82 Mustang. My memories of winter driving in Buffalo are uniformly...interesting. If you ever saw a blue and white Mustang go from a dead stop to doing slow, graceful pirouettes through the intersection of Main and Transit in a cloud of burning oil, that was me.

DC Tom Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 A friend sent it to me, said it was from a Foxworthy visit to Buffalo... who knows? It's not, just a takeoff on his style. I've seen it plenty of times before...but never attributed to him. Your friend's an idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
