I was sitting here watching the news, seeing the chaos down in Portland caused by the snow and ice. Normally you see someone heading into a corner or down a hill to fast then crashing off the side of the road. They just showed someone hitting a corner fast in a Subaru wagon, tossing it side ways doing a little drift and kept going on their merry way without an slow down. So who on here was it? It was a green Subaru Legacy wagon (one of the newer ones).

However I still have to say the funniest is the SUV sliding down a hill bouncing off of every thing in sight.

I can hear the SUV pilot now:

" But I have FOUR wheel drive?!!!??"

Since all the US news channels have already gone to hell, they should have replayed it in slow motion with "w00t! l33t dr1ftz0rz!!!" flashing at the bottom of the screen

Tom and I both have green Subaru wagons, but I don't think we can claim it was either of us.
