Message: [QUOTE="Chin Diesel, post: 3148870, member: 34"] Learned a bit how to drive in icy conditions in high school. Mid to late 80's and a couple of friends had Chevy Chevettes. On snow days we'd go up to the school and do some e brake slides in the parking lots and a few times just straight drove in to snow piles. Good times. Black ice sucks. Got real lucky coming home from a UConn game at HCC many moons ago and was on 84 east by the old movie theaters in Manchester. Hit a patch of black ice and spun multiple times on the interstate. Came to a stop facing traffic coming right at us. Everyone did their jobs and no accidents. I think I was in a Chevy Blazer for that sharting episode. One of the best gifts I've had in my life and I will pass it down is my parents have paid for all four of their kids' AAA Plus membership since we have been able to drive and have continued to pay for us and their 11 grandkids every year. They do it for Christmas and they say it's the best piece of mind they can get. Also, as I find out, if you have AAA you can add your kids to your account at no charge while they have their permit. Finally, a bit of a humble brag. My daughter who has her permit has now twice successfully pulled boat out of boat drop at marina. Big stress relief to see her able to cinch the boat to the trailer and then dive it on out. This afternoon one of the marina workers was working on a rental boat and saw her do her stuff. He correctly said many guys wish they could pull a boat out that well. No wheel spin no jerking motions. I definitely spent time with her on flat land and without the boat on trailer going over low gears and setting/releasing parking brake. [/QUOTE]
