Get out of the heavy, metal semi to stand in the bitter cold with your tiny, frail body while thousands of pounds of kinetic energy come barreling down at you. A brilliant suggestion.

Yeah that one's from last year, seen it before. I seem to recall it's from a storm on an interstate starting with 6 or 7 in the upper midwest. Seems like more of a driver failure though. Why the gently caress would you drive that fast in white-out conditions?

I saw one of those in real life and it was so satisfying. Some rear end in a top hat in a truck weaving through traffic at 60+ during a blizzard where most traffic was doing 20 because of road conditions. About 5 minutes down the road guess who drove their truck straight into the divider and totaled it. He was standing on the side of the road with his hands on his head staring at it too so he wasn't really hurt, so basically perfect karma.

Please, pray tell, let me know why your "4x4" can stop and steer better, once you've achieved ludicrous speed in a blizzard?

Plus you have the issue of the harder you stop the more the weight transfers to the front and the less the rear wheels matter. Although I'm not sure what percent of the weight remains on the rear wheels of a car compared to a motorcycle, obviously it's a lot higher as I don't see cars doing stoppies.

Especially a pickup, where like 90% of the total weight is in the front half. My first car was an old Dodge Ram, and I remember putting sandbags in the back in muddy or snowy conditions to try to give it any traction at all.

I run with 250# of lead and 300# of sand in the back of my truck in the winter. It helps, but I still run it in 2WD 99% of the time. Thankfully, it has traction control and stability control as well. I turned it off a few times and it's laughably bad in the snow. The combo of the diesel engine making a ton of torque and the long bed means it really likes to kick the rear end out.

evil_bunnY posted:That's... insane? The only way I've ever heard it used was to mean going faster than you're sposed to, for the purpose of self-entertainment. AKA mobbing the canyons, mobbing some twisties. Here in the South, it typically means there's a group of cars all running at significantly higher speed than other traffic while very close to each other. I've seen 10-30 car "mobs" at 85-95mph at drafting distances (6-8ft) between cars on the interstate in Georgia.

I've been caught in groups like that on road trips, except it was more like 100+ down I-10 in a group of 10+ cars. Made it from El Paso to DFW in 7 hours one time (normally 10+ hours) when I was in a group like that... including gas and food stops. We all wound up just stopping at the same places to stay together, none of us knew each other or anything. Just... one car would join the group, another would join the group, etc. I joined when they blew past me when I was already doing 80. One car would pull off for gas/food, we'd all pull off, and just shoot the poo poo at the gas pumps. My car started telling knock knock jokes a few days later, but it also spent 7 hours at ~5000 RPM.. and there was a money shift involved at one point (it was also a $1500 Accord with a junkyard engine in it)
