Drove almost 900 miles just to get stuck in my own driveway! (pics, DUW)

Ended up getting stuck driving my brother to Memphis yestarday sence Greyhound ****ed up his ticket again!

We left my house at 7am yestarday, got to memphis at around 7 PM and got back to my house at around 6 am! The trip too and from Memphis took 23 hours! :eek: Took I-70 to I 57, I-57 to I-55 and to Memphis. The weather sucked till I got about 100 miles south of Effingham! Seen a couple trucks off the side of the road. It wasn't too bad going out. Probably seen about 10 off the road comming back though! :eek: Roads were pretty shiznitty comming back! For the last 200 miles I couldn't drive faster than 45mph cause the snow and ice on the interstates were so bad! Not to mention the ****ing wind blew us all over the place! But we made it all the way back to indiana to find out that they closed the roads! So that was a fun last 50 miles. But we made it back. And then I go to pull in the ****ing driveway and discover that there was a hardend hump of Ice! Got my moms car stuck right on it!

$60 for a ****ing tow truck to pull it back out just so I could get a better run and get it stuck worse! :lol:

Here's some pics!

Sucks to be this guy!

Its the King!

Outside the welcome center in memphis (when we got lost!)

Of course I couldn't drive all the way down south without picking up some firewords! :D Boomland!

Effingham, Ill, I-57, most of the interstate looked like this and worse!

Terre Haute, roads were closed.

And here's what I had to come home too!

I did one better. I was sliding on the road, so instead of trying to correct it and possibly roll my SUV, I drove through the ditch which only had 4 inches of snow, but it had drifted to the north side and was about 2 foot deep. I got stuck parallel to the rode about a foot from it. Took two 4 wheel drive trucks to pull me out. I was PISSED.

After reading your story I expected to see the aftermath of a snowstorm... I dont know what to say... buy snow tires.

Have you driven a fwd in the winter before? i'd drive my sprint 100km in the snow before driving the t-bird 10km. Its near impossible to get stuck or loose controll of a fwd in the snow.
