Don’t you hate it when you turn the steering wheel to the right, but your car keeps going straight… straight into the side of the truck that is parked in front of you… and then there’s a big crashing sound… but at least your airbag doesn’t deploy, smashing you in the nose…

What? This has never happened to you? Then you’ve never lived through a Utah winter. And while it wasn’t a huge “accident” (no police were even called), I did smash into a work vehicle, meaning that the guy had to take a bunch of pictures of his truck and of my car, and he had to call his boss, who had to come out and survey the scene. It was made into a much bigger deal than it actually was.

Although I love my Honda Pilot — and it’s supposed to be great in the snow — a four wheel drive vehicle does little to help you when your four wheels are all bald. It’s sort of like trying to really dig into a big, juicy steak with the amazing cutting power of 4 spoons instead of 2. Now my sweet Pilot has an owie. Not a huge owie, but enough of an owie to make me a little skittish about driving anymore today…

…or until I get better tires. And I’ve already told you how great I am at the tire store… Those jerks already see me coming…
