I am Super Man (or Woman)!!!

I got new snow tires and now I am invincible!!! You should see me.... other cars slip and slide in the snow, but not me... I've got the power. I just cruise down the road, unafraid of the ungroomed Utah roads. Yes, you, Utah. I drove those roads during the famous blizzard of AFTER Thanksgiving 2010, that was the unanticipated and ten times worse version than the famous blizzard of BEFORE Thanksgiving 2010. In the BEFORE blizzard, people were stocking up on water and toilet paper. Then the blizzard turned out to be nothing. I think it was God's way of preparing people for the famous blizzard of AFTER Thanksgiving 2010. (You know how God does that sometimes... sends a teaser so that you get prepared and then unleashes the real thing.) That blizzard left the 15 freeway looking like a ski slope (of course, it might not have, if UTA groomed their freeways.)  But UTA apparently does not, because there was not even salt on the freeway, and none of the road was visible. It was solid snow. But I ventured forth into it, and survived, and returned determined to get new snow tires as a result. You know how when you get new shoes, you're suddenly able to jump higher and run faster? Or when you get a new dress, you're suddenly the most beautiful woman ever? New snow tires are like that, but for your car. And because when driving in the snow, you are your car, I have thus become invincible. This is not an excuse to be wreckless, but if you see a superhero on the news with new snow tires, it was me.

(All misspellings are intentional. I shouldn't have to tell you that, but there's a tiny voice inside my head that says I need to.)
