She also did it going around corners... Not to mention how she always waited till the last moment to start slowing down on blacktop, then uses the same stopping points in the winter.

Snow is fun on and off the road. Ice is fun off the road.

I have hit black ice once... I was driving the Old Geo Tracker. It was one of the most stressful events in my life.
