    I'm sure having AWD helps...haha.

    That big rig coming down was scary!

    Bahaha, what black ice? it was clearly covered in ice. Black ice here has NO indication (no snow either) that it's frozen. Also he's in an EVO 2" off the ground, that front lip was bound to get crushed especially with snow. He was lucky though.

    Stopping that video at 0:41 those don't like snow tires but rather the factory Advans (racing tires). I'm shocked it didn't end up worse. The driver is a moron for driving that vehicle in the snow. Lowered car + bumper lip + snow = stupid.

    In the end when he drove by the SINGLE car holding up all those cars, I would have hooked up my tow strap and shackles and dragged that thing in the ditch to keep traffic flowing.

    I have done this kinda driving 3 times a year here in MN. I went on a course for driving in the snow and ice and we had to bomb the **** out of the car and put it into a spin then recover. It was alot of fun and many times I hit a patch of ice I seem to correct myself quite effortlessly after taking the course. I thought that driver did pretty good to avoid the big smash but I was kinda stunned how fast he was going before them cars popped outa nowhere

    Looked to me like the bumper lip caught the embankment, not the snow. It was only about about inch of snow.

    It's on a highway or interstate possibly so the speed is anywhere from 50-70 MPH I would assume. Given the snow conditions and fog, that's how it is man. Did you see the speed of the Ford beside him? The Flex will PASS him before impact. And he was right, people stopped is not good and you could see he tried to slow down and his early decision to stay outside was good. He almost got smoked by the rig that slid through. If he was in the other lane, even with AWD he may have gotten smoked.
