    I think I'd rather use a C5 - at least you could back that up... :laugh:

              A few weeks back I mentioned an aquaplaning adventure with my motorcycle. Today it was unexpectedly slippery (newssites even mention the many accidents this morning) and this time the back-end of my motorcycle broke out. I was driving pretty straight at the moment (so no turn luckily) and I just went of the gas and it pulled itself back straight. I had many sharp turns coming right up, so needless to say I went at crawling speed through. Perhaps it was good I received the warning moments before :). I really need to move to a warm and sunny climate...

              He, he. This morning was raining even here and I cowardly wisely chose the car.

                    I do not think I would have been able to recover. If I did I too would have went slow through the curve. I need to ride more. But not at -4F.
