Tom, I hope you had better weather than I did. I was pulling a trailer with my dually and hit Kansas late last Wednesday night, around 10 p.m., just in time for the snowstorm...it was a friggin' nightmare. My driver's-side windshield washer wasn't working, the plows hadn't gotten out yet, and there was a 45 mph crosswind that blew slush on my windshield every time a semi passed going the other way. Then the snow turned to ice...I was afraid that if I pulled over and stopped it might be a day or more before I got going again. I was the only loon on the road except for a few adventuresome truckers. I tell you, oversteer in a Cobra is nothing to getting sideways on glare ice in a dually, going uphill at 50 mph and pulling somebody else's $12,000 trailer! I have a few new gray hairs now...

Bob
