Car Excitement

Entered: in vim on Onn Tablet 8Pro | Date: 20210321

Excitement yesterday. My youngest daughter was in Utah visiting her older sister during spring break. She asked me to pick her up. So I got in my car and drove over. While I was driving a snow storm hit. I picked her up without incident, then hit the road to drive back to Wyoming. I got past the summit (~8,400 ft above sea level) just fine. However, shortly after that I lost control of my car, left the road and buried my car in a snow bank. We were fine, the car seemed fine. I was definitely stuck though. I called 911 and two hours later I had a cop and a tow truck on location. Got pulled out, charged $300 for my dumbassery, and yes the car is fine.

I am thinking seriously about trading in this car for a 4x4 sometime soon.
