    I saw this on another site and I thought I would post it here. Apparently Portland, Oregon got around 4 inches (yes, inches not feet) of snow/ice and someone went on top of their apartment and filmed cars sliding/crashing into each other.

    Video can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPE8vL5hlFA

    That must suck for those people, lol. Not really "serious" chat, but it could be if you are crazy enough to go out driving when there is ice. :lol:

    That's crazy. It looks like its a steep hill, but it's hard to tell with the camera angle and snow on the ground.

    The problem with that is that the drivers are stepping way too hard on their brakes. Straighten out the car and go with it! Braking hard only makes you spin out.

    That being said, they shouldn't even be on the roads. :lol:

    These people were IDIOTS. IDIOTS.

    You never drive in conditions like this. You stay the hell at home.

    I didn't even dent my car.

    Too late. Bunn you are warned for usage of the word retarded. Have respect for people who have down syndrome. That's why we have that word in place to begin with.
