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...

You said you went out of gas and I said you need to know when to fill up before going out of gas.

Or switch to the square box with seats and a heater mode of transport when its cold that most of us use all year round.

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

Hah, much the same as my link to the French car Or more like an ariel atom without the speed I assume

Without the speed, protection from accidents, range, style, anything really....

Don't know what to say to this except, really?

Well, at least you didn't have to pay a monthly rental for the batteries?

...and you're not going to be in the lead for long either!
I dread the day someone decides to hook a caravan to the back of one...

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

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.
