Oof. I feel for her. That fight/flight/freeze response can be really hard to override, especially given her background.

I taught myself how to drive in the snow pretty soon after I got my license, in a 1991 FJ80 Land Cruiser with zero electronic aids. I figured out how to drift that pig through the whole church parking lot 😂, but being able to do that on my own was hugely beneficial to where I can now make my FWD cars perform better in the snow than most drivers here with 4WD. I just turn off traction control if it's too hairy... Sometimes you need that wheelspin.

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

Anon is often crazy.
Anon is often depressed.
Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
