No, not really. I will drive carefully.

6 days after I bought this pickup we had a little ice storm. Doesn't happen very often at all in central Texas, and that was in mid-November. I was going to work at 5 AM that morning and hit ice on a deserted little highway and my nice new pickup did several donuts going down the highway. Fortunately... no damage... only a wild adrenaline rush. I ended up in the bar ditch on the side of the road and drove out.

But, ya know, that just isn't the kind of thing you like happening when your truck is brand new. My old Chevy truck wouldn't have done that.

Oh, geez, that's not a good thing to have happen!

Ok, finished off the homework (teaches me to leave it so late), printed it out, got it in my bag. I'm ready for tomorrow. Good thing because I'm almost ready to give up on today.

I have done donuts down a highway at 60mph, so I know about the uneasiness you have with that. I was a passenger at the time, and ice had nothing to do with it.

I take it your truck is a 2x not a 4x?
