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:

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

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 ๐Ÿ˜‚, 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.
