Ahh Winter

This morning Michigan had it's first taste of winter. It was not delicious by any means. Last night the temperatures dropped, the rain turned to snow which in turn led to everything freezing up. Including my car locks. I hate my car. I always have and I'm sure I always will. My car hates me too, I can feel it. I do not have power locks so I have to go old school and stick my key in the lock and turn (remember those days?). My locks freeze even when there's no rain or snow to feeze them up. It's like they get cold, clam up and say "nope" to anything trying to get in the way.
So back to winter, I hate it almost as much as I hate my car. I can do Michigan freezing temperatures, the bone chilling wind and I'll even handle the snow, in small amounts. It's actually pretty, but you never heard me say that. The thing that I absolutely cannot live with is the ice. There's ice everywhere and once it starts, it doesn't go away until spring. There is ice on the roads, highways, rooftops, trees, grass...anything you can thing of, there's ice. Plowing the snow just doesn't seem to help. It packs it down and makes it slippery which makes it feel like ice.
Now in case I wasn't clear before, I really hate my car. I drive a glorified go-kart. It's small and lightweight. Cars like this should not even be allowed in Michigan. We should all be driving sports cars in the summer and big heavy duty four wheel drive trucks in the winter. I've even seen people driving to work on snow mobiles and ATV's. What is ridiculous is my lawnmower size wheels spinning in the snow and my go-kart spinning here and there while I'm just trying to go straight. I'm inside the car half laughing at the obsurdity, half crying of embarassment wishing that I had never gotten rid of my 4x4 ranger. That was the dumbest thing I think I could have even done in my entire life. That was the best thing I've ever bought myself and I blew it. I'm an expert at wrong decisions.
My point...I hope I don't die this winter and if I do, please dispose of my car in a way that would satisfy my last wishes. Drown it, burn it, or better yet, crash it into a snow bank. I think it would like it.
