I said that! A big a$$ toolbox and some cinderblocks in the trunk, fairly
new Michelins 145-13. Absolutely zero traction. No brakes. I did not
dare to go up or down any of the frequent inclines around here. Went
round'n'round little neighborhood traffic circles totally sideways - at
0.5 mph!!! Even pedestrians thought it was funny.
