I've been to dozens of winter driving schools. This truly was top-notch. Course... the cars helped!

Wailing around in the snow in someone else's car? For money? Sigh. I definitely chose the wrong career path.

For money? You don't think I actually got paid to do that do you?

I made no money on that trip, but don't deserve any sympathy. They gave me the choice of flying (at their expense), or they'd give me a car. Since it was a 911 Turbo... I couldn't refuse. Burned a lot of gas between here and Northern Quebec – more than I got paid for that story.

As usual, you made the right choice.

yes.. anybody can fly with enough thrust.. but not everyone gets to flog a Porsche turbo across the landscape for miles on end
