Coming back we ended up in a blizzard. I was hung over as all get go. We pulled into town finally after about 8 hours on the road and everyone was like, "where did you come from?". So we told them we just pulled in. Unknown us, the Interstates were all closed. Hmmm. That might explain why there was no traffic as we were doing a solid 60mph and there was 1 1/2 feet of snow on them. Guess they just shut the gates but we were already out there. I dunno.......if it was a powdery snow and they had one of these sweet spoilers on their van.......maybe? I drove a mid 70s Dodge B van with a 400 in it for a couple of years. It was pretty helpless if you got 4" of snow with an unplowed road. If that 4" of snow was the wet packing kind, you were lucky to get the van to even move, with a Sure Grip and real snow tires. It certainly sat up that high but no flares or spoiler. Thing was listed as a motorhome on the title. 400 with a 2 barrel and a Dana out back with a huge stack of springs. Painted red/orange with sailing ships airbrushed all over it. Called it the Seadog. We couldn't shut it down because the starter went Kaput in Milwaukee. Tried starting it for an hour. Nada. Thing backfired through the carb and it was so cold I jumped back and ripped my hand open on the cover. Key was on the run position and the next thing I know, boom, the van fired itself up. I kid you not. We all piled in and back to Michigan. So darn cold, my hand didn't even bleed. Hit the MI border and the snow started coming. 67 Barracuda FB 69 Superbee "Southern Maryland: If you want a good looking woman, you had better bring her with you"
