    It’s Wyoming. One winter running around the state should be enough to get the idea across.

    This one is sitting east of Laramie, next to a few other cars and a HUGE pile of scrap.

    There was another engine or two scattered around in pices. :confused:

    Big slow trucks seeing you coming up and still cutting you off isnthe biggest issue in Wyoming. You pass 30 people and by the time that dude moves everyone caught up.... in the end wasted a ton of fuel and patience pol

    Driving too fast for conditions and that's careless and reckless driving

    The way the snow blows over the road then freezes creating a shieet of ice on long stretches of rolling windy hilly highway where truckers and 4 wheelers hauling u hauls go too fast. There you have it in a nutshell.
