Watching those cars sliding sideways makes you wonder how steep those hills are. Some of those people looked like they shouldn't be driving in the snow (if not all of them)

Some days I think I'm the only guy in Richmond with snow tires on his car..

That silver minivan looks as though the accelerator pedal is to the floor, instead of the brakes, especially when it nails the wall..ouch!

I now know where that is in Portland, there are some very steep hills right above PGE park.

Is that on top by the University? Been up there once or twice, gets pretty steep in places.

Close. It's right around the last train stop before the zoo tunnel. A litte more west of PSU.

Ya, I would hit those other cars way harder than they did.

The best thing is I have a buddy that works for the fire dept. He told me right after the fire truck showed up to block the road 2 cars hit the sumabitch HARD in the side and pretty much wrecked the fire truck.
