Even more in love with my FJ

I loved my car from the day I got it, but after a dangerous experience I now love it even more.

I was on the 84 going from Pocatello to Twin Falls and I hit some ice. I'm fairly new to driving in snow and ice since I'm from San Diego. I swerved a bit, over corrected, and lost control entirely. I was tossed off the freeway in between the east and west bound lanes which was thankfully brush-free but significantly deeper than the road. Long story short, my FJ handled great! I was in 2wd, and I know that if I were in any other vehicle I would have flipped. I drove back onto the freeway with no damage to me or the car.

Oh how I love my FJ Cruiser!

I hear you are getting some good snow down that way, and I am glad to hear that you are ok and will be around to enjoy some more of it.

Re: Even more in love with my FJ

As long as I am not in school I would love to! I haven't seen much of the north west yet and any opportunity to explore sounds great to me

Re: Even more in love with my FJ

Glad you and the rig are safe! It's been a while since I last visited Pocatello and turned up a new dental office there a while back (I used to work for Willamette Dental) and I know how the weather is there like this time of year
