Can't imagine what the first car was doing, maybe he figured screw it I already hit something might as well have some fun and smash a whole bunch of other cars.

Agreed. I think the driver of the first car had a few too many!

2: Paralytic drivers with All Season tires on the ice.

Once out of the city and at higher elevations you will get lots more snow.

Why are you moving to Portland? I visit there many times, since my sister lives there, but it sure is a weird place, with weird people. Strange politics, strange gas stations, more strip joints per capita than any other US city, bicycles EVERYWHERE. If you aren't an eco-nut, you won't make many friends. Any Portlanders reading this? No offense intended, weirdo... Portland and much of the Wet Side is unique and different - much to the frustration of the folks living in rural Central and Eastern Oregun....

When I was a teenager, my big sister was cool. She had one of the first RX7s and then she bought a '68 F100 pickup and rebuilt the engine by herself, and installed a floor shifter and side pipes! Then she moved to Oregun and became an eco-nut. She proudly paid $4000 over sticker for her first Prius and hasn't looked back. I still love her, but we are living in two separate universes

Be careful in Portland!
