[DeTomaso] NPC: Cruise Control in the Rain issue Fact

[Doug Braun]

Oh Yeah Asa, Mad Dog's one fault is he's humble!  He forgot to mention that
when he's looking through the floorboards, he's pulling a constant wheelie.
Us West of the Cascade types are superior drivers, Ha!

Sheeeeeet, that's nothin',

I used to drive my 1971 Mach I across that same pass in the dead of
winter, after the Interstate was closed, with snow piling up in the
front chin spoiler, and ice so slick all I had to do was tap the
brakes at the top of the pass and slide all the way to Spokane.  I had
discovered Rain-X by then, but it did little good as the snow simply
slid to the top of the windshield and piled up until it buried the
wipers, and then I'd have to drive using the rear view mirror looking
back through the louvers on the back window to see where I had been.
