Holy cow. Thats even more of a made-up story than we started with!
The only way I can imagine telling that one is in a dark room with a flashlight pointing up from your chin.
To call that one a "stretch" doesn't really do justice to it. All I can say is, "wow". Some folks really live in a different world than the one the rest of us occupy. It's like a cross between a really bad country song and made for TV movie. "I used to love RVing, until I overloaded the camper, and crashed into that short bus full of special needs preschoolers. Now I just can't get those images out of my head, and no longer want to camp." What the.......................
ROTFALMAO....^^^
The BC'er above that is talking about the Coq I believe. It is a big hill, lot's of problems, and almost always because of poor driving. I routinely travel it, as two weekends ago, at 28k plus.. but I was careful to look out for the school buses and Prius's (because it's common knowledge that they are dangerous in the snow/ice and shouldn't even be on the road).
Now that I bring that up, I should warn my neighbor about the consequences he could endure if he was in an accident in his Prius in the snow, especially since he knows,or should know, that it is a very poor handling vehicle in those conditions. A good attorney would tear him apart. I'm going next door to talk right now...
If your talking about me ( from BC) your wrong the Coqu is not the highest mounain pass in Canada open year round. The coqu is just a 4 lane mountain pass that no one ever slows down on no matter the season or weather conditions... The reason for the crashes up there is 98% speed... 1% Hwy conditions, 1% driver ability. You know..... if you slow down and dive for Hwy conditions .... there would most likely be next to nothing for car crashes... becuase they would be driving at 70 km/hr. However everyone wants to get to where where they are going when they think they should be there no matter the road conditions. Using the Coqu is not a good example, ever...on drinking skills..
Soup.
