Well what I almost had was a heart attack when I grabbed my wife's sled! So this was the only time this year we actually were able to ride them because I've been so busy with that stupid truck. But anyways I usually grab hers from her just for a few miles to "really open it up!" Well I'll be damned if that damn thing didn't just grab traction and instead of throwing up big old rooster of snow up in the air! And I just jumped off my sled and hers is 9 inches shorter than mine!
