Are you open to the idea of just taking your car to Las Vegas Carmax, selling it to them, and buying flights back home?

Winter storm goliath. Ouch.

I mean, 18-24" between Albuquerque and Amarillo.

If you were going to have a contest to see who could drive through the shittiest weather ever, KK would be a serious contender.

Man what a disaster, T's and P's KK

Dugout DickStone · « **Reply #1879 on:** December 26, 2015, 07:55:19 PM »

I'd not even consider making that trip in that timeframe

Pete · « **Reply #1880 on:** December 26, 2015, 07:55:40 PM »

I think KK just has to hope that it will have all stopped by the time he departs, and that they have a lot of road crews working on it.

KK and his wife need to decide which kid gets to live, and which one they will eat.

Yeah, if you could pick the most snowy route to drive in the USA, this would be it.

You should document the trip. Start now, and save some of the travel advisories and snow estimates. Then add your pics and eye witness accounts.

You should drink while she drives

My wife is currently driving to San Diego. She left this morning at 4 and is nearly to flagstaff. New Mexico was rough and about an hour ago after they were by it, they closed I40 and I25 in Albuquerque.

KK is there a particular reason you're not coming back on 70? I-70 through Utah is the prettiest drive in America.

Kat Kid · « **Reply #1897 on:** December 27, 2015, 11:32:39 AM »

Not very good ones.
