[Cliff Claven]

We live on a steep hill. When we had the "little" snow on Wednesday, I was driving up the hill, completely lost traction, and then, in a very unfun way, began sliding backwards down the hill. No steering, no stopping, no contolling it, it was like a real life nightmare, just gathering speed and watching out the back as I got closer and closer and then BAM, rear ended my own van, which doubles as my tow vehicle, that was parked on the street facing downhill. Both vehicles sustained plenty of damage.

When I explained the event to my insurance company, the claims rep was at first confused as to how I rear ended two vehicles at the same time, the she says, "You'd be surprised how often this happens." "Oh, this happens a lot?" "Well, no, not really..."

Here's the ironic part: I was going home to move the van off the street so that nobody would hit it.
