Worst Drive Ever
We left Aspen at about 11:30 MST, and managed to get to Denver, about 170 miles away, by 7PM. Long, hard, slipperly slogs over mountain passes, and among horrible grinding traffic made what is normally a 3-hour drive a 7-hour one. Our expectation, when we got down to the flat land was that we'd have smooth sailing from Denver on. Well, we had smooth sailing from Denver to about 30 miles past Denver, where we ran into a huge snowstorm for about 100 miles. Then, we had snowy roads for another 200 miles, before reaching the next snowstorm, and then another, before a tiny lull preceding entering the nasty ice storm around Kansas City. Because of the snow, ice, slush, traffic, and what seemed like ill divine will, it took us 19 hours to get home.
Worst drive ever.

Once when I was driving the "Tank" home from work on I-80 at night in the pouring rain, my windshield wipers decided to go kaputt on me. Needless to say you can drive your car ala Ace Ventura style with your head hanging out of the window at about 35 mph. The real fun was when the nice semi-drivers would go by, from this experience I realized rumble strips are your friend. Worst drive ever.
