At the time I owned a Toyota Corolla- BTW the worse finacial decision I have ever made...that car was awful in the snow. It actually got stuck in the snow several times going DOWNHILL!...
The Toyota got totalled in Haverhill by a driver who ran a stop sign....I got out of the car and I shook the guy's hand while thanking him!! Lol

At the time of the Blzzard of 78 I was in college...they let us go "early"....at around 230 lol..
