I wasn't around last year, but I think we can safely say that yeah, that
guy is a complete dope. If the part where he parks in sand isn't bad
enough, this part surely guarantees him some sort of prize: "But the heat
in the van can't compete, it gets cold, and ice begins to build up on the
windshield. We somehow make it to the top of this mountain road and begin
our descent. I'm thinking, "As long as we're going straight we should be
okay." And then the car slides..."  All right Captain Genius! Driving down
a mountain road in icing conditions without chains! It's amazing how much
"bad luck" can actually be pinned on "bad judgement".
