Surprisingly, with both my '13 GTI and my wife in the '83 Volvo 240 we made past a very stuck Ranger 2WD on my completely ice-coated gravel road and safely to work this morning. Hooray!

Admittedly, with Pirelli P-Zero Neros on my car, I did have to hit the last hill pretty quickly to make it up, and still ended up in at a 30* angle with both fronts spinning, but dammit, I made it. Also, fuck not being able to turn off traction control completely. Stupid thing kept braking the slipping wheels trying to "save" me. I NEED MY MOMENTUM, CAR.
