Garage
Several years ago we had a bad freezing rain storm. After a solid inch of ice was on the ground it warmed up just enough for it to drizzle rain so we had wet ice. It was stupid crazy slick. I idled all the way home. Going up one minor hill I held a 400 yard long sideways drift. I had to give it just a little power to go up the hill and that made both rear tires spin. Some idiot woman pulled out of a driveway and came to a stop in the road. There was no way she was going to start moving again especially after she gave it a lot of gas. I had to change lanes and drive on the wrong side of the road to go around her while maintaining the drift. . She finally slid off into her own driveway. Cars were in ditches everywhere. When I finally got home it was so slick I had to take little baby steps to stay upright. It took me an hour to get the cars up the hill of my driveway and into the garage. Fortunately those ice storm are semi-rare.
