The mighty Prius.. lol
Remember the night that snow was falling in thick flakes? I got stuck on a 2 mile stretch of road for 4 hours. The Freeway was so backed up so I took the backroads which were equally backed up. Soon as the road started clearing up, I was hungry, tried to turn into a wendy's and the truck's rear slid out sideways and I was blocking two lanes with the side of my truck. Luckly people backed up to allow me to backup into the snow mound in the center turning lane for traction. Going forward or attempting to turn to straiten out the truck proved to be pointless on a thick sheet of ice.
