So the GF was caught (by me) burning the front tires off my Honda during a stupid attack that hit as she was trying to climb the driveway at home which is steep, and was icy last night. The tire smoke was so thick I couldn't see the car at first except for the headlight beams. She was literally sitting there at 5000 rpm and moving nowhere for almost a minute. I reamed her out, made her get out of the car and I drove it the rest of the way. During the ensuing argument she insists to using "every trick in the book" to complete the climb, including sawing at the wheel "like I do with the Land Rover in the mud". Could this techniqe possibly work on slick ice? It obviously didn't this time.
