Default When it's OK that your wife stuffs her car into a snow bank:

When she starts heading down your steep driveway, and discovers that even with studded tires, she's got NO grip on the glare ice.. So instead of panicking, she turns the car into the deep snow to stop it. All of this without ABS mind you.

After I got done spreading snow on the ice, and roughing it up with my tractor, SHE drove it out of the ditch and continued on.. Gives me a warm feeling..

Yeah really... And if she panicked, that's what would have happened...

Took her a while, but she's finally getting good.. She's not afraid to make tracks in deep snow.....
