Big oops!!
 
I live on a dirt road that's pretty sketchy when it snows heavy. (long hill, couple turns, off camber top curve, no room at the bottom to get a run at it...)
Like this last weekend:

Now I've never been stuck down here, been a couple times I was smart enough not to try. Today was different, damsel in distress. Neighbor with AWD but crap tires.
And I screwed up, drove around her and stopped. Truck slid sideways with no input. If it was just me I could have hammered it and got through the ditch to drive out partway back down but...

Fortunately, with a shovel and a prayer, I got the Equinox out with the front end sliding downhill enough to rock itself out, then had room and drove the F350 out.

Back home all safe and no damage, but still had 2 neighbors that HAD to get to town. I volunteered. We ended up at the bar where my money was no good!!
