did anyone else see all the carnage on the way up the hill this morning? ... specifically the 5 series facing the wrong way that had clearly been smashed into after he abandoned it ... or the civic that was basically folded in half and all taped up w. yellow police/caution tape?

most of the time i wish i was still in school... times like these remind me why i'm happy i'm not =P but seriously i wouldn't drive off the hill if it was that bad... even w/ snow tires... the problem is the ice under everything... plus all those that aren't properly prepared sliding around using your car to help stop theirs >_<

ripped from a post in revscene (edit: doh, dunno how to resize the image)

RWD + SNOW + DOWNHILL = FAIL (honestly even with snow tires and chains i would not risk driving down that hill)
Yeah... it was really unusual. Just those two models + the M-class and one old Mustang.

4WD with low range.

It was a 2nd gen M-Class in black with 18" or 19" rims (so probably the ML550).
