Just as an aside I drove my 2010 450h a lot during our recent ice event here in Portland Oregon, and on one occasion I approached a dedicated right-hand turn lane with a bit too much gusto. Turned the wheel, locked the brakes, and wham!--the left-front wheel whacked the curb and the entire car bounced back to the right. Some damage to the wheel rim, but not obvious without close inspection. I mention this because I took the car in to Les Schwab for an alignment yesterday and it was still spot-on.
These are apparently solid cars. My curb contact was not gentle.

Nope. Ten minutes later, however, conditions got even worse, and I put on chains. After that, we were invincible and got to where my wife was stranded by going on snowy back roads and avoiding the gridlocked main roads.
