but the ice from a week ago was more ice-y and I didn't really have traction issues, just that scraping from the ice
I think it'll be fine because it's a fairly flat driveway and the tires on the car have decent tread, I'm just like, envisioning the snow melting and refreezing and then kinda crunching under the tires as the car sinks 5-6 inches into it and then the icy shit on the top layer scraping into it
I had to like just raw dog driving out of the driveway because I didn't think I had a shovel of any kind and the snow plow made like a big ridge of ice that I had to go over and let me just say that scraping sound going over it was not fun to hear. I'd be less afraid but it's not my car, it's my partner's, my car is all kinds of jacked up (and probably not driveable even if i fix the initial problems at this point since it's been sitting in my driveway for a year now, i'm sure the gasoline is sludge)
I think I took care of enough of that part, where the plow pushed it up (it was much less impacted than I feared, last week it was solid ice by the time I got to it) but idk there's a lot of snow between that and the part of the driveway I was clearing before I got tired
