Chris,
The few times I've had traction problems with the GMC, the CRV has been
hooked up, so SHE got into it, and pushed the GMC with that AWD toy. It's
amazing how well that works, as long as SHE does try to steer. Once, SHE
even pushed me 5 miles to a gas station, up-hills and down-. SHE HATES it,
but will do it in an "emergency".
