^ You'll soon start to hate this, too, my AWD friend.

It's a distinctly unsettling feeling to see the police/safety vehicle ahead struggling to maintain the speed that it's trying to set - and even moreso upsetting to know that you're stuck in a pack of cars which are not nearly as well equipped as you to handle the weather (and seeing them squirm and slide side-to-side, while you're tracking sure-footed ahead).

Most frustrating, when you otherwise know that you can just leave the pack behind, and be much, much safer, on your own.
