Yeah, the steeper things get, the tougher it is on FWD. I remember way back in (I do not want to say), I was moving my meager belongings up to Seattle for my first try at resettling to the PNW via graduate school in a first generation, stripped down Toyota Tercal (it did not stick that time, but did later). The car was heavily weighted to the rear. My then girlfriend (and now wife) was driving and I was navigating to my sisters house in the Mt. Baker neighborhood of Seattle. We exited I5 onto S. Columbia Way and made a (probably then illegal) left turn up the S. Spokane St. hill. The grade a little steep there and we hit a red light at 15th Ave. S. That was unfortunate. It was just steep enough to lift the little wheels off the ground slightly and we could not get ANY traction. LOL. There was some freaking out going on in the driver's seat, cars piling up behind us, and a little silver Toyota with its front end a little bit wagging from side to side. I jumped out and with the help of a pedestrian pushed the car up the hill (with my GF/eventually-to-be-wife urging the car on with gentle throttle. We did crest that hill after some grunting and I jumped back in. Nine years later we were married. Hah.
