I raise with my afternoon:
Ppl can't drive, slammed brakes when drove to snowfall and then 95kph->40kph, nothing can't beat stupidity of man.
I cruise my normal 88kph without any trouble, just those slow blokes stopped me from enjoying proper driving.

My car on Monday morning:
Not much, but at least it was
nearly worth having fitted snow tyres in the autumn ...
It conked out on the way back to Bonn in a snowstorm in the Hunsrück mountains

A squirt of WD40 and a wobble on all the plugs did the trick, but I've ordered new leads / plugs / dizzy cap / rotor arm just in case ...
