The Truck's Stuck!

So we were in town the other day and making our way back home. Reuben was ahead of me in his truck and I followed with Jase in the Explorer. About 20 minutes into my drive I got a phone call:

Reuben: "Amiee, are you almost home?"
Me: "Yes. Why?"
Reuben: "I need you to tow me out of the snow in the yard."
Me: "What??!! (laughing) How did that happen?"
Reuben: "Well I knew you were behind me and I thought it would be fun to try it out."
Me: "Niiice."
Keep in mind we've got at least 2 feet of snow in our yard that has been sitting there for months...so it's nice and icy hard-packed snow.
Towing him out (even with my sweet 4x4) proved to be a bit challenging since our driveway is covered in about 2" of solid ice. It looked like my car was "ice skating" while trying to get him out!
After a few tries, we were successful! But we (ok, he) did have to dig out his back tires.
The damage...
