Even if being an excellent driver is 90% of the equation, which I am sure is the case, that last 10% is enough to keep my car from moving uphill. There's no substitute for traction. And I can't get it. Running all-year tires doesn't help but I also think the w126 itself must be partly to blame... huge car, very heavy and with a heavy diesel sitting on the front end... it just doesn't stand a chance without chains and stuff. Which I suppose I'll have to look into.
