Hmmmm, burnt popcorn. This wasn't a sulphur smell was it, maybe from over fueling and loading up the cat converter?
Check for the smell tomorrow before and after driving normal.

Yeah, I'll look for signs when I'm driving. But when I went to check out my 4wd the smell didn't come back and the smell went away after i mashed the gas going up the driveway. The main reason why I was mashing is because I paniced and didn't want hit my brick mail box behind me.
Here is a pic of my blazer in the driveway, it isn't that steep.

Probably just from driving too fast, I kept sliding when I was going slow my driveway was glazed thick as hell. I almost busted my *** a couple times just getting in and out of it. I was almost going up my front yard and then when I was sliding back I was getting close to my brick mailbox. Putting salt down today though, because its 33 degrees raining and it'll probably freeze over.

Wow you need to just go up it ALOT slower! take your time and don't mash the gas! The way you were describing it it sounded like it was a steep driveway with alot of snow not a small incline and ice. How long is it? Go at it with enough moment to make it and be very lightly on the gas so you don't spin the tires. No matter how hard you try your never going to catch traction on the ice.

I have to say I am very shocked to see that your driveway is no steeper than a curb. It must have been some serious ice.
