Im Stuck

Yep, my car is stuck in my driveway with 1 1/2 inches of the white stuff. I tried driving it into the garage so i could shovel the driveway but the car wouldnt move, just spun the tires. Guess them warnning not to drive in the snow due to tread design is true


Ive put off putting on the Snow tires a bit too long i guess. So my whole day will consist of me trying to get it to the tire place to get the snows on


Wish me luck

kthanksbye

do you not have some of that driveway heat stuff that you pour on to the driveway? That works really good - but I guess you may not have a way to get to the store...haha good luck with that. Just wanted you to know its going to be 70 degrees today here

If those tires are as good on a dry track as they are bad in the snow, then your car must be sick around corners and sh*t... Just curious as to what size you're running? Probably it's been mentioned somewhere, but I don't recall...
