    yeah, got stuck for one minute, Rocked it out =).
    I helped a BMW 3s, down my street though.
    It was so sad, a guy was driving with 2 girls shoveling.
    The ending was even more jokes, once he got unstuck, he drove off and left his
    2 female friends to walk home in the cold.

    Actually, I left my car about 60M away. I didn't notice the guy LEFT the girls there until I got in my car. So by then they were 100M away, and my house was 100M in the other direction.
    Plus, they weren't girls I'd be interested in =p.

    I'm stuck too. My snowtech aren't gripping the loose dirt on the parking pad. Any suggestions?

    Tried these traction mat from Canadian Tire and they're crap. Someone told me to use cat litter in front of the wheels. And I can't find those traction aid from Canadian Tire anymore.

    I used my honda winter mats a few times when i first started driving. Now i just avoid areas i know i shouldnt drive. sometimes that is impossible for some people though and in that case, try not to drive alone.

    As a bonus, when you're done all the neighbourhood cats will come by and lick it up like a sno-cone!

    HAHAH ROFLMAO the guy just ditched them thats harsh but funny

    My gf lives on a small side street in richmond hill, they never bothered to plow her street, so on sunday I went to get dinner with her for the family, and almost got stuck in the snow at the end of the street, no big deal just rocked the car out but all the other streets around there have been plowed except hers... its ridiculous!

    I have not had the ppleasure of being stuck yet. That last storm we had was a bad one. All the major streets seemed to be maintained the best that they could in Barrie. The streets in the sub divisions were extremely bad. I knew there was at least one reason that i did not lower the car. I woul have been plowing the streets if i did.

    Anyway, got smart and instead of having that aggravation of being stuck, took out the Toyota Rav4 (Wife's).

    Have to say that i think the tires that i have on make a huge difference.

    I haven't got stuck (yet).

    Either my winter tires are the shiznit, or I'm just avoiding all of the truly crappy roads.

    I`m in Baie-comeau, QC right now and it just snowed almost a foot today. I went out driving 3 different times just to see how much it takes to get my speed3 stuck. The Toyos I got from the dealership must work really well, I`ve been driving through snow banks and all and the car just keeps going. At stop signs I even tried holding the handbrake and digging holes with the front wheels and the car still pulls out no problem with minimal wheel spin. Still have not managed to get it stuck.
