Shonn, you can use your car as a snow plower since you car is lowered so low j/k ... I got lucky today cause I got nothing to do. I really don't want to get my car dirty.

Put my Jeep Cherokee in a ditch this morning. Just as I crest a small hill I notice a few cars already on the side of the road. I am creeping but it breaks loose and starts to slide, foot on the brake and it's still sliding, gaining momentum down the first small hill. It flattens out and i'm still sliding easy in the middle of the road but there is another hill lined with trees, telephone pole, and a few stuck cars coming up. I figure i'm not going to stop in time to avoid the hill and this is my last chance to do something before I slide uncontrolled down the next hill. There is a small field to my right so I decide to dump it in there. Pretty soft landing, just made it off the road completely but it's nosed in pretty good. Doesn't look like anythings damaged. As i'm standing with another lady who is stuck a car comes down sliding, a 180 and bam right into her car. I walked the rest of the 3 miles to work, wasn't too bad but i'm still waiting to hear from the tow company. It was scheduled to be out at 11:00 but they had a problem with one of their rigs so i'm still waiting.

lol, same deal here, I've got snow all around the SC past the bumpers. And since it is a bit more aerodynamic than some vehicles, the snow piles around it, rather than on it, so I had a lot of trouble trying to get it out. I'm also still running all-seasons. Currently it is -46 celcius with windchill, just great!
