Default Got the car stuck

Got my SC stuck in a driveway last night.

My Mom has one of those super steep, narrow old school california driveways. I tried to cut it really sharp and just ended up getting stuck halfway up the driveway teetering on my left front and right rear wheels. Yay open diff!

Anyone have any tips for getting in/out of these?

Avoid steep driveways and park on the street.

Thanks for the tips, Problem at the time, was my front left was so stuffed against the frame, that I couldn't push it, It wouldn't move even in neutral. Had to get pulled out.

Anybody used this Meguire's stuff on oxidation? In the past I had polished with a buffer multiple times, and waxed, etc..... But the oxidation on a few spots always comes back.

I put this on, then wiped it off immediately, and oxidation gone!
