I have yet to get stuck in the 4 winters I have had my civic. Driving through snow banks, unplowed driveways even taking it through farmer fields covered in snow. This little guy has never let me down! ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v738/rugsr/civic2.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v738/rugsr/civic2.jpg) What kept you from getting stuck this winter? ---

My EK has only gotten me stuck once in the 2 years i’ve owned it, and it was on a seasonal dirt road with snow up to the hood. I guess I got a bit overconfident. It’s a fantastic little DD:tup: ---

I have gotten stuck 4 times with my 2wd truck this winter even with 320 lbs of sand in the bed. First winter I have had a problem getting stuck. Next year snow tires are on the list for sure. ---

civics with ipikes are straight beast, i would take that over any setup. im rocking the buick with ipaikes and it isnt bad, but nothing compares to a lowered civic, unless the snow is deeper than the hood ---

01 Ram with decent tires. I intentionally smash into snow banks and crap to see if i can make it out. once I’m stuck in 2 wheel, then i lock it in 4. If I’m still kinda stuck, driver skill comes in to play and i get out. I haven’t been stuck yet. But if I keep pushing it ill find my snow bank that’s to much for my lil truck. Then ill call my back up. Most people get stuck because they don’t know how to drive. I love driving peoples cars out when they have been trying for 20 mins. I carry tow straps and chains with me at all time, if someone is in a ditch i stop and help. That’s the only good deed i do on the road. ---
