wow I officially HATE winter , coming home I got stuck in a snow bank in my driveway, and I mean STUCK and neighbors looked on as I struggled by myself trying to get it out, took me a hours worth of pushing the car ( by myself while other MEN watched a female do this ) and rocking it between 1st and reverse and putting salt and sand under my tires, then pushing more to finally getting it unstuck and in the garage, I cannot believe not one guy out of the 4 that were watching didnt even offer to help, scumbags, im so pissed right now and exhausted and in pain, I think sprained my ankle and pulled a couple muscles in my back, heres a pic of my driveway after I got done with it…my arms feel like jello right now I can barely even type, work should be a blast tomarrow. oh and did I mention I cant walk, i might have torn my acl in my knee, prolly goin to the hospital. my whole leg is getting tingly, cant be good… /rant my car got stuck on the left side of the pic, where its all black ![http://c1.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/29/l_9008f11c36dc4c8f9aa1f7840a40c604.jpg](http://c1.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/29/l_9008f11c36dc4c8f9aa1f7840a40c604.jpg) ^^ mind u before this it was nice and pretty…now looks like my car had a serious fight with the driveway:squint ---

Sounds like a bunch of lazy asshats. For situations like this it helps to have a couple pieces of 2x4 that you can shove under the tires and roll back to get some traction that way. But sometimes you have to just brute force it. Hey, props for getting it out by yourself. ---

What kind of winter tires are they? I made it up my bro’s friends driveway which is a pretty steep incline in about 6" of snow and ice with minimal slippage. ---

A small shovel might help… I’ve been in a similar situation and was able to dig under the rear tires to get some kind of traction… Sucks that these guys didn’t help you though.

Are they dedicated snow tires or just “all seasons” I would have just ripped my floor mats out and jammed them underneath my tires for traction with the rubber side facing up… hey whatever you gotta do lol ---

At least you are home… ya I had a shovel, but the way that my car was stuck in the snow I couldnt get to the right front tire at all, it was buried in the snowbank, and most of the snowbank was ice, so it was useless, I tried everything, now I am in so much pain I wish I had never of tried to get it unstuck. ---
