This morning, I explained that I had to take my wife's car to work because my car was stuck in the snow. I decided to head home early, work from home and try to get my car out.
I shoveled out the back of the car (the car is rear wheel drive). Scrapped the ice from under the wheels and began the cycle of going in reverse.
It didn't go out, so I rocked back and forth. As I did that, the car began shifting horizontally again.
As you can see from the image, the right side of the car, is once again, stuck in the snow.
I think I will wait it out another day and take my wife's car to work again.

all that money on the flashy car and you can't even get the #$%^&*$#@! thing out of the snow...
just goes to show you...your better off with a tried and true jalopy that drives like a tank...no worries no hassle....
so you don't have a friggen surveilance system and navigation system in place that senses every time you have to sneeze or worse.....
at least you can get from point a to point b....
I say..ditch the car!

Yea, this is my middle age crisis car - way before I hit middle age.
I won't be getting this car again. Good thing I got my wife a Jeep. ;-)

Love my Camry!
Front wheel drive rocks.
All wheel drive better.
Rear wheel drive gives you all that power you can't use under normal driving conditions.....

Hey Wife,
Didn't Barry just mention earlier that he actually got the Jeep for you....

Oh I forgot...surely, cuz you actually let him drive it for a day..so that he could get to work and make some money for the next Jeep.....;) ;) ;)

Thanks Judah - you tell it like it is. ;-)
Does your wife know that you comment here? Can I show her this post of yours?

I would just like to point out that driving is pretty immoral. You should consider cycling or taking public transit.
