Maybe u dont understand, My car will high center we have like 10 inchs of snow. I have to go down a slight incline for my driveway, than it go goes up. My speed3 was driving ok before snow got too high. I had to drive higher gears than normal while going slow to not break traction. Needless to say one of the cars is going as soon as it gets nice, and there will be a truck joining the family. I hate not being able to get around, and I've wanted to get one anyways.

I had bad cabin fever yesterday, so decided to venture to the grocery store. I have almost bald all seasons - hey, why not?! I actually made it to the store and back, but got stuck halfway into my cul-de-sac, which has a slight incline. Luckily 2 of my neighbors were outside and they were able to push me to my driveway. I won't be going anywhere for a while....

We have about 10in at my house but I move the car every day so it is easier to get it out. I got stuck trying to park at work today though. I had to move the snow behind the car so I could go backwards first.

I ventured out for another business meeting today. I didn't have too much issue with traction, but damn the semi-icy roads are rough. And Redmond needs to buy a damned snow plow already.

That is why my wife has a Suzuki SX4 awd and I have a snow car, hyndai scoup turbo 91. Angelica has been staying warm in my New garage for the past week and its staying there for the next week. Then i will take her out, to strech her legs. But not to much seens I have Summer tires.

But I have to say, I am very impress with the SX4. I had to go to tacoma, and I was going 45MPH on 512 and I-5 and the car was great!!! very good feeling of the road, specialy sence I was passing SUV that cost twice as much!!!

I managed to get out yesterday as well. I could get around just fine on the roads but the neighborhood roads I live on are 6 inches of ice. That was rough. And now we just got another 3 inches and it's still snowing! I keep wishing for 40+ degree weather to move in so it all melts!

By the way, my car sits extremely dirty in my garage. No snowbound car in my driveway!

When the weather is nicer, take it to an auto detailing place and they should be able to buff it out for ya. Might not be cheap but it will be cheaper then new paint.
