My subie got stuck! :-(

I can't blame it though. We had a massive snowstorm yesterday. I drove to the local ski hill and had a blast. Unfortunately no one had cleared my driveway so I got stuck at the bottom and the top, twice each!

Notice the post on the left, and then the post on the right.

I did manage to get up last night. Only thing is, this morning the snow was more compact and hard so the car couldn't plow as well.

Word of caution > If you let the car sit bottomed out in snow that long it can cause some issues. This happened with my car a couple winters ago. The snow begins to melt since the underbody of the car is warm from driving and begins to corode some of the electrical harness lines. I had several problems with shorting out followed by overheating etc. Took lots of time and money to diagnose and fix the problem.

I vowed never to try drifting in 2.5 feet of snow again :wink:

Lee, trade you your car for my truck? I don't think we've had that much snow in WV since I was...well, before I even started school. Craziness. :lol:

No dice, we already have a truck (Toyota) ;)

In the second last picture you can see the path my car dragged, and the amount of extra ground clearance between my car and the Outback and Tundra
