I didn't even see the mount about 1 ft high or so. Car would not budge, snow under the back end is lifting the car up somewhat and rear wheels ain't getting traction, cleaned away all snow as best I could, tried to rock the car 1st and then reverse, traction control on and off, no use, she is stuck. Gonna wait for some muslce power later to push it out. I guess as long as the car has forward or backward momentum of some sort you move through stuff, but if you get hung up or go real slow almost to a stop, well you are gonna get stuck. |
My neighbour's Honda Oddsyey minivan got stuck in the exact same situation. Little different in the sense that the rear wheels were stuck in the deep snow that was left by the plough and the front wheels are the drive wheels. Clearing away the snow and laying down some kitty litter on all the wheels enabled them to break free. Good luck.
Whatever you do, don't do this:
