Well guys, my beater is broken down "dang 5cent hose!" and it was snowing really good today before I went up to campus. I have a test today and so I had to go. No other choice than to take my s14.

A usual trip up to campus takes me 20min. Well just to get to the highway from my house today took me over 20min. On the highway traffic was sometimes at standstill and it took me another 30min. On the exit ramp traffic was backed up again. When I started to go onto the road right off the exit ramp there is a good sized hill. Well with my luck everyone stopped on the hill. When I tried to start back up all I did was spun my tires. It took me many tries and about 10 min. to get up a 750ft. of road!!! I was completely sideways going up this hill and I back traffic up like a mofo. I should of just wrote my proffesor an email I think...

Well, I made it too school where I am still at right now. How in the heck am I getting home now??!!!

Rubin,Thats why I never take that exit when it snows, peole get all kinds of retarded on that hill, take the next exit (Alexandria) No Cars + No Hills = No Problem :D Todays drive to class took me more than an hour. And since traffic was stopped on 275E I almost got stuck going up the hill before the 3 mile rd exit :eek:

I get stuck in my driveway all the time! If there is more than four or five inches of snow, I have hard time getting up and out of the driveway. My garage is under the house in back where the turn-around is, so I have to drive up a hill to get out of the driveway. Been stuck a few times! Sometimes I can just get away with shoveling the back corner of the driveway about two car lengths long, back my car up in the shoveled area and gun it. Most of the time I can make it out then! Even FWD can be a pain on my driveway.

Yeah my car is not a fan of snow at all either. My damn wheels break loose all the time. The firsty time it snowed decent here I got stuck going home from work like 1 mile from my house:firehead

Needless to say after 30 minutes of trying to get my car up this little hill, someone finally deceided to help my arse and puch my car up the hill. I was none too happy that day cause I had made it to work through the uncleaned expressways but couln't make it up a small hill in front of my house :mad:
