got stuck in ice today...

[240marcuSX]

yep, went to the salvation army to contribute old clothes for a tax write-off, and sure enough, got stuck in ice, took me about 20 minutes to get out, but i did it on my own, because 240s have balls!

it was pretty strange going 5 mph with the speedo reading 15 mph in second gear at 6k.., all that drifting and other reckless shenanigans actually help out in the ice, because now i know just how my car behaves without traction, who'd of thought?

just sharing

Should have pushed and saved 18 min...unless it was on a hill....

no hill, 20 minutes including getting stuck, going inside to give my old clothes and get receipt, asking around for anyone with a truck, calling my friend mike to come pull me out, and then saying F it and got a pretty good technique going to get out. but i did try to push, that was going nowhere.

i've been stuck on a snow ridden hill for a few days now. gonna try to get her off the hill once more tomorrow, if that doesn' work, i'm calling a wrecker

Try the reverse-to-forward method nextime. You rock the car back and forth and gain some mometum, it'll help a little when you dont have anyone to push. I had to do that this morning to get over a pile of icy snow that somehow ended up in front of and behind my car (damn neighbors).
