So, I was driving home from work a little early yesterday and was taking the scenic route home. I ended up on a season road that was a "shortcut" between two others. I made about 1/2 mile when I started to think....can I get out if I get myself out if I get stuck? Nope, so I opted to back out (hindsite being 20/20, I should have simply turned around..). So I backed up about 2/3 the way, then miscalculated a slight bend in the road and felt the wheels start to spin, then nothing. THen I felt that horrible sensation where you feel the car drop. I was up on a crusted over snow drift and fell through until the bottom of the car was floating on the drift and the wheels were not engaging enough.
Thanks to technology, I call the insurance company, they call the wrecker who comes out with a long 6x4 flatbed and he pulls me out. No damage except for pride.
Still not bad considering this was the 1st time I got this car stuck in almost 9 years of ownership.
Always, funny when you ask yourself what you could have used to get out, straps, winch, chains, etc....A front mounted winch would have been the only thing to pull me out on my own. Common sense would have kept me from getting in trouble altogether, guess I was running a bit short yesterday!
