Mine is still in a parking lot 4 miles from the house. I drove 30 miles home, but couldn't make it the last 4. Got to a point the the road in front was full of sliding crashing cars, so I turned back to go to my parents and the road was blocked that way too, so my only option was to park the balt and call my Dad to get me home. He showed up not in his 4x4 but his Saturn that he got with his motor home and buzzed by everyone on his all seasons.

But I'm fine with the Exploder

Got her home safe and sound. On the way to get it, we passed a truck laying down sand on the hill in question, and funny enough the first car behind it was a yellow ss/sc.
Wonder how bad this year is really going to be for us? Deciding on if I should buy winter tires for the balt or a new used truck 2wd and winter tires/bags of sand for that. (Getting a truck by April anyway)
This will be the last winter the balt sees so I really hate spending the money on winter tires for one season.
