Winter is now here, bringing the challenge of getting your car released from the snow.
2) The straighter you can steer your car, the less resistance there will be. In a rear-wheel drive car keeping the front wheels straight also allows the rear wheels to push the car in the direction they intend. Obviously, sometimes there is no choice in this matter.
3) If you have traction control you may want to turn it off until your car is unstuck. This will allow the wheels to keep spinning if you are making slow progress instead of cutting the power as soon as they start to slip.
6) Keep your tires properly inflated. Make sure your tires aren’t excessively worn.

December 28, 2009 7:05 am at 7:05 am #928084anuranParticipantWhen I lived in the country and drove a pickup I always kept a few things in the toolbox for just this sort of occasion.
- A folding shovel
- A machete
- Rope
- A gallon of water
- A bag of kitty litter
Extra credit for anyone who can figure out what the water and kitty litter were for…

December 28, 2009 8:24 am at 8:24 am #928086happyOOTerParticipantA machete. Now, why didn’t I think of that…

On really cold days mix enough water with the kitty litter so that it freezes into a solid clump.

Last year we got away with it, but I guess not this one.
