I take back all the negative SUV comments I've made. This evening when I left work, there was 6-7" of unplowed snow in the parking lot. I spent a good half hour trying to get myself out. All I could do was spin the wheels.
I was one of the last to leave. Fortunately one of the guys had some tow straps, and I got pulled out by a Cherokee. He towed me the 150 yards or so to the plowed street where I could make it on my own. What nice tow hooks the Jetta has (The Cherokee had none that we could find). I'll be picking up a couple sets of tow straps for both cars now. My average speed on the rest of the drive home was only 9mph. At one point I almost didn't make it up a slight incline, and had a whole bunch of cars behind me. Maybe I'll start shopping for an old Subaru wagon or BRAT for a winter vehicle. Dave.
