Basically....yes

We got it out last night, after a lot of digging, etc it got out of that spot...the plow truck at my apt had the car buried on the back and sides as her car was the only one sitting yesterday - good times.

Thank god the roads were fine today - its sitting in the warehouse at work melting and snow tires will be on it tonight and then maybe we can actually use the car more than "sitting in one spot covered in snow"

I actually like driving that car - it runs super smooth....curious to see how it will go in the snow with good tires. Unfortunately looks like 40+ degrees for the next week and more possibly - usually how that always works
