  • Shovel the damn driveway!!!

  • @ndawg79  now THAT would have been really novel!!! I'll suggest it next time! LOL

  • Seems like the experts are saying it's all about the tyres... only really posted this on here because it made me laugh so much!!!!!

  • Traction is traction. You need some skinnier snow tires. Nice car though!

  • Thanks for tips - fortunately, we don't get enough snow to warrant speciali tyres - couple of days in the warm and it's all gone. lol

  • You have to admire his persistence... We had a similar situation, irony was the shop was shut on account of the snow so it was a waste of time.

  • @QROPS LOL!

  • It doesn't matter if its fwd, rwd, 4x4, landrover, a hummer or a Saab. Without the proper tyres ANY car will spin and get stuck in deep snow or ice. You can't design a car with normal tyres to have significantly better grip than another car on snow/ice. Its all in the tyres! (last winter I was overtaking stuck landrovers, landcruisers and various other 4x4's in my fwd 1L corsa with snow tyres)

  • set it in neutral and push.

  • It's bad to gun a car back and forth..

  • @dollypantry sounds good. LOL!!!! It sucks having to shovel. But he had to get the car in the driveway before someone lost control in road and got hit. So I get it.

  • I sure hope your husband realizes that all Saabs are equipped with WINTER DRIVE.

    the sport combi also has the all wheel drive option...prolly should have invested in that..

  • @chrisactor YAY! Go Corsa! I have a 1.7D and never got stuck in the snow just with a pair of brand new tires on the front. :¬) Couldn't buy snow tires anywhere.

  • @guizmo5555 they only grit the roads buses use or main roads the small roads and paths people are left to suffer but if we want a really nice road new tar mac no rubbish and no snow we can always drive outside number 10 downing street they look after that perfect

  • dont they have scrapers or snowblowers
