I feel your pain OP, if you don't drive it like a grandma in the snow (assuming you have summer tires or even regular, non-snow rated tires), its pretty annoying.
Got stuck at the bottom of my court a couple of times so far this winter
As long as we don't hit anything or anyone its all pretty fun. I need a set of cheapo steelies and some Blizzaks or something like that.

The car is on Blizzaks guys. The problem is... that there is about 3 inches of solid ice I was not anticipating there. Nonetheless, I got out and turned back around and went straight back home. Thanks for everyone's concern

What I find when I get stuck with my winters...
I drive backwards ala FWD to get out of crappy situations and give my neck a crappy situation instead!
I did a test and went up a steep hill with a sharp corner with ice/snow. I started at about 20mph from the bottom and only got up 40% of the hill until the back couldn't hold no longer. This was with lowered tire pressures to 25! So I turned around and drove backwards up the hill at about 10MPH. I made it 90% of the way up until I had to stop because of my awesome ability to drive backwards I was too closed to a parked car so I stopped....LOL. Wrong move as my FWD setup couldn't move up after that. I've used this method in parking lots a couple of times with success.
But if you're in the ditch...YOU IN THE DITCH Ssssssson!

We had Blizzaks on our 328. Those things still sucked when it came to ice. Studded tires for ice. That's been my best experience.Originally Posted by HaloArchive

Glad you were OK, Shelton. I could tell by the smile that everyone was fine.

Yeah, ice definitely sucks but your Blizzaks will stick to ice better than all-seasons. Glad to see you guys were able to have fun with a bad situation.
