my ITR is my daily driver also, but there is no way I could get it out of this snow (6 inches- so far)- not without destroying the front end.

Fool, you have to park so you back it out of your driveway, much more clearance in the back

As long as it takes to get the snow off so I can see where to go

That usually takes a few minutes and then it's easy driving keeping revs down below 4k until properly warmed up.

Ever think the reason why the PY got stuck is because it's dumped ? haha, with it that low you may as well put a snow plow on the front because that's all you're going to be doing when you drive it in the snow...

Yes, the PY has Spoon springs, they are really low, I don't know why. No, they are not cut.

Yea id think you would be stuck, considering your car is slammed and most likely are using summer only tires on those 16's lol.

I floated up on about 12 inches of snow one time driving in a parking lot. Wheels off the ground and I had to dig it out. Sucked ballz.

Nope, that's typical with the spoon springs that he has.

A4's do rock in the snow
