Unhappy My Z's stuck in a snowdrift

I went out in the blizzard last night to get a box of tic tacs and I saw a huge snowdrift and decided to drive through it. Now my Z is stuck in the middle of the drift!

I feel everyone here at this forum is to blame 'cause you didn't warn me that Zs can't drive through huge piles of snow.

Dude, were you going through tic-tac withdrawal or something? I've heard of people needing cigarettes pretty badly, but this is ridiculous! You got what you deserved.

The worst part is I paid some tow-truck driver $150 to tow my Z out of the snow. He towed it out and just kept going. That was last night.

Where did he go? Do you think he's looking for me?

You are kidding right? So he just took your car?? Do you have his name, number, or name of the towing company? I really do hope this is a joke.

B-Zebra, The tow trucker probably did you a favor, by towing the Z out of snow AND moving it to somewhere save. There isn't mcuh you can do with the Z remain on the side of the road after it's tow out of the snow drift, still can't drive in the snow and it's dangerous of the Z and other on the road.
Since you called the towing company for the towing of the Z, and looks like you will need to call again to find out the location for safe keeping the Z.

Word of advice before you blame us for getting stuck....Jump on the computer, search for keyword "SNOW TIRES" before you wonder off into the snow blizzard.

This thread is a joke right?

I believe the Snow Plow option will be out in the fall of 2004.

I saw a red porshe carrera in the middle of a rotary ( we have these round circles of road in New England= we call them "R-O-T-A-R-I-E-S, they are stewpid methods of intersecting multiple roads--- they most often cause traffic chaos and accidents)....
Anyway.... a red porshe was parked in the middle of one today, covered in snow!!! I think he was enjoying watching others circle around him
hehehehehehe

Aren't you glad Nissan decided to not remove the antenna?

I need to find a longer one for when the ineviatable BIG ONE hits The Windy City!

As to the horrific amounts of snow you right coasters got, been there, and it is kind of beautiful.

Going way back, 1968, I think, shoveling 12+ inches my folks & neighbors drives into the evening, getting a good nights sleep, and awakened to ..........NO SIGN OF MY WORK!!!!.....THE WIND blew more snow obliverating all my hard work! At least I made a few more $s to spend on my slot cars

Hope you get moving soon.

You have more snow in Philly right now than we have in Vermont!!! Fortunately, my Z has a nice warm garage to rest out the storms in, but it's heartbreaking to look outside the garage window and see 2 feet out there and know it will be days before it gets on the road again.
Buy stock in the icemelt companies- I'm personally keeping them in business this winter!!
