Default Got stuck in the snow - alley in Boston

I was unable to move the car to the street before the two storms.......

6.30am Monday... The allroad at the end of the alley drove right out..

I drove my 2009 Audi A4 2.0TQ Prestige - Meteor 18" Stock Pirelli P6 out of my spot at 8.30 and got stuck in the alley two doors down!

I guess the car is not a snow plow! The 11" of snow in between the allroad tracks got all packed down and the car would not move - either direction.

A neighbor had to come help a friend of mine push me back to my spot :-(.

Luckily after I called the city they came and plowed the alley at 11am. I promptly drove out and found a spot on the street in front of the apartment.<ul><li><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/utollwi/2009AudiA420T#">2009 Audi A4 2.0TQ Prestige - Meteor</a></li></ul>

Default Lack of ground clearance is pretty much the only thing which can stop Quattro in the snow

Your car looks sharp, btw!

On the plus side, while your car may have been stuck for a few minutes, at least you know it looked great while sitting there :-)

That, and not having snow tires - they make a huge difference.

or a shovel.
