Getting stuck adventures.
So, yesterday we had awesome amounts of snowfall. With my stupid little dying car I managed to get stuck a couple of times. However, the only time that I didn't have someone there to help was the worst one. And I was laughing the whole time.
So I was coming back from a friends and the parking lot in front of my building was full, so I move to the gravel pit. knowing that my car will be stuck the next morning, but I really didn't have another choice. Plus it was about 11:30 at night and I just wanted to go to bed. Well... I got stuck in the entrance into the gravel pit. The snow was to deep for me to get through.
I start pulling out all the tricks, trying to rock back and forth, except my car kept turning off while i was trying to switch gears. All I managed to do was get more stuck.
So I think that I'll put it in neutral and rock it manually...I was up against a snow bank and I couldn't get my door open. From the perception I had from the other side of the car, I had a snow bank there too, couldn't get that door open. Also my windows were frozen shut.
Because I am a horribly social human being, I only had three numbers of people in my building in my phone. My building was less than a hundred yards away, full of people who would be willing to help me if I could go knock on their doors.
So I try to call the 3 people whose numbers I did have. No one answered. So I call my friend Becca who lives about 2 blocks away. I'm pretty much laughing because it was honestly just really comical.
So while I'm waiting for Becca to get there with the shovels, an older gentleman was wanting to get into the same parking lot. So he pulls up, apparently I could have opened my passenger door. So him and 2 other guys help me get un-stuck just as Becca and her roommate show up with shovels. So after I'm out int eh street, they shovel the entrance into the gravel pit and I drive to a parking spot that might as well have been a snow drift and I'm just digging my car out later today.
The funny part that just added to ir, I open my door to finally get out and the snow is up to the bottom of my car...I was in flats and a skirt. No stockings.
Welcome to Logan, my friends. Welcome to Logan.
