Car stuck... who can help?

[kerry]

As per title, my car is stuck. In the driveway/half on the road. I tried digging it out a bit, but I blew my knee out last night and can't really push or do a whole hell of a lot.

I had two super nice dudes try and push me out but we got nowhere. We tried to pull it out with a rope, but the rope broke (it was only a thin rope, looked as if it was for rock climbing). My car is stuck halfway on the road and half on the driveway. Yes... quite the shit show indeed. Hahahaha.

AMA quoted me a 24hr wait, City Wide said it wasn't an emergency so they can't do a thing for me. Cash is available to anyone that knows a tow truck driver that can postpone his/her next stop to come by. I'm willing to pay the regular rate, plus a generous tip for the driver.

Anyways, if you know someone that works for AMA or any tow company and they can make a detour on to their next stop, give them my number. 4039939250.

Cheers... and hopefully your days are going better than mine lol.

Location??

Yesterday a lady was trying to back out of her driveway. Same thing, she got stuck on her way out as we were approaching. I stopped and was able to push her back into her driveway...

She then proceeded to tell me she was going to shovel her driveway before leaving again :rofl:

NW, Arbour Lake.

Where are you located?

If two guys trying to push got you no where, you need someone to come over with a shovel to chip away packed snow and ice around your tires


If the ice around your tires isn't bad, maybe go out there with some salt?

[spikerS]

if you are in the NW, when i get off work, i will bring my truck and tow chain and pull you out.

[kerry]

Yeah I can't really chip around the tires. My knee is FUCKED lol. And we don't have any salt here so I can't even do that. Pretty sad I know haha.

Thanks for the posts though.

well, you got lots of time to find an alternate way. I probably wont be in the crowfoot area till 10. i work till 9:30 in the NE.

but yeah, keep me informed.

-grab some wood and wedge it under your tires
-dig out the front and backs of the tires (if you can get down into your car to start it, thats more effort on your knee than shovelling)
-go from 1st to reverse (rocking it)
-you can get out unless the driveway and road come to an abrubt V (unlikely)

hey call me @ 8709246 i am in royal oak

[Dj_Stylz]

Werd if your not out by 7 or so ill come help you out. Let me know.

[LilDrunkenSmurf]

I live in arbour lake... I may be able to stop off after work (off @ 5..) but I don't have a truck, OR tow lines. so I don't think I could really do much. :(

Kerry,

I got stuck in front of my driveway last week and the car wouldnt budge.

I took out my big rubber floor mats and lodged them in front of my wheels, thats how i got out.

hope your knee feels better!

[HyperZell]

I don't have much in the way of equipment (okay, so nothing at all) so my only contribution is telling you to go watch the Polar Special of Top Gear. Try the deflating tires or lighter fluid and tires trick!

[kerry]

Hey guys. Thanks for the PM's and what not. I have a guy that might be coming with a tow truck and winch. He's coming from Country Hills so hopefully he'll be here soon.

If I don't get out then I'll write you back, but thanks to everyone who has offered to help!!

LadyLuck, you know you could always console me with a nice cup of hot chocolate and... well... you ;) (had to get my emack on)

You have an awd STi in your sig... I see those pull cars out of a LOT worse situations then being stuck on their driveway ;)

[benyl]

When I had the STi, I would pull people out all the time. There is a nice tow hook in the back.

[LilDrunkenSmurf]

I am more than willing to, if he has tow lines, cause... I don't =(
