Default Snowpocolips 2011

Work was called off today so after I cleared my driveway I went out and had some fun in the 2-3ft snow drifts.
Only the main street were plowed.
And I pulled a LR4 with a dealer plate out of a snowbank. The guy was a salesman picking up a employee from home because she could not get to work.
The snow at the end of her street was so deep he couldnt make it, a quick yank with my 200,000 mile DI and they were on their way.
And here are some video's from today.

And my neighborhood.

I got to break trail at 1AM so my boss could get home in his Silverado 2500. Great times. The kids in the Heep wanted me to pull them out too. What a POS. No tow hooks and nothing strong enough to anchor to so it is still sitting there.

Stormtrooper looks great. You are the man Spike.

That LR4 didnt have any tow hooks either.
I am amazed that they still call it a off road truck, it had street tires, no tow hooks, transfer case was in low and the Terrain Response had the thing lifted as high as it could and he still could not get through the snow.
