Put her in 4WD and had to go about an 1/8th mile in the ditch before I could get out. Can't see any damage, just packed the front with snow.
lol I thought you Rock County guys did that **** on purpose

And no, sorry no video, was just driving home from work.
funny that you say that about the Duratracs, first thing I looked for was what you had for tires.

I thought all you guys in the southern part of the state drove that way. Have you ever driven through Milwaukee in a snow storm? BTW, I live up near Appleton.

I won't say I didn't have fun, and there was a reason I was on the back roads to begin with

I drive like a saint and yes, a few years ago I drove my turbocharged Mustang GT to Milwaukee regularly because my girlfriend at the time was going to the UW there. traffic was bad when it was snowing but it was also bad when it was nice out lol.
