    Here in central Michigan we just broke a record for 45 inches of snow in the month of January. My cars been really really good in the snow but I got stuck last Friday in my drive way in a huge drift and got yanked out by my dad by hooking up from the back... But we just got another foot today and I'm stuck again. But the thing is I'm backed up by our 5 foot snow pile of our snow that we plow so getting pulled from the back isn't an option. I looked In the front of my car and there is NOTHING to hook a strap to because of the plastic air dam (04 gt2). What have you guys done to get unstuck... My dad has a 4x4 truck and straps I just don't know a safe place to hook up.

    A shovel and you get to be good friends.

    Dig yourself out and you'll get enough room to get yourself going and plow through.

    I run nice snow tires on mine...

    Other than that, lower control arms are the best place for tow straps... hope your dad has a low spot to hook up to so you dont hurt your bumper.

    or call a tow truck with a wheel lift type hook up.

    if you use the truck you need to keep the tow rope low to the ground, or real long or its gonna pull up on your bumper for sure.

    In addition to the comments above, make sure whoever is pulling you takes the slack out and pulls gently. People love to get a running start and "pop" the person they are pulling. On vehicles with purpose built recovery points you can get away with it some, but it is a terrible idea otherwise.
