They should give you a shovel and the telephone number of a tow truck company!

X2!

Thankfully, here in South Jersey, the weather has been much warmer than normal with rain instead of snow. As such, I’ve been enjoying driving my S5 much longer than I originally anticipated.

I had the dealership order additional wheels and winter tires so they'd be installed when I picked up the car. That was a week ago and I haven't seen snow yet!

when I picked my ride last Dec, I quickly called my tire garage shop and drove very slowly to it
I remember that day being a sunny with no slow and temperature around 6 degrees (in Canada)

Summer tires can form cracks if driven in cold weather. From Tirerack.

Beautiful! Shining like new.

It's been raining here in CT all day. I hope to wash her this coming week.
