I was driving one day up our ski-hill during a howling blizzard and had to put the chains on the front wheels to get enough traction. This means you can drive @ about 20 mph. We are slowly driving up the road when a Toyota Celica GT4 comes flying by and the passenger is hanging out the window yelling 'So long suckers..." and throws a ton of soft snow all over the car.

So we continue up the hill. About two thirds of the way up the hill there is a big cambered hairpin corner we call "Dunlop" that is exposed and often icy from the wind. Well it seems like the four wheel drive turbocharged 'so long suckers' Celica has charged into the corner and buried the car into the snowbank about four feet in on the inside of the corner.

My passenger turns to me and says "You reckon we stop?"
And I replied "How the hell are we going to help them out? We have enough trouble driving let alone trying to get going if we stop."
"Thought so" so Dave winds down the window hangs out the car and screams "Sucked in ya bastards, here have some help!" and threw a plastic spoon to them...
"Dig your way out."
