Dang! We're in a Tight Spot!

The barn probably isn’t burning around you, like George Clooney, but when your tires just aren’t moving forward or back, we all can feel like there is no way out. Try pulsing, like going up hill. When that doesn’t work try to rock the car back and forth. Pulse a few times forward, then put it in reverse and pulse again. This will build up some momentum, and might help find a spot with some grip. In extreme cases, sand, or a piece of wood under the wheels, will increase traction. If you are really worried about getting stuck, just make friends with some strong people.

Do you have any good stories about getting out of a tight spot? Do you have strong friend stories? On a serious note, do you have any tips for dealing with rear vs. front wheel drive?
