Remember this advice if you ever get stuck in the mud or snow!

If you get stuck in the mud or in the snow, don't make things worse by trying to force your way out.  Feel free to try gently rocking your way out, but if it looks like you're really stuck, don't keep at it.  Constantly shifting from forward to reverse, coupled with spinning the tires at high speeds, can cause big problems for transmissions, clutches, and differentials.  It may very well be cheaper in the long run to just call a tow-truck.  Also, it never hurts to carry a traction aid in your trunk, such as sand, gravel, or cat litter-- especially in the harsh winter months!
