Default Stuck!

Well, in a months time the C4 went from being a detailed, clean, garaged, pampered, good weather only machine to a rode hard and put up wet daily driver! Several things I've noticed..
Weatherstrip is in worse conditon that I thought! It hasn't been in the rain until lately, and we have had a ton of rain here in MO.
A lowered vette is not ideal for going up and down long gravel driveways! That's obvious, I know, but I didn't realize you could actually get stuck in a gravel driveway. Now I know!
I love this car, but I will be glad when I get my 4x4 truck back to MO.
(Next week!)

You didn't get stuck. I beleive you were merely exploring the physics of diminished surface densities. Glass is half full.
