 Got the AWD Vue stuck
Found out tonight that the almighty Vue can get stuck. We finally got a good amount of snow (about a foot and a half) so I decide to take it out for a spin. I take it down some back streets, slide around a little but soon get bored and decide to take it on some unfinished roads which were not plowed. No problem, took it down and back a few times, had the Christmas music playing on the radio and everything. Head onto the back streets and down into a new subdivision where there are a few houses and the ones that are there are just being put up. I drive down into a court and decide that it's a great idea to take the truck over the island thing in the middle. Suprisingly, I make it through, even with some pretty big banks of snow around the edges and a good amount in the middle. At this time I'm thinking that there is no way I'm gonna get this truck stuck tonight. I line the truck up with the biggest part of the snow bank on the island and give a good little run at it. Everything seems fine until I slowly lose traction and end up finding my way down into the mud. The front end is in this great big pile of snow. I work at it for a little while before I give up and make the hike to a friend's house that wasn't too far. He had a couple people at his house and he called a friend of his up with a Jeep. They head down with me to where I got the Vue stuck in the snowbank and we end up just pushing the thing out while giving it enough gas to get the back wheels moving.
Best part of it all was that after we got it out we ramped the thing some more. I'm just gonna add that the 4WD Jeep Grand Cherokee is quite a bit better in the snow than the Saturn. It made my night when my friend told me I should get stuck more often at the end of it all.
