Police Needed a Hand

January 12, 2011, 03:59:06 AM

Snowstorm hit us Northwesterners tonight.

Heard a bang outside, Went to look and found one of these:

a Lynnwood Police Dodge Charger Sideways in the Street.
Had apparently been spinning the wheels all the way up the street and hit a small hill in front of our house and got stuck.

She Had already called for help, And a 4x4 Unit showed up just as my Father & I started helping to push.

The extra officer and us got her turned all the way around and she was able to go back the way she came, Then park in a parking lot to install chains the other officer brought.

*Side note:
Chargers suck in the Snow.

Most munilities will not spring for 2 different types of tires. They almost always pick one and on police interceptors it will almost always be a dry pavement performance oriented tire. Chains can be had for cheap and as long as you re-adjust them after the first few miles; you'll have a very hard time breaking them or having them pop loose (although I seem to be quite adroit at it :/ )

Example: Where I work they use Eagle RS-A's. Not the best tire in the 10" of snow that fell last night. Especially when you add that the cars are Crown Vics.....
