Well the big deal is that 14 inches is too deep for my car. I learned that the hard way yesterday afternoon. I came into work (stupid move #1). I was sent home around 2PM. No problem getting home. Then I decided to try to park in my spot in the parking lot (stupid move #2). I was so stuck that when someone tried to pull me out with a 4 wheel drive jeep the car barely budged. I did get out, only after they dug my car out enough for me to just drive backwards. Now having a brand new car I was not thrilled about him trying to pull my car, but as far as I can tell no damage done. My poor car has been through a lot in it's first 3 weeks. I've got just over 500 miles and that car has been driven in a lot of snow. Not to mention a friend of mine backed up and bumped the front end last Saturday. No damage, just bent the license plate. My poor car.
