Also I heard that the window thing could be done but I have to find out exactly how. If I find out I will post back here as well.

I live in Prince Edward County, south of the Belleville/Trenton area. Mostly two lane 80KPH type roads, and some in town driving. About 35-40KM one way to work. Surprisingly, I didn't get stuck at all last year, and there were a couple of times I was pushing snow with the bottom of the front bumper on some of the city streets. Sometimes you may need to shut the traction control off to get started in the deep stuff. The traction control won't allow enough wheel speed to gain any forward momentum. this doesn't happen often though, as I only needed to do this a couple of times last year.
