Finally figured out a trick for getting my car unstuck from that spring slop

After getting stuck twice in the mud near Palmer last week, I tried putting my floor mats under the front tires for traction. It worked on the first try and saved me a long walk. Anyone have other good tricks for that wet, greasy spring ground?

My cousin in Wasilla swears by kitty litter, but honestly, that just sounds like making a bigger mess. Floor mats are way smarter.

My buddy tried the kitty litter thing last winter and his car still smelled like a litter box until June. But like, is this really that deep of a crisis? We're talking about a little water on the floor, not a flood. I just kick the snow off my boots before I get in and call it good. If it really bothers you that much, grab a towel or something. At the end of the day it's just a car, it'll dry out.

Kitty litter just sounds like you're trying to start a clay sculpture project in your wheel well. Floor mats for the win, even if your car smells like wet rubber for a week.
