Need the help of some strong clubmembers

I need a few strong ppl to help me push my Civic up the driveway and into the wharehouse at my office. I know it's asking a lot and it's a PITA, but I really have to move it and before we get some more snow. Any help is appreciated and drinks or some McD's is on me. Please let me know if you can help. It's an EF hatch so it's not a heavy car really. Let me know.

build up some momentum off the road and go up the driveway!

I pushed a teg up with my neighbor alone no problem.

I bet you didnt even check the main ignition fuse like I said??? Its just a civic, there cant be anything seriously wrong with it for it not to turn over... Fix the damn thing!

if not, just tow it, even with another car and a peice of rope, if your going up hill its not going to mash into the back of the tow vehicle... I towed my civic out of the ditch, after the first snowfall by myself with our 99limited cherokee... Piece of cake dint damage/scratch a thing, the truck just at idle poped it right out, therefore any car could tow a civic a few hundred feet effortlessly up a driveway...

Seriously though Sean,

I don't think you could get enough dudes to fit on the back of that hatch to push the car up that driveway.

That incline is a short steep mother, almost like trying to push a car out of a ditch.

you're going to have to winch it up to something, and push it to get that thing out, unless you use a tow truck or something.

good luck

:working:
