*update*
Being the genius that I am, yesterday I went ahead to try drive up the lakemont boulevard with my pos corolla......
Horrible idea it was, I was stuck in the middle of the hill.
Some guy with a jeep was trying to push me up but I ended up overworking the engine.
White smoke was coming out and I knew I was screwed.
Cops came over asked if I have a cellphone, I said yes, and he told me to call tow truck and left.
I waited for the engine to cool down a bit and somehow managed to do a 180 on the hill.
Drove back down and got my ass back to my friend's home.
Not going to drive in the snow AGAIN, lesson learned.
