Yes, the wheelchair bound man totally deserves to have his house damaged for not going downstairs and helping push a car.
I remember the last time it snowed heavily near where I live, I noticed someone have trouble moving their car, so I went out to give them a hand as did a couple of others. Didn't know them apart from knowing they live a couple of houses away, figured if I ever got stuck Karma might smile on me and someone would help me. Haven't needed it yet though.
Here's a question, someone I know has just bought a set of winter tyres, on a BMW, and put them on a set of 17s, now correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the idea to get some smaller steel rims such as 15" and have a larger profile tyre? low profile winter tyres seem a but absurd to me! lol!
I had 225/45 17s on my Leon and you can get 19" low profile winter tyres.
If you want winter tyres on your 911 turbo, you need wheels big enough to clear the brakes
The price* is quite frankly obscene though.

18" RFTS on my E92 in the Somerset snow today which fell onto the already impacted ice was um interesting.
You can be the most uber driving god in the world but if you have no traction you are going nowhere. 2nd/3rd gear, no revs, slip the clutch, DTC on etc etc & it just spins.
RWD & the tyres just not being suitable for this weather means the slightest incline or stop 'if' you get going is a nightmare on anything but a cleared main road in this area.
Have filled the boot with loads of ballast & a spade & will try again tomorrow!

I have to say I'm quite enjoying RWD. I feel a lot more stable and comfortable in the winter tyre-shod E60 than in the winter tyre-shod V50.
That, and putting your foot down results in a drift rather than a loss of steering, makes it a much nicer place to be.
Perhaps it's because it's bigger and heavier, or that you don't notice the wheelspin as much?
Either way, the Goodyear Eagle(?) RFT winters combined with DTC are brilliant.

Point being, will it really make much difference with a low profile? Obviously it will be better than a sport tyre, but (brake disks allowing) surely if your going to stump up for a second set of seasonal tyres, it would make sense to have smaller wheels and fatter tyres, would also be easier to change as you can just swap the wheels rather than getting the tyres re fitted...
I can't see how it makes any difference.
It's all about the tread and compound, not how much tyre there is between the rim and the tread

You can still break traction with winter tyres. Quite easily if you drive like a nob.
Went to see Tron Legacy at the IMAX 3D today, called to make sure they would be open, said they were, drove all the way down to Cardiff bay and it's bloody shut.
Left plenty of circles in the pristine snow of their car park before leaving so that at least I could get some entertainment out of the trip.
I hear winter tyres make it harder to detect sarcasm though
I know he's being sarcastic, but it's getting a little tiresome coming from someone who lives in a part of the country that has only seen a pathetic light sprinkling of snow.
Whoops...................and another!

And the other people in the house?
As other have said being in a wheelchair doesn't prevent him from asking if the women wants any help. Instead he acts like a total **** and films her.
I love the fact that he is in a wheelchair now though. Makes him look like the victim.
For both parties involved.
Idiot who filmed her instead of attempting to provide help, be that himself or via proxy.
Women for not asking for help and leaving the car in gear.
