I did that once in a Ford Probe GT - it was so cool seeing the snow flying over the hood. Yeah, got stuck, but I got more than two car lengths into the driveway in about 20" of light powdery stuff. There was room for my then husband to drive in (he had 4WD, too) after me and then get out the snowblower.When I got home I tried to blast in the drive (with a running start) but got stuck; and it's a full-sized car. At least I was out of the street. Got out the snow blower, and then pulled the rest of the way in.
Exactly!No, it's the EU and US that are on the wrong side.
Meanwhile, if you want a great touristy movie to encourage you to visit, I'd suggest finding the movie Snowtown. Then realise it's a true story. Then realise that I work with the son of the Detective in charge of the operation, who's said that the movie just scratches the surface of what actually happened...
I managed to blast out of the driveway, and on the freeway hit 50mph until I caught up with the people who were to afraid to be on the road. Took two hours to make a 24 minute drive... because of the idiots on the road.
At the risk of sounding preachy, if your weather was anything like ours yesterday, it's not how fast you can go, but how fast your can stop. Perhaps those idiots knew something.
Today I went out on my bicycle to buy a newspaper and on route I encountered a flood. I have cycled this route many times before and at this point on the road there is often a large puddle. However, although I could see where the road surfaced, as I got further into it I realised it was getting deeper. The water came up to pedal height and I as I had committed myself, to stop would make me even wetter. I think I will give that journey a miss for the next few days until it stops raining.
Try this side of the word in CA it is so bad even the Congress and the President is checking out the weather here.
It so bad it only was up to 70's F and no rain or snow and for the year only 1" of rain. AKA drought

Here in SW Iowa, we've only gotten about 3 inches of snow all winter and no rain. We were in drought already, too, and this isn't helping. I wasn't here, yet, but last spring they got lots of rain and then very little from July through fall.
Temp-wise, it looks like we'll finally be above freezing later this week. Still single digits now, though.
As a resident of Iowa, are you a fan of Bill Bryson? I enjoy his travel books.
