Thanks for all the great comments. I'm loving the adventure of having a MINI. I did get stuck in the snow at a pull out at a historical marker along the road. I had stopped at others and not had a problem but there was rock hard ice under the snow and it was angled up back on to the road. If it had not been angled up I wouldn't have had a problem even with the ice. But truck of great people stoppe and they had a tow rope and was out in minutes. Got to use the little screw in eyelet for the front bumper.
As we hooked it up I told them doing something stupid and getting stuck was just part of the adventure.
Here's the photo of it. It doesn't look back but the ice is what sucked.
