Drove it home from the in-laws' house in a snowstorm, and stopped to help pull some stranded kids out of a ditch. The driver had lost control, spun around on the road, went through a ditch and a fence, and ended up in a muddy field. They were able to drive to an approach to get back on the highway, but weren't able to get past one last bump that kept them stuck. I had a tow rope in the back, and was able to get them most of the way out, but ended up breaking an end off the tow rope. Very nearly got stuck myself; it had been raining pretty steadily for the last ~20 hours, so the little bit of sloppy, slushy snow there was sat on top of mud. It was like driving on grease. The local law enforcement had shown up and was able to get a tow truck out there.

The X5 was covered in mud; it was fairly dry when we got home, so took it through a car wash; all better!
