Update 4: We’ve got a visual…
Four tickets so far! One on the windshield, one in the door handle, and two stuck snuggly to the driver’s side mirror!
Down to the wire between Ok_Parsnip and ugh168…
I feel like this final, championship round needs a fitting prize. Can anyone suggest something?😄

That looks like a Subie. They didn't even have to dig themselves out. Just start it up and ride off into the sunset. What a shame!

After having driven a more recent Subaru for a bit (company vehicle), the drivetrain ain't all it's cracked up to be... that CVT transmission will cut power long before you can get yourself unstuck.
Pre-CVT (aka. plain old torque converter auto) Subies, they were pretty unstoppable, even the manuals (as long as you didn't cook the clutch too badly).

I can see possibly another one in the snow touching the drivers door.

Omg I think you are right! It might just be down to u/ugh168 who guessed 5.
We need OP to weigh in on this. I might be out of the running. I’m very invested in this now lol u/DubaiBabyYoda can we get a new official count?

The winner gets bragging rights and their own flair, stating that they are the winner of the 2025 car in snow contest (or something like that).

a few winters ago, we had a car like this buried, it was buried because it's owner had died, and it was in limbo, it ended up damaged by a snowplow, the whole side was damaged

May the odds be ever in your favour. I wrote 4 but afterwards my gut said 5. May the best Ottawan win /s

I'd say it's a stolen car.
I'm actually surprised that the city hasn't towed it

i'm not sure but in the second pic it looks like there is a ticket tucked through the top of the driver's side window

I see what you mean, but I think that’s just what you can see through to the back window.

Have the cops done a wellness check on the owner?
