If you drive in deep snow, that air dam piece of plastic will just scoop it up as you drive and pile up and lift your front tires.

That's the piece. It directs air up as you drive into the engine, without it the car gets pretty hot.

I got stuck only once and that was I had to stop to make a right on red and the right turn lane wasn't plowed - wasn't too much snow - maybe a couple of inches. I was only stuck for a minute or so - got unstuck and went on my way.

My monte will go anywhere with winter tires. Only got stuck once and that was in an unplowed driveway after we got 18" of snow overnight, lol. Seriously I drove yesterday and today in the snow with my summer tires on and didnt even remotely lose traction.
