I'm on my way to friends' party in the countryside. Dressed comfortably but still chic - nice black leather boots, leather jacket for a chilly evening and matching leather skirt.

Almost there, but in the last few miles road becomes less appropriate for my rear wheel low suspension BWM. After a minute or two, I end up in a secluded muddy area, and the car suddenly stops even though my foot is still on the gas pedal. I briefly try pumping the pedal, but the car doesn't budge, and it's pretty obvious that it's stuck. After some more attempts of driving back and forth, I decide it's time to get out to inspect the situation. Hoping it will help, I try to push the car free from the front and the back for a couple of minutes. With boots sliding in the mud, I even fall a few times and get muddier as I keep trying. I have this great idea to use my jacket as an aid - I lay it down at the back of the car and step on it to get better traction for my high-heeled boots in this thick and slippery mud. I have mixed feelings as my beautiful leather jacket is ruined, but I feel so desperate and afraid to stay on that field that I decide to sacrifice my jacket for a good push. My efforts are hopeless and alone I'm too weak to move the car. I get back into my car to try again. Maybe an aggressive punch of the pedals will help?
