A 24 year old man is rueing his attempt to save some time.
MRC des Collines police say the man's car ended up in a snowbank near Cantley Tuesday night.
Not wanting to wait for a tow-truck, the man decided to use his skateboard to keep the gas pedal down, then pushed the car from the front.
Unfortunately, his car door closed and locked.
The high-revving engine eventually caught fire - and the car remained stuck in the snowbank as it burned.
