I was considering "I might lose my watch as the strap is a bit loose" but thought it could blow peoples minds so decided against it.

Why didn't he break a window and dig himself out?

How was he in the car whilst it got covered in snow? What was he doing?

Bullshit IMO.

Drinking water coming from snow, no problem

No food, need about 1000 cals a day for basic respiratory function, so 2lbs of body fat burned a week would cover that, if he was tubby its possible

Sleeping bag would help keep him warm and snows actually a pretty good insulator

My issues is breathing, if the car was that burried how didn't he suffocate. There's only enough air trapped in snow to keep you going about 15mins after an avalanche and that's got more air in it than snow that's fallen and lay normally.
