I've gotten Hornbeam stuck more times than I can remember.

If you want embarrassing, how about the time my friend and I got it stuck in mud and then pulled it out with a 2WD '87 Tercel? The '87 (with the lovely 3E engine) was on drier ground, by the way.

I ot the Terc sideways at 55mph on dry pavement yesterday. Luckily I had 2 friends on the inside side, so it was a great lesson in drifting control.

I took a friend through a construction site mudhole that was 6 inches deep with my bad tires. Went right on truckin through. Key things- Do not take sharp turns, DO NOT STOP!!!!
I had baseball sized globs of mud on my roof... That was a very memorable moment.

Typrus....

I'm just wondering what you are going to repair next...what with jumping ditches and getting sideways on dry pavement....will it NEVER end??????

B)

Of course I've had my fun here and there...but I'm still here (sort of) to tell about it..... <_<

I typically go 5 over. There are select situations where I go fast enough that the car scares me. Believe me, when you do not want it to happen, its terrifying to suddenly be facing the wrong way. Its fun as hell if you mean for it to happen though. The good thing though is that I've been properly educated on how to brake and steer right in a skid situation. For that drift I did, I seriously doubt I'll be doing that again in this car. That was not natural. Good thing is I have crappy tires, so they give out before the higher C.o.G. starts moving into a roll.
Jumping will advance further once the new springs and shocks/struts are in.

My alignment is not changed at all. My camber hasn't changed. I HAVE scraped my exhaust pipe heat shield though. I see absolutely nothing else scraped or bent underneith. Again, these cars are far stronger than might be thought.
