Yeehaw! This be me, kickin' it old-school redneck style!




I love the smell of burned clutch in the morning...smells like burned clutch.

The landing blew my front left tire, too, but 'twas all in good fun!

1. Meh.
That's a day in the life for me.

When you slide slowly down a whole MOUNTAIN of mud sideways, look me up, we'll talk.

7. In that case,
we're playing two different games....

Your game: breaking stuff.

My game: having a truck to give back to the boss at the end of the day.

8. uh, oh...don't break the boss' truck.
Although I've been driving one of these lately, and at $600,000 a piece, I don't treat it like my Jeep:



(but with 400 Mercedes turbodiesel HP and 6x6 traction, I've been tempted)

10. Me too
Friend of mine had a jeep, and a four-wheel-drive pickup. It's stupid, but fun. Tried it in my Monza once -- not a good idea. Luckily I had some really beefy friends nearby. About five of them. They literally picked the car up and moved it out of the mud. Not lying!

13. But the real question, darlin',
is how many half-drunk teenaged girls did you have along for the ride? That seemed to be half the reason guys went mud-ridin' back in the day around here - to give a gaggle of giggling girls some thrills and chills when there wasn't much else to do around here!

:hi:

16. actually, I was just kidding
I don't remember any girls being on those expeditions, though it's possible that happened a time or two.

But the spankin's still probably a good idea on general principle.
