I have a friend that has a 94 GMC 1/2 ton. We put some goodyear MT/R's on it. He though it was invincible. After a few beers so did I. We went off road. Good time, some dents, logging roads. We came across a field. He wanted to do donuts.
Wasn't going to happen with these tires so he settled on a puddle. EXCEPT, this puddle had the chirping of frogs. USUALLY a PUDDLE has no life. If there are frogs around that means it is a POND. He decided he was going to go right through it. 2wd at first on the edge. We made it. I said, "I hear frogs, this can't be good (while having the window down)
before I go on I have to tell you what I was wearing. I work at a hospital, I have to wear decent clothes (nothing like when I was in the shop at Sears). I had on a collard shirt and tie, with slacks and what used to be black shoes.
Now, as I was listening to the frogs he stomps on the gas. 4WD right through this HUMONGOUS puddle(pond). mud, pi$$, and $hit are flying in the window all over me and his interior. I am hammered so I could give 2 $hits about my clothes. He is whining about his seats when CLUNK!!!! had to be a big rock. we are stuck, IN THE MIDDLE OF A HUGE ******* MUD PUDDLE!... with frogs
I am a calm drunk, he is an !diot. He puts his truck into 4 low and smashes the gas to the floor (meanwhile i am still too dumb to put up the window). The inside of the truck looked like it should have been tan from all the mud, not to mention the 2 inches of mud on the floor pans.
Long story short we had to call his dad to come get us with his Jeep Hemi. Honestly, they can't pull $hit. We BARELY made it out.
Moral of the story: Don't get your friend so drunk and muddy that he can't drive home and sleep on your good suede couch smearing mud on everything :grin:

I got a good one. Me and my friends went to go play paintball. Where we play, you have to go through some rough paths, and the night before it had rained.
So this kid is 19 years old, and instead of taking his care, he mooched his mom's van. O god what a horrible van. So there is about 5-7 big puddles to go through, although we know they are deep ruts we forget about it. So he floors it on this 93' POS Van, and obviously we get stuck. Half of the van is wedged down into a rut, other half on ground, van is supported by it's undercarriage. So we all get out and start pushing, and of course with our manly muscles we finally got it out. So I hopped back in with him to get it washed.... we start driving down the road and here clunk.... scrape... clunk.... bam. We blow it off till we get to car wash. We went to wash it and we see on the road a bunch of parts that just fell off the van lol, muffler, caps on tires, some metal peices etc etc. So yeah it was funny.
2 HOURS LATER. We come back with his car :banana:
So we try another road to get to the paintball area and of course we get stuck. This time it was with a Pontiac Grand Prix 03. We get out of car and find out car is propped up on a big @$$ log. Was a pain in the @$$ but we finally got off of it. And he cried and cried and cried :laughing: , he totally destroyed any paint on his car, and bent some stuffs.
MORAL OF STORY: Just don't go near anything remotely muddy with a van or car :grin:

My buddy from UTI had a Kia Rio for a rental car. We stuffed him (300lbs) as the driver, another 200lb guy as the passenger, and 4 people equalling 1000 lbs in the back seat (of course me squished riding ****). We beat the piss out of it. Kept slamming on the brakes, doing neutral drops, donuts, dropping from reverse to drive, etc. That was FUN. I guess I heard he got charged for the damages to the brakes, though!

i had a 1984 chevette. I cut off the "che" and called it my Vette. It was awesome, RWD, no power, but it had cruise control because the gas pedal would stick on the floor and it didn't have enough power to go over 65.
One day, after drinking 75000 beers, i had my roomate drive me to a friends house I told him to have fun with the car, do some donuts in the gravel, stupid fun ****.
When we pulled back into the gravel alley he half assed slid it sideways up into the driveway. i said, "let me show you how to park this beast." I hop into the drivers seat and decide I am going to jump the car into the back yard between a bush and a tree over the 2 ft tall hump from the alley into the yard.
I backed up, slammed it into D and went for it (8ft head start). I had to turn left at just the right time to get between the bush and tree. I made the turn at the right time but didn't account for the wheel. you know, because when you turn the wheels they stick out from the car? oops. The inside of the left wheel caught the tree trunk stopped me dead in my tracks, i slammed my face off the steering wheel, and the tie rod sheared its joint right in two.
my roomate could only laugh and kept laughing as I finally remembered where I was and tried to back the car into the alley and up into the driveway. With the tie rod sheared the left wheel was stuck outward and created too much drag for a rwd car to pull itself up a steep 8ft driveway backwards. the left tire started spinning on the concrete so I put a brick on the gas pedal as my roomate blocked the other front wheel. I got out and walked away, the tire just spun and spun and then pop. no, the tire didn't explode, the engine did. My favorite beater was dead :(

That is awsome. It reminds me of when me and a buddy of mine bought a pinto (yes I said pinto) ($100) and took it to his g-paws land out in the country. We made a few ramps with a skid steer and DID YOU KNOW THAT A PINTO COULD FLY? Man we jumped and hit everything that we could find. trees too. for the last 1/2 hour we were dragging the gas tank behind us. That was the only time if felt good about buying a ford.
