Mud=No Problem

Post by MrBean85 »

After going out for lunch today, I wasn't able to find a good parking spot on campus. I ended up having to park in the pit (large gravel lot). After 6 inches of snow last week and steady rain yesterday, this lot was pretty nasty looking. Several sections were solid mud and rutted out. I got a laugh out of all the people trying to creep around the ruts and mud. I just gave my girl some gas and went straight through the mud several times for the fun of it. She had no problems, and kept on going.

Now I get to spend the weekend cleaning the mud off of and out from under her, but it was definately worth it :D

Wow, I thought mine was bad! The good old red, Virginia clay doesn't really fly up on the car, it just kinda clumps down at the bottom.

yeah....the original hub cap fell off while i was driving, so i got the mismatched one from the flea market. I bargained with an old lady and she let it go for $.25... I would have got 4, but she only had a set of 3, and $.75 was a little too much money for me to spend :)

I was about to buy some WRX wheels for X-mas, I had a deal with the guy, but he split the wheels up and sold them instead :evil:

Now i have decided to save the $$ for a rainy day
