Haha that's pretty funny....

Love the paint on the car though... be a shame to mess it up as its the most expensive thing on there

[M0DEL]

Looks fun! (:
Spill your drink? lol
When I was in Oklahoma it was the thing, but i'm sure my little POS beater teg wouldn't make it, haha.

[Tmaxxn3]

Ha, reminds me of when I took my old car mudding. 1994 Oldsmobile Eighty-Eight. ~4000lbs, FWD, 200ish HP. Fun as hell, sliding around, doing doughnuts, hitting bumps and launching the car into the air, FWD burnouts, that car was pretty quick for being such a boat! The Civic looks like it hardly touched the mud! I was in the mud for 20 minutes or so and the car was COVERED!

[suicide_star]

well, at least he didn't have an open element intake to dirty up. (or anything else aftermarket under the hood) =P looks like ya'll had fun though, and why not take your truck?!?!? O_o it's a TRUCK....it's made to get dirty and destroy things.

[imnotmikal]

I swear to whatever higher power you may or may not believe in, I've seen that car before.
Where do you live.
Or, if he bought it painted like that, what state was it bought in?

[Action B]

I've always kinda wanted to do that in my 96 Talon Tsi AWD, but i probably wouldn't ever do that my baby.

[texan_idiot25]

That's not mudding, psh. Puddle spasher!

BTW, clean that muffler... The heat will bake the dirt in permanently. Ask me how I know.

[KITT222]

Tex, I assume you know when either you did donuts with the "Slowbird" or it has something to do with the grime on the side of your CST/10

I've always drempt of doing something like this, except with my dads girlfriends Corolla, and maybe a 2" lift. or take a crappy car such as a beaten down VW Beetle, a rented Mercedes-Benz, a limo, an old Dodge Monoco (the one that was the Dukes of Hazzard sheriff vehicle), a Chevette, and maybe a Saturn.

it aint muddin' untill you have to break out the plastic putty knife before washing it.....

muds for chumps though,you havn't lived until you've ran an '81 granada through a cornfield(full of corn mind you) full throttle.
hope you don't like windshields........

[texan_idiot25]

Or until you have so much clumped in your wheel, it's about a pount off balance. Or so much stuck on the fender wells, that it every now and then drops a base ball sized chunk on the driveway... For several weeks. That you got a letter from the Home Owners association because the street isn't clean enough after washing up the trucks... OR the part where the truck was so stuck that the long tube headers were below the surface of the mud. And thus, 1000 degree heat baked the dirt into the metal.



Half inch thick layer of mud on err-thing..

Bondo, share the story of that Granada

[Tmaxxn3]

haha yeah its how we mudd in our city theres big mudd hole out back of town but its juat pointless b/c we would get stuck..the car was green and was bought in wv they redid it and painted it them selves the car is in ohio now just accrost the river. AND TAKE MY TRUCK??? ahahah your dumb kinda no offence my truck does not touch mudd i like my truck clean to much time and money in my truck to tear it up i tend to take care of my truck... and well hit bigger holes nextime.

well.....
it started off like most of my truly fun car experiences.
i was on my way to the junkyard...........
back then the local yard gave ya $65 for any running vehicle and $55 for non-running.
the granada was on it's last leg due to a wreck and i had just bought a nice little '81 cutlass brougham so off to the yard we went.(me and my buddy brad)
brad came up with the idea that it would be fun to jump the via duct in it one last time and i thought "hell yea".
the only problem was that the via duct was about 6 miles in the opposite direction of the yard.
luckily there was a "T" in the road with a cornfield on the other side and i knew that on the other side of the cornfield was a similar "T".
to the right was the yard,to the left was the duct.
so,i sped up from 50mhp to about 65 and once i hit the first row i floored it.
all was well until the windshield caved in and we started getting pelted with ears and A WINDSHIELD!
steering was pretty poinless at this time because windshields dont cave in m,ultiple pieces..........one big ol' windshield sittin in our laps.
forgot about that tree in the middle of the field and plowed into it.
luckily the corn had slowed us down to about 25 by the time we hit....it still hurt....
so now were sitting in the middle of a farmers field with a row of plowed corn leading right to us,no windshield, the front pass. side qaurterpanel is pushed back onto the tire and the hit must've jarred the tranny cause i had no forward gears.
not good.

grabbed the 2" chain from the trunk,wrapped it around the tree,through the grill and well placed kicked in rust hole and gunned it in reverse.
pulled the bumper off but got the fender off the tire.
no longer stuck i simply threw the bumper in the back seat window,folded the windshield into the backseat and drove in reverse out of the field(much slower this go round,only cracked the back glass) and then reversed the 4 or so miles to the yard.
did'nt get to jump the via duct like we wanted but on the plus side,the guy at the yard said that it was the worst thing he'd ever seen driven in......
imagine the most beatup body that you can.......this looked similar to that.
anywhere that wasn't falling off the car was so beaten and battered that it was hard to tell what part it was.
so i basically pulled up(in reverse) with a bumper hanging out my back window windshield in the backseat hardly any glass left intact and a body that looked like it came from the tigers training camp.


you asked

[winner]

lmao! i'd like to have been there when you explained what happened to the farmers corn

luckily we got our ***** out of dodge before he showed up.
the farmers up there tend to get ****ed about stuff like that.
on a seperate occasion i was riding my snowmobile('94 VMAX) around and ended up in an open field.......i ripped it up.
i mean there wasn't any fresh powder left on this particular patch of field.
brand new high performance sled(Vmax was the **** back then) and 2 square acres of fresh powder....what would you do?

i go home and park the sled,clean the ice and snow off of it and as soon as i put the cover on the farmer of that field pulled up in my driveway.
apperantly the super slueth followed the sled tracks.....
he *****ed until my dad came out,got into a tiff with my dad(**** near came to blows) and continued to raise hell until my dad agreed to pay for the lost crops.
come to find out, it was winter wheat and supposedly by ripping it up,i killed about 10k worth of crop profits.

lesson learned,never plow a field and leave a track straight to your own front door..........
drive it to your buddies house and then follow the road to home....

lol have they ever heard of a thing called a fence?

i doubt they were expecting a combine in the form of an '81 granada..........
in the case of the winter wheat,there was no fence.
it was an open field.
given the same sled(specs of 75MPH+) and opprotunity, i can garuntee that most of you would do the same thing....

[FloydfanYodaman]

and if u r gonna go muddin, lets really go muddin...



it wasnt so bad til i balked at a mud hole and my wife called me a pu$$y...it was all over after that...

See, the only thing I can do that with is the laser. But light weight and low ground clearance combined with crappy K-Car build quality means I wouldn't even make it to the tree before that car fell apart.
