The first day it rained with my truck running, I went hunting for muddy roads and ways to test my wipers. I found it funny. Especially when I found tons of puddles of water and mud then got scared I would get stuck and ended up not getting the truck muddy at all.
Heh, gave me a good excuse to rack up another 80 miles......

When I first bought mine I drove it for 2 winters in Alaska. I had a 300 lb sand bag in the back and studded tires all around. It would still break the back end loose whenever I wanted it to.
There are some nice sweeping curves in Anch that I used to drift through with alarming regularity. Mostly alarming to the vehicle next to me when I would go past them sideways in the curves.
I actually got pulled over one time by a trooper that saw me drift a turn downtown (at 10 mph) because the front end was plowing.
He suggested I continue straight if the front end plowed again on me then as I was walking back to my truck with the warning ticket he said; "By the way, nice turn dude."

Anytime I get a "New to Me" vehicle I can't wait to the first big snow - I get with a friend with a good 4x4 (That knows how to drive it) and go find a place that I can get stuck in - I screw around till I bury it a few times just to learn what it takes - Then I go find an empty parking lot and see how it handles donuts, power slides, j-turns and spin-outs.
I wnat to know just what it takes to make my vehicle do what I want it too.
