Embarrassment

So I have my stock 93 F150 4X4 with street tires (my dad uses the truck for trash hauling before it became mine so it has cheap tires on it). Im just messing around on my firneds land. There is this one passage to get to the other side of the land this passage is a big mother of god mud hole. So Ive been through it on a lifted rig and it does fine but mine on the other hand isnt. I know this so I go to drive around the hole and I start to slide into it and get in there so I know if I dont get on it and power myself and get moving Im going to get stuck. Im doing fine and peachy on it and Im pulling along and get pivited on a F****** rock. Shred a tire like off the rim. and I have to get a GMC to pull me out. So sad. so so so sad. Im still getting hell for it. Ill get some pics on here as soon as I can.

Anyone else had a bad moment as such as mine?

shopping carts ARE fun until you have one bounce off a curb and smash into your quarter panel and put a nice wave into it. or until you do like whiskey did and lose a wheel and do an endo with a person onboard. roller blades can be fun too, but my buddy found out that after about 35mph the wheels come apart. whiskey- you need to get yourself a better set of tires on that thing. those look almost bald. i found out the hard way what that can do, got my dads chevy stuck and it had front and rear locking diffs from the factory. if you dont got decent meat, your not going anywhere.

Shopping buggies are not fun, infact I hate every one of them I see in the parking lots. A few months ago, I pulled out of my space in walmart, not realizing there was a buggy in front of me. Since the F-250 sits up fairly high, the buggy went right under the front bumper, wedging itself under the bumper and front axle. I spent a good bit of time with the few tools I had with me ripping the damn shopping buggy out from under my truck in the cold rain. I should have just kept going and drug the cussed thing till it fell out.

I got my 84 buried in mud so bad, my buddies 93 GMC fullsize with 35s couldn't move me. I was forced to call for a wrecker to winch me out, it was an Isuzu! Ooh that hurt!
