First of all please feel free to laugh as this was just pure stupidity on my part. I was taking my son to a birthday party but we were a bit early, so with idle time I decided this ditch would be a fun way to test out the new Range Rover. Of course I asked my 3 year old if he would like to drive in the ditch and got a resounding YES!!!!!

So we approached this not very steep ditch and went in slowly. Other than just making a really dumb choice in the first place I think my speed was my major problem. The ground looked solid but its was super soft. This is the result.















the end result was a bit of a hurt ego and a small tow bill for my childish mistake. Looking back it was a bit of a laugh.

 

I think a lot of us would like to say we never did anything like that...but

 

slight ego killer, in the end no one was hurt and it was kind of funny. You live and you learn.

 

Many years ago I was driving to work through a rural area and had to take a leak. I think it was the light rain that triggered my body's response. So I figured I'd turn off on a side road and just run in the bushes. Needless to say the road I turned down looked like it was paved but was in fact a dirt road. When I tried to brake, the car slid in the mud and got stuck in a a small ditch. This was before cell phones, so I had to walk back to the road, get a ride to a repair shop in the next town, and then ride back with the tow truck driver. The first tow truck also got stuck, so a second tow truck had to be called. You're right that in hindsight, since no one was hurt it's kind of funny. I give you credit for actually trying to go off-road with your off-road vehicle!

 

You'd have made it out fine with the right tires on!

 

You just need a little more speed next time. No reason you shouldn't have made it through!

 

this is BOUND to happen to me one day. its like seeing into the future.

 

At least you have not set your own truck on fire. Don't ask.



Feel better yet
