Talking U turn, Land Rover Style!

Well I was just really proud of my disco and myself, but more of my disco...
So yesterday I was on the way to school, with a couple of my friends (jeep guys) and it was 7:35 and school starts at 7:45. To make things worse there was a fender bender at the 4 way intersection... Not wanting to be late I took advantage of a 30 degree hill that was about 8ft tall and proceeded with a U-turn (all the cops where busy with the accident)... Its not really all that impressive, but I was just so excited about being able to somewhat show off my rover! (I know what I did was wrong and bad. I made sure that i did not make any divots, or fling mud) Thought yalll might get a kick out of it...

Cheers

No, plenty is imported each day from LA (lower Alabama) on all the tires. We actually can seldom get to the red mud, because of all the %$#@* highway construction. And down here near the coast we have a darker mud with salt from the marsh, that will eat paint off of any known pickup. Georgia is blessed with mud, incompetent politicians (need some more for your state?), boll weivels, and imported Yankees ( and we have a solution for that: Delta is ready when you are...), and good college football, which starts next week!!!!

The kind played with reckless abandon by 11 guys on one team chasing a guy on the other team, with malevolent intent... when the game was first brought to the University of Georgia, by a chemistry professor named Charles Herty, they played the Mercer Bears and beat them 50-0. Herty was the coach for the first few seasons. He also invented the modern pulpwood paper making process. So one guy brought college football and the paper mill industry to our state - and he should have his own state holiday!

Well the south is always a bit slower to catch on to things.

I live in Indiana and the humidity is bad enough I couldn't imagine living further south.
