Absolutely! I would have felt sick. Probably after 3 minutes, let alone 30. I wouldn't have risked my health for a 'joy ride'. Holy CRAP! Just went back and read your thread about how bad your back/shoulder pain is/was on 10/17...and re-state: wouldn't have tried such "fun" in an SUV with back/shoulder pain.

Something against his age? Nope. Just that a 20 year old really can't have the experience you would think to make such fun safe.

I am greatly against stupid acts that lead to death, dismemberment, and abuse of someone else's property. You nailed that one right on the head.

You could & should have said, I hope you guys were being safe & treated that other persons SUV with respect.. but nope, you took the negative route... again... like always & kill a happy fun post :(

I missed how I told you you all were going to die. Must have been the invisible type I used? :confused:

I wouldn't need to say I hoped you all were being safe and treated the other person's car with respect. That you were not doing so was obvious from your original post.

And the problem with using absolutes- again, like always, etc., is- to steal another PT member's quote, is, well, they are so absolute.

I post on here often, and post with equal amounts of positives/negatives. When I see such youthful indiscretion as in the OP, it is hard to not post. And, generally, I don't post in your threads, for this very reason. I don't know what made me do it today. Maybe the 20 views with no comment from anyone else? I dunno, really.

See if you like this any better: Gee, King, what great fun! You put yourself at risk, with a 20 year old, in an SUV he doesn't know from Adam! Great job! Way to demonstrate maturity! Yippee on you! Thankfully you all came out okay.

:rolleyes:

What risk? going around in a circle in a mud puddle?
A BMX could have gone faster then us in that mud puddle, & the BMXing I did the mud was deeper & there were boulders... BUT once again I did things SAFE. I wore my helmet & the body padding (talking about the BMXing)...

(Back to the truck) Honestly how fast do you think we were going in this mud puddle? & do you have this image of us doing tight doughnuts & spinning out of control like on TV?? Because thats not how it happened.. we were doing 50' circles & at times going straight to kick up mud & water. You can't gun the truck in a turn, thats how things break, you get stuck, you flip, etc..

Sorry but at times age has nothing to do with experience. You can drive a tractor at 7yrs old (prob younger, not sure, but thats the age my friends learned at), run a bailer & other farm equiptment aswell.. I think by the time they are 20 they know what they are doing.
Remember Quarries(most) aren't in the middle of cities, they are out in the middle of nowhere & anyone of any age can drive anything they want there because its private land. Thats how/where most country boys learn to drive their dirt bikes, 4 wheelers, trucks, etc.

I did nothing that was immature. Everything was safe, everything was planned out, everything was legal & everything was fun.

Let me just say that I lost two (yes 2) siblings due to the "inexperience" of young drivers. While what you did might have been fun, sometimes accidents happen when you least expect them. I am thankful that all of you came thru this "fun" unscathed. Just food for thought.

W:eek:W! How immature! :rolleyes:

Sorry for your losses.

I don't mean to be rude by all means by this, but this is my food for thought (PLEASE don't be offended).

The risks of owning a large dog can be deadly.
The risks of riding a horse can be deadly.
The risks of flying can be deadly.
The risks of swimming can be deadly.
The risks of driving can be deadly.
The risks of riding a bike can be deadly.

That short list is of things that are fun, but could go horribly wrong & cause death. BUT if things are done safely the risk of death is very low, but that risk will always be there.

There is a difference between being safe & not safe... We were being safe.

Looks like you had some weirdish fun lol. :D

I just hope my family and I stay safe and away from your kind of "fun".

Wow, I have to say that I can't agree with Cataholic more.

Have you lost your sense of good judgement in the past year? You've jumped from man to man into "serious" relationships overnight, met guys in bars, tried acohol when never did so before just because your current amore urged you to do so, and so on. You continually put yourself in stupid and dangerous positions... and for what? You always say for a good time. To experience life.

I don't know what is going on in your life to make you feel like you have to proove something, or make up for lost time, or whatever it is. All I know is I've seen you really do a downward spiral this past year.

Instead of reading into what people are saying in response to your posts, READ your own posts! there's nothing "fun" to this story. I only see an out of control bunch of punks.

Oh, and nowhere in the OP did I see you say your boss asked you to do this for work. You only mentioed your dealer. I have a car dealer, and he might let me take one of his cars out, but I don't work for him.

hehe its only weird to people who don't grow up around that kind of thing. I find the way most city folks go camping to be weirdish (hehe I like that word.. weirdish).. needing power, running water, campers, stoves, etc lol I like tents, lugging lake or pumped water several km back to camp, campfires are used for cooking, keeping warm & keeping animals away, hunting for your own food (where that chipmunk comment came from in another post lol)... hehe

AND, you left out the scary, scary former living situation. Fun? Give me a lot less fun, and a lot more security any ole' day.

I was under the impression that auto manufacturers perform quality inspections. I never knew it was up to dealers to ride new vehicles hard before selling them to customers.

Guess times have changed....

Ok I can understand the mud bogging as we have places to do it in that are fairly safe. I don't do it as i own my car and need it to last.
are you sure this what the boss ment? Where is it you work again I don't want to buy a car from them if he lets his empoyees treat the cars like that. I understand you are cutting lose and trying to make up time for the past when you were unable to do "fun " things but dear(mommy warning now) Jessie please be careful and THINK before you act.
We all care about you thats why we feel the need to say these things to you. take care

I dated 2 guys since March (when Rob & I broke up) & have been single since the beginning of Sept. Not guy"s" in a bar.. It was 1 guy.. never slept with him (among other things I'm not typing), & never dated him.

No body made me drink, I wanted to go out drinking with Tom, BUT I wanted to do it safely so I asked for advice. Since May (when I started drinking), I've drank less then 10 times. Almost everytime I do drink I have a bottle or 2 of Smirnoff Ice. Yes I will admitt that there have been 2 times I went out to get wasted at parties & 1 time I messed up.. my limit was way off in the heat & I became ill (I don't mind admitting to my screw ups & that one a big one).

Not sure what else I did. But I thought moving into a new place away from a coke head was a good idea.

Buying a car wasn't stupid.

Getting a Line of Credit so I can close my credit cards wasn't stupid either.

Having no money & starving wasn't stupid.. it sucked, but I tried my best to keep things positive by talking about "hey I'm loosing weight". Ya I was poor, but I worked my butt off to fix that situation & not ruin my credit, or loose my job.

Do you really want to know why I'm not living in a cardboard box anylonger & I'm finally being me again.. this is me, its not a new me, its the origional me thats not being beaten, screamed at, things trashed, pets killed, guns pointed in faces, raped, among many other horrible things I never want to see, go through or hear every again!!
I'm me again!! I missed me, I was always an active person having fun with friends, doing stupid things (biking for 71km to a cottage, walking 15km in the middle of an ice storm, camping with almost nothing, dissapearing into the forest for hours on end).. My fun might be stupid to some, but I've always done it safely.


Bill isn't my boss I work for one of the largest Electronics companies, Bill is a friend/dealer... Chad works for him & is also friends with Bill... why we can pick any car from the lot & drive it just because... At the beginning of the week we had the SUV because my car was in the shop & needed something to drive... Then we needed something to go to Ottawa in, so we picked the SUV again.. Then we were asked since your taking that one, test it out to make sure all is well as the 4x4 were not shifting in low properly... I wasn't there for the convo so its hard to type it out. So we took it to a mud puddle & played in the mud.

I find this statement very indicative of your philosophy of life. Paying attention to little details are what make things like joy, security, and love last longer. By not paying attention to details you can miss a lot of joy, security and love in life. You may not have been in some of the situations that you have frantically posted about if you had paid more attention to details to begin with. You are no longer a child, and need to start taking some responsibility for what happens to you.


Wow, has this thread gone off track from the original post.

The hazards of doing donuts with a 4x4 are why most mud bogging groups require a rollcage of some sort on the vehicle at meets. It doesn't take much to roll one, and donuts are pushing the suspension of the vehicle to extremes.

All it takes to roll a vehicle when doing donuts is a rock in the wrong place, a change in traction of the surface.....

Lots of things to go wrong.
