Ok kiddies, I pulled my hatch out of the mud after sitting for nine days. Lets start at the beginning. I had just passed emissions and lepetitprince and I deceided to celebrate by doing a little 4X4ing. So I found this little hobbit trail and went up it! The car preformed flawlessly off road until it began to overheat (New problem, haven't figured it out yet.) So I shut it off to let it cool down, but when I tried to restart it I got nothing. So I called a buddy of mine with a lited 'yota (35" MTs, lockers, dual-stick Atlas TC, big fatty lift) to pull me out so I could go home. Lee, the guy with the truck gets to where I am only for me to find out that his winch doesn't work and on his way up the trail he got stuck before he even got to me! Granted it had been raining, but still... So I left him with my come-along because I had to go get my rebuilt engine. I had known that he was going out of town for a week but I figured that the yota guy would drop the winch by my house or something but after calling around I found out that nobody could find my winch. Finally got it back and the car is home, safe and sound! Really deep mud was a major factor in getting stuck as was the fact that I drove over a hidden root that was infront of an invisible sink hole. The trans likes to stick in 4th if you fudge going into reverse and caused me to bend the shifter mechanism, toast the clutch trying to roll forward in 4th and 4 low and messed up throttle cable or carb linkage for some strange reason. Plus a bunch of kids paintballed the car and left stupid oily marks ALL over the car that I need to clean off. Pics are here:

PFFT your lucky thats all the happened, I took my car Rallying in the mud a day after it stopped raining (was still really wet) when my tire hit a rock and pushed me into this rut which high centered me and had to leave it there a couple days was only like 3 or 4 but when I get back to it to get it out I see some Jeepers took the liberty of PUSHING it out after they flexed on the front

That sucks! Some people just have no respect for other's property! Good thing the Jeepers couldn't get to my car! I noticed that they had tried to by their tire tracks!
