Been there, done that, almost ate a .50 cal. because of it.
We were riding with blackout lights and NODs. The driver was trying to find a culvert to get over the shit ditch and after a few fruitless moments of looking decided to say "fuck it" and just drive across it. He didn't make it, because of this:
That's festering sewage, BTW. It's OK if you just threw up a little bit in your mouth. The punchline was that there was a perfectly suitable culvert about 20m away.

Pretty sure if you get a X stuck it means you're doing it wrong. Just sayin

This is a rental Focus, and that lump I sank into apparently turns into a swampy channel of water when it rains harder.
No X for Stef. :o(

Ah, so it is. That's what I get for not paying attention to the dash and just assuming. Also, gotta love them Austin thunderstorms.
Is the X börked again? (Or even worse, børked?)

Ha, I have a FWD Lancer—no Evo. :o( Yep, it's borked. This is actually rental car Round #4. Ugh. So tired of dealing with this right now.

Haha strike two on me paying attention. Imma blame this on lack of sleep. What's wrong with the Lancer? Is it pertaining to the crash? Has there been some half-arsery regarding repairs?

What isn't wrong with the Lulzcer? :o( Things further back from the smash seem to be broken, too—brake calipers, motor mounts and transmission mounts. I took it back in to have the brakes looked at because they now randomly lose pressure, and that's what they found.
There's some other issues, too—a P0420 exhaust-related code that was thrown (I've never had a CEL come on up until now—BOO), a transmission overheating warning I got a while ago, the alignment just being off (more understeer, plus it pulls both left and right), vibration in the tires, some misalignment on the hood, and a tinny rattle every time I hit a bump.
I probably forgot something, but I want my car fixed already. I'm tired of finding surprises that were knocked loose.

I feel for you, I once got stuck with 3 wheels on pavement and 1 in soft mud. Even better, it wasn't a drive wheel that was stuck.
Apparently a 2wd Ford ranger with the right front wheel sunk to the hub in mud can't get enough traction on the rear tire to back itself out.

Ugh. What's my prize? Besides way too much time on the phone with insurance.

Same as winning regular bingo. Thirty bucks and the scorn of the 300 blue-hairs in the bingo hall.

A-yup. Lost a hub on the trailer, left it with some guy in Pennsylvania named Dusty (screwy, ain't it?) who said he could take it back to his place and fix it. Hopefully we don't find it stripped out and sold/burnt down in a field when we return for it next week
