You're going to be back in Maine soon, aren't you? There may still be time to rut up the dirt roads!
I kinda stopped doing that. Those roads are often used by people in the summer. I can do hundreds, even thousands, of dollars worth of damage to a road - especially when I get like six of us together to go 'mudding'.
I don't even really have a good mud truck right now.
I could, I just don't.
Hmm... I may have to have my guys build me one.
I can imagine that could upset some folks.
Yeah...
The last time I went, it was on my own logging roads - where people don't really give a fuck, and you can drag a grading sled behind your tractor and it'll be 'just fine' and the other traffic will kinda even it all out.
I had a Blazer with a giant lift and giant tires - and it had the 350 in it, bored out and stroked. I was kinda a jackass with it.
They paved a section in the village and I went downtown where I promptly started spinning my tires on the new pavement. Little did I realize, I was actually digging up the pavement all the way down into the old pavement. Of course, once I knew it was digging down to the original pavement - I kept doing it. I dug that shit up something fierce.
I quietly paid their road commissioner to fix it.
Alcohol was definitely involved. Like a year and a half later, I sold my Blazer. It was just the smaller size (S10, as I recall), but it had been swapped with the engine from the K5 (full size). The kid I sold it to beat the shit out of it and I'm pretty sure they blew the engine. It's still sitting in their back yard. I can see it when I drive by.
It's too bad, really. It was a fucking awesome truck. It never once let me down - though I did put it in some holes big enough to need a winch to get out.
