Snowboarding....Because gravity is cheaper than gas

That is so typical every year out in Wisconsin. We used to take the 4 wheeler w/ teh plow out on the ice and make an ice track, then the subies would come out. Great fun, and you really learn alot about handling characteristics on ice. The guy was probably out on the a tad to early in teh season, or didnt check the thickness with an ice fishing auger.

Where's the video of that Jeep that got stuck in a frozen creek and had to be towed *across* it to get it out the other side?

It's just a Ford, nothing to get excited about.

It's not cool... you feel really bad for this guy that has to nearly total his well-built Jeep just to get it un-stuck from the frozen mud.

I can't remember where I saw it... might have been on Break.com linked to from NASIOC like 2 weeks ago... I was hoping someone here knew where it was.
