> > Back in January I got off work real early, so one of the guys that works with has a 4WD Toyota Tacoma and he asked me if I wanted to go 4-wheelin' with him. So my eyes lit up and of course I was there. Now this guy is 22 and newly married(his name is Chris). So he takes me to this place where everybody down here goes 4-wheelin'. The place is huge and in the middle of nowhere and he starts going nuts- I mean flooring it over every jump and it's continuos whoop de doos in there. So we're going airborn every other jump and I'm loving it. Then we came to this little lake maybe about 80' in diameter and he starts wailing around the lake in continuous circles like we're in a race. I was having a blast and yelling "yee-haw" but I was also prepared for anything to happen, like as in my seatbelt was on tight , my legs were locked and pressed against the floor and my hands were underneath the seat and I was pulling up to keep me tight to the seat. As Chris was dogging it he would spin out but he was still flooring it so he would just go the other way. One time when he spun out we went on 2 wheels and I said to him "man I could see how this thing could roll over". He was like we're not gonna flip. Within a minute after that we were upside down.

> > I couldn't believe how fast it rolled. It was so fast I didn't even see it -it was all of a sudden -- BAM we're upside down and(this is the funny part) Chris still had the pedal to the metal-LOL- UPSIDE DOWN. When we got out he started laughing. Now his truck was not a piece of junk-mind you. It's a '96 and was in great condition - and he was still laughing--LOL. So he had a camera and took some pictures of it and then he and I pushed it to its side but couldn't get it all the way over back on its wheels. By this time it's almost dark and no one was around and then we spotted this guy on a quad and he luckily had a tow strap and he pulled it over the rest of the way. The next trial was- Will it start? And guess what it started right up and we were homeward bound. But the truck was all mashed up front to rear and the whole top too ( smushed in roof and windshield) . Well I got home scott free but he had a little bit of explaining to do to his wife -LOL

> > Hope you enjoyed reading my little adventure, Rick}}}}}}

> LOL!!!! Oh man!!! Rick, that was great. I was laughing so hard when I read that one. Now this is what the board is for, it was so refreshing to get a good hilarious message here after so long. Man, you got to get copies of the pictures and send me one. I got to see this.

I'm glad you liked it. Chris doesn't work for me any more because he got a good job with the city but I am still good friends with him and I should be able to get some copies made. I haven't talked to him in a while but i'll try to remember to get a hold of him. :c)

See you for now, Rick
