Kate,
My driveway is over 1200 feet long and straight. I chuckle every time I hit
45 MPH on it, (That is in a 10,000 pound F-450 diesel 4x4) too bad I have to slow down for the end.The problem with my mud is it is bottomless, when I get a rig stuck in it I get buried to the frame and have to do the extraction with the winch on another truck, or my tractor. I did have to extract my 4x4 tractor with the F-450 once though, after I snapped two different chains it dragged it out like it was sitting on flat ice. LOL
BTW forgiving you would be easier if you had gotten a Ford 4x4. :-)
