I took my car to Alberta for work, got stuck on an acess road that goes to the rig. Had to pull it out with my bosses huge F350. That was the first and last time the Lex went off road hehe

In my old Soarer I had a set of stiff **** coilovers and negotiating a right hander into the work parking lot (it has a pretty steep incline) the rear right wheel lifted slightly... not all the way up but enough to make it sit on 3 wheels and everytime I tried to drive the car up it would just light up the right rear wheel... in front of the staff that were on their break

My current Soarer doesn't have that much problem except in some shopping centre carparks and the like (and my driveway into my parking underneath the apartment ) where it will just scrape the bejesus out of my exhaust... and it's stock

When I went to mexico for spring break in my friend's SC4 I got stuck going up a steep driveway. I had to revv the motor and let it teeter to get my self out of there. Also there was this other time I was in a parking garage and it had a super steep drive way. Like almost 90 degrees steep. Well lets just say me and my bald tires had fun trying to get out of there.

I found out in the woods that the best way to keep from gettin high centered is to get some speed up before you hit the big bumps.

I had a Mazda B2000 that went places a full size 4wd wouldn't dream of--

My buddy with a Toyota 4wd and street tires could always pull me out if I did get stuck-- but I had a comealong just incase--

Just carry a comealong and you're set!

That's just great. I read the first post of this thread and thought, "wow, that would really suck, I'm glad that's never happened to me." So naturally, it will happen to me tomorrow. Murphy's law!!
