[QUOTE="scooby0048, post: 4243954, member: 50693"] A few winters ago I was going into a ranch and the road is barely wide enough for the truck. With culverts on both sides of road, you're committed to go all the way until you get to the house. Not that time, as there was a snow drift that was as tall as the truck. I called in and told them I was going to set off a bunch of alerts at mission command getting out of there, because I was in about a half mile, and asked if they wanted to call a tow or have me back out. They told me try to back if I could do it safely. I drove that bitch like a boss and got out without getting stuck or going off the side into the culvert. A few days later the center manager had come to visit and I jokingly asked him how far I actually backed, if I was close in my guess of half a mile and if he got alerted. You could just tell he was going to blow his top but calmly said, "Yeah I got alerted but I don't know whether to be pissed you backed 3318ft at speeds more than 15mph or to congratulate you for such an impressive feat. Next time, I'll pay for a tow!" [/QUOTE]
