Exits? We dont nee dno stinking exits.. - Land Rovers Only

Hailsharky · 12-19-2005, 06:58 PM

So I had to hit that Mall up and get my wife some perfume she wanted.
After I walk out and try and drive out of the parking lot, I realise that both exits are backed up a tenth of a mile long. Basicly it didnt mater which exit you chose because the ends both touched in each direction.

I saw no bar in the parking lot so I decided to head over behind Circuit city and see if there were any small bushes I could run over.
Turned out I found a 8 foot planter that had two 2 foot elevations that dropped down onto a sidewalk then street.
I gunned it over the planter at an angle and found myself free within seconds.
I was out of the parking lot within a minute.

No, this is not a story of how I took my Disco series II on Safari in Africa today, but I did make it home to my house in Murrieta CA in time to walk my two dogs to a killer sunset.

Peace

Si Senior.

There always has to be another way.

Especially when you drive such a vehicle.

Ever since I stared driving trucks, I've realized that streets are just sugestions.

This happened to me yesterday: Lady in front of me was being a douchebag and wouldn't inch up so I could get on the left turn only lane, so I jumped the median, and made sure to go by her just inches away from her car.

You should have seen her face

See, I like that kind of creative driving.

I feel so limited when I drive my wifes car because you're stuck waiting behind some chumpstein.
Tex jumped up and over, and because of teh solid beam axels, his alignment is still nice and straight.
Rovers give you plan B, and C when others are stuck in A.

Yeah, before this I had a Bronco, and before that I had an Impala SS, and even with 4 doors, that car was made for speed, not curb hopping, so it would have been damn near impossible to do it.

But with the Disco, man, I don't even think about it anymore. It's basically: "What? Traffic jam? Fuck it. *aim for nearest median, or makeshift off ramp*"

Choqiees · 12-21-2005, 04:36 AM

is that even legal ?

Disco · 12-21-2005, 06:36 AM

Hey FunRover, what's that red thing on the front of your truck? A pair of ladies nickers perhaps?

DiscoPilot · 12-21-2005, 08:36 AM

I call this Method "Create-A-Lane" i use it quite frequently.

ERTECH · 12-21-2005, 03:03 PM

AAXD · 12-21-2005, 03:30 PM

See, I knew somewhere out there I'd see a cool looking Subaru Outback. Sweet car. I'm going to try to get into rallying someday, when my job settles down to a more permanent location.
