Friends don't let friends take their G35 muddin'
Ok, so.... long-story-short:
I had to take my G down a dirt road to get to a job the other day.
The G was already somewhat dirty, and I was planning on washing it soon, so it really wasn't a big deal...... until....
After leaving the site (down the dirt road) I decided to try a different route back, which ended up with me being really far down a dirt road and I came to a decently large amount of water across the road. Going back would have sucked really bad, so I just decided to build a little speed to make sure I got through it ok...... yeah.... bad idea....
The puddle was about twice as deep, and about 4 times longer than I had initially thought
I hydroplaned at first, then started to bog a little, then started slipping sideways like crazy. The tail probably stepped out a good 30 degrees.
Scared the crap out of me, because I just knew I was going to bite the ditchbank.
Somehow I made it out the other side, but the G had mud ALL OVER.
Got on the windshield, and splashed all the way up on the roof!
Anyway, here's pics I snapped, enjoy (except Janik, who will lose sleep over this)
Oh, and sorry about the blue cast, my phone has no concept of white balance
