You think that's bad? They have this thing here in Vermont called the Four Wheel Jamboree. It's a 4WD festival or some ****, and there's a tuff truck competition where you go try to break your **** on an obstacle course. Well, the rules state that the only requirement for the tuff truck competition is that the vehicle be 4WD. So what my buddy did was to go get an '87 Civic AWD Wagovan and entered it.

He didn't win.

He got 2nd place. No ****. You wanna talk about some pissed off rednecks? On one side, he spray painted, "IH8 V8" and on the other, he had "4DS SUK," ala- license plate style.
