I will take basically any opportunity to share this photo. And today is no exception.

Jeez, it would take me days to re-polish the underside of my car after that, Jeo.

(Yeah, Mud Racing near Rocky. Who'd have thought?)

That day was honestly pretty full on. Likely the worst it's ever been. Pretty sure I drove through a car wash on the way home, or possibly the next day? Good odds there's still some of the mud under the car somewhere though, but to my credit that photo is only a few years old now. :lol:
