About 5 days ago there was alot of rain by my house and there was this truck that got stuck in front of my house it was a chevy full size truck. Well the cars kept slowing down and i was wondeing what happened?? I drove the V over to see if there was a crash and found out that the guy had hydroplaned off the road and went in the ditch where he was now stuck. A big truck came out and pulled out the Chevy, the ruts left behind were HUGE!! after they cleared out i was lookin at the mess thinking "hmm i wonder?" well i said what the hell and went for it i went in kinda fast the 1st time and it didnt even slow down. The second time i stopped....all the way in the rut something hit the undercarriage and i said "oh crap i think im done" my buddy was eggin me on like "nail it man nail it" i said nah so i gave it a lil bit of gas and the front end spun then the rear locked in and poof out i came with no problem. Turned around and went back in again....well i didnt think it was that deep till i looked at it afterwards when i went back to get the F-150 to finish the job those ruts were DEEP!! the F-150 was spinning more that the V but i think thats due to the HP of the Ford vs the Honda. But it was fun

That's pretty much what offroading a CR-V is all about: we've got RT4WD but virtually no underbody armor and a car suspension.... So feel free to hit the mud all day long. Just stay away from big rocks!!!

lol Vince it was pretty fun, it dont have nearly the ground clearance my F-150 has and the suspension leaves much to be desired but its a fun lil truck :)
