Sorry country boy , but this city boy HATES having a dirty car. My dad's a car nut, and I was always raised that when you can, keep your car clean. Obviously in the winter it's tough, and it does get dirty railfanning, but I try.Mike Tabone wrote:To clean for my taste.Conrail Jon wrote:Well here's my beast:

Looks like you got Toyo Open Country Tires, if so, why have Off Road Tires if your not going to use them, you would have been fine with the regular M+S tiresConrail Jon wrote:Sorry country boy , but this city boy HATES having a dirty car.

Did I ever say I never go off-roading? No. About 4 times a year we take all the Hummers up to the Silver Lake dunes and have some real fun. There's also a guy up in Newaygo that owns a bunch of land who invites us up to go boonying regularly. Ever get an H1 stuck in 3 feet of muck, then get pulled out by a front end loader? Not to mention all the off roading that railfanning involves.
They're not Toyo's, they're 33'' Bridgestone LT285/75R16C on road/off road tires. I ordered those because they look funny with the smaller standard wheels. Can you blame me?

If I'm gonna get a hummer i'm gonna cal the Army and get the real thing!!!! Just plain old hummer no ac or radio just the hummer. Ok and maybe a .50 cal for removing "foreground cluter"

Jon, I've been to four county fairs and a pig roast, and I've never heard the term "boonying" before.Conrail Jon wrote:There's also a guy up in Newaygo that owns a bunch of land who invites us up to go boonying regularly.

Correct. We've always called it boonying. Boonying, off roadin' whatever, all involve dirt.Mike Tabone wrote:I've heard: Muddin' Boggin', Swamp draggin', Off Roadin', Wheelin' in the Mud, but never bonnying. I assume you were talking about going out to the Bondocks and having a good time in the dirt correct?
