(That's what she said!

) I was going to the car wash and was going to stop at the gas station for something to drink. There is a path behind the gas station that you can take to avoid the main street traffic. It was a little extra muddy so I decided to take advantage of it and sling some mud. Wow, the amount of cleaning it takes to get rid of the mud is not worth just 30 seconds of fun, I'd say a minimum of 30 minutes to make it worth it. Still was a blast though, got some good looks too. Oh and what makes it even better is the nozzle on the sprayer had a leak that sprays water back at you, I came out just as wet as the truck.

Well, now that it's had a taste of mud, you wont be able to keep it clean!! Besides, your truck looks cool both ways

They seem to seek out the mud, water, sand, etc.

You could always wait to clean it up until after you had the required amount of playtime in it.

What do you think about getting my H3 painted to llok like the before picture? That way when it's clean or dirty it would always look like I went thru a mud hole. I would do it jsut to drive HummBob and Muddydawg crazy.

I look at it this way, cleaning my truck is a labor of love. It ain't no big deal to wash the mud/snow off at the local power wash and then finish it off in my heated garage.

What about one of those new decal/wrap that cover commerical vehicles use? Not only get the mud look, get a paint protection...
Just a thought. Sharp looking H3.
