Sure, I'm the guy who droppeda turd in the pool and got out :-) But look what a good thread it became!

Yeah, nothing like controversy to start a good thread. It showed the character of this forum in the end with all the thoughtful responses.

Seems like everybody else hopped in on this one...what the heck..why not me. I think mud is a cultural thing too and this is a great point! I would be curious to find out....those who have "bling" would you say you are more urban than backwoods (probably living near a coast or major inland city)? and those who have "mud" would you say you are more redneck than city folk (probably in the heartland, midwest or just a little bit off the beaten path)?
I for one like mud and am not a city boy. Me and my friends like to play on the dirt bike track, shoot guns, drink cheap beer and get our trucks muddy. Its the midwest and thats just tradition.
Whether its mud or shine, I think there is a strong connection to how you live which is what gets painted on your rolling canvas. Some of us like the finished off cityscapes and that man made touch, some like the more natural it is what it is, take it or leave it kind of style.
I used to have a harley and still frequent motorcycle rallys and the one thing that always amazed me was the fact that when there are 10,000+ motorcycles in one place, 90% or so are of a single brand and of that brand, there are maybe 5 models in the majority...yet not a single one is identical. Looking through the gallery of this site and people adding new pictures of their new rides, its amazing to me at times that this is a website for 1 single brand of vehicle which has 3 models. But there are 3,000+ members of this forum and every single picture I've seen is completely different. For instance, look at our Avatars...we identify eachother based on a picture of our trucks! We dont have faces here, our trucks are our personality!! Especially since there really aren't a ton of aftermarket parts for the H3 yet compared to other brands, I think we've all done a great job of getting creative with our investments!
Thats my little thing....can't we all just get along?

I love mud... hate rock climbing.... trails are a happy medium. I'm not sure what I would consider myself though. I live in a very densely populated state on a coast that grows by 2000% for 4 months a year.... yet I leave no puddle unsplashed.... especially if there happen to be people waiting at the busstop.
