yes it is true... a Geo save me...Here is the story...It started to snow in the NorthWest hard...(salem,oregon)..me and my girlfriend were going home when it started to snow hard and that's how it started...people were just going of the road and then it happened...I was next.... just a little down the road from my girlfriends house.. It was my turn to go in the ditch...almost one foot deep of mud and snow was in the ditch..I was so mad My car was in the ditch and it was also 11:00 on a back road..I had to get out of the passenger side because I was in so much mud...so after that me and my girlfriend got a ride to her house to get THE GEO to pull my car out of the ditch..which it did....that sucked so bad because by the time I got my car out of the ditch..the driver side wheel was under 5 inches of mud..it was so bad that you couldnt even tell what kind of wheels I had on my protege....and the other side of my car was so bad that the car looked dark brown But i did get pics of my car in the ditch and i dont think that anything on my car is broke..I HOPE and if there is I will cry also when it stops snowing I will wash my car and get pics of it clean(not with the mud) and I will post those and the pics of my car in the ditch......

As much as I hate to even admit that I drive a Geo Tracker....I find it VERY amusing that I had to use it to save my boys butt. We've always laughed at how gutless my little Tracker is, but it obviously came in handy for something. If it wasn't for me my boys Protege' would have stayed in the ditch all night But of course I couldn't let that happen even though I tried to warn him that we should take my 4 wheel drive. But like most guys he refused to listen and and look where it got him. Just joking...I love you baby!!!

yeah you just couldnt help yourself.. just had to do the "i told you so"

the only way that my friends could reach me yesterday was in my friend's little Tracker actually, and we were laughing when I showed them this thread, it's true though, that little guy gets around. Helps when you've got extra weight in the car, such as three people, but still, when's that All Wheel Drive Turbo Protege coming out damn it?
