They have some GIANT ASS DUMPTRUCKS! Dumps like a truck... truck!


Lauren for reference...


ML for reference...


This place is really beautiful inside. I wonder why the water is like perfect looking. It is either pure spring water, or it is polluted with some kind of minerals that make it that color. But it looks like some kind of paradise on the moon.




Warning signs? Thats for homos!





Send these shots for Benz to put in the catalog...


3 sets of those dumptruck tires are as tall as the ML...


Washing off the evidence so her Dad doesn't find out... priceless.

It was good. It actually has a Low Range setting on the transfer case. I even rode it over this big rut and the car never got stuck, but it did slip wheels. But that was the only time. This terrain isn't bad at all, I drove my Civic there once and never got stuck.

Sure its not rock climbing or anything like that. But think of what an accomplishment it is to actually use an SUV for what it was designed for. This Benz is probably now one of the proud 1%.

Like 2 hours after washing it off I noticed a trickle of water would drop down its side mirror every 5 minutes or so, and this was after it had dried off. Lauren said she believed it was crying with joy because it had gotten used for what it was designed for. And I believe it.
