Gone Fishin' - t to the maxx2 - 10-15-2006
So I was driving my rc18bmt(buggy with MT tires) and a mamba 8000 done my street, when a car was coming towards it at around 40(on our 25MPH street), so I had to swerve to get out of the way. The truck rolled, into the sewer. Obviously the first thing I did was go grab my camera to document it, as that was the most urgent thing to do. LOL
Here is a picture of it in the sewer

I decided to grab one of our fishing poles, but we sold them all when we moved. So I had to go door to door to find one. I finally found this one, that the guy uses to fish for muskies and stuff.

After 10 minutes of manipulating the "hook" and "bait" in the sewer, I finally caught my prize! Luckily it was undamaged becuase of the bed of leaves it landed on.

Here is a picture of what I used as a hook, becuase my neighbor had NO HOOKS OR ANYTHING, luckily he had the pole though.

Moral of the story: Don't drive near open sewers.

so my 1/8th buggy was doin a high speed run around 65-70 and this crazy ups driver came fly'n around the corner i swerve to save my investment and go right into a sewer! there must have been a pipe break some where near by because there was a ragin river down there! i quick grabbed my fishin pole and ran down the block just missing it each time i checked the sewer. finally i came to a drain that must have blocked itself from all the leaves that had fallen recently......
very cool you got it back!

Right along I-55 on the west frontage road, where the pond and park is, between Caton Farm rd and RT30, you might be to young to remember?

Could that have been someone else turning on a radio inside when you weren't supposed to run outside of the track??
Gone Fishin' - bubbaracing - 10-16-2006
