@shoesandsocks Anyone with unusual interests (and I've had many) soon learns from experience that whatever is in print (or online) today might not be tomorrow. There is always a feeling of living at the end of an era, maybe born too late. You know the old saying, everything we like is either illegal, immoral, or fattening. So, without (I hope) being a pathological "hoarder", one yet becomes an inveterate pack rat at an early age, stashing books, magazines and clippings wherever possible, even in a shallow crawl space under my sister's room. Mom suggested once, "You could almost throw some of this away." I replied cheerfully "Yup--- almost."

Until 2008, I stashed stuff away on floppies. After they filled a bookshelf, I acquired a 500GB external drive thinking it would last me the rest of my life. Ha ha. Now any standard hard disk <6TB is a waste of a good drive letter.

1950 Oldsmobile cranking and burnout. It's difficult to tell whether it is really a burnout or just hard spinning in snow. Anyway, it's a nice one for those of us interested in vintage or antique vehicles.

Welcome to our little version of The Few The Proud. In 2017, the U.S. Marines became uncertain how proud they were (at least of that slogan), so maybe it's up for grabs. Maybe we could cum up with add another adjective in the middle?

"Very fun drifting and mudding, although the golfcarts tended to get stuck quite often"

Whatdaya mean 'although'-- poor baby!

Right now, it's just cold. Uncle Ebenezer say, "Why pay the electric company to make part of your home cold when there's plenty of cold on your doorstep just waiting to be carried in?" My passive-aggressive answer to winter weather: several half-gallon plastic milk jugs or soda bottles full of water out on the porch, AKA Scrooge's cold comfort. When they have frozen solid, they go into the icebox (which Tiny Tim calls the refrigerator). I don't like the cold weather, but when that's what we're getting, by golly I'm gonna make the most of it to save a little money.

"Share the video" he urges. Happy to oblige!

Thank you for a lovely story! Your imagination shines through the translator.

Like Kevin, I enjoyed or fantasized stucks as far back as I can remember and probably didn't realize it was anything unusual until age 11 or so. Then I began to wonder if I were the only one in the world turned on this way and was on the lookout for evidence to the contrary. But I never saw anything definitive before getting on the Internet. It was just a curiosity, not a worry. (I had plenty of other problems to deal with.)

But there was one time in my 20s when a friend and I drove to a party at a farmhouse just outside of town. It was winter and he got the car stuck in the ditch beside the driveway. Our hosts' son, a high school senior, came out to help. Noticing my friend's embarrassment, he reassured him that it shouldn't be a problem, adding "I think getting stuck is fun." How interesting that he would say that, I thought, and be so matter-of-fact about it. Could he possibly mean what I wanted him to mean? This young man, whom I already knew casually, was quite attractive. I regretted not somehow following up on that remark, especially since he planned to move away to the Air Force after graduating in just a few months. If he did enjoy getting stuck enough to do it deliberately, then growing up on a farm would give him more opportunities than most of us could hope for.

Wow, that was quick! Thanks! How did you do it? I can usually copy pics I see online with just my browser, but in this case it wasn't an option.

I'm just putting this little tidbit here because it doesn't seem worthy of its own thread, but:

At the web site of morningstar.com the past couple days, I have been greeted by an ad from State Street Global Advisors with a photo (perhaps .gif, there's brief animation of wheel spinning) of a man in a red sports car stuck in the mud. Unfortunately, I can't copy the file. Maybe someone more resourceful knows how to do it. This ad doesn't always appear, but it seems to be frequent enough that you might see it if you go to that page a few times.

I don't remember how I found this video, perhaps by searching "Off-road" + another Turkish word. No word for "stuck" appears. Turkish is not at all like English, but translators seem to have little trouble translating accurately between the two languages (unlike e.g. Russian). Here are some words to look for:

Araba car
sürme driving

batma sinking
takıldı stuck
patinaj skid
gazlama gassing
yolda kalmış stuck on the way, stranded
sıkışmış jammed
kötü takılmış stuck fast, badly stuck

A distinctive feature of Turkish Youtube culture is a genre known as "Araba Kaçırma" (car missing or hijack) in which young guys either take, or seem to take, a car they don't own for a joyride. You can find many examples, as though there were a competition to see who can make the boldest or most interesting videos from this scenario. Thus far, unfortunately, I haven't seen anyone go off-road or get anywhere near stuck, but maybe one of these days.... winter approaches.

If James Joyce were a stucklover, he couldn't have written about it better than you just did. Hat's off, and welcome to our little mudhole in cyberspace!
