You have a raconteur's gift and more mastery of language than you are giving yourself credit for. Reading it, I had a particular Luke in mind.

About ten years ago, I went to a day-long "marathon" concert in New York, where a famous young artist played a single composer's very difficult music non-stop (with just one intermission in the middle) for at least ten hours. Patting myself on the back a little for making the three-hour trip each way to attend, I just happened (heh-heh) to sit down next to a really lovely young man in the hall. It turned out that he was a tremendously avid devotee of this composer and already something of an authority on the subject. He was English (always a plus to me), a student at Oxford, and had flown all the way across the pond to attend. It was his first time in America, but he could stay only one night and needed to return the next day. His name was Luke (but more than lukewarm). Since I knew the performer rather well, we both greeted him after the concert. After he thanked me for making the effort to attend, I replied, "Ah, but this one takes the prize!" and introduced Luke.

It was the beginning of a friendship between the two of them. On at least one later performance devoted to the composer's music, Luke was also featured as guest lecturer.

@adamxp12 This young man has his own channel, too! The $64,000 question, will he enjoy getting cars etc. stuck as much as lawn mowers? Maybe we will soon find out. (100th post in this thread already. Shall we say our forum is rockin'?)

Motor vehicles figure prominently among the hundreds of videos on this Siberian family's two channels. There aren't a lot of stucks, but a few are doozies.

As soon as one settled into the driver's seat of a car of this vintage,
wouldn't one practically hear it whispering: I've been stuck so many
times. Wanna try it again?

Now (saving the best for last) we have the Russians, who find it easier to build good cars than good roads. An especially interesting time is spring thaw, for which they even have a term: сезон бездорожья, season of bad roads.

When a Russian driver manages, he's done a покатушки (pokatushki). This seems to be a unique word with no exact translation. It might be rendered as "travel" or "ride", but a couple other suggestions are more evocative: joyride or driving adventure. It does seem to apply to driving that surmounts a challenge or two on the way. Like this:

When he doesn't manage so well в грязи (in the mud) or снег (snow),
he буксует (slips), and will буксуют (stall) and get застревает
(guess what).

Here's another preference poll. There might be less agreement here than on rear wheel drive. Which kind of transmission do you prefer to watch or imagine when someone gets stuck? If you enjoy getting stuck yourself, which transmission is your fav for that?

For me, it would always be manual transmission with stick shift. Manual transmission with the gearshift on the steering column would be almost as good, but I don't think these are made anymore. My reasons: (1) they are sturdier; (2) automatic transmission is common only in the U.S., and drivers almost everywhere else in the world laugh at the ineptitude and laziness of Americans for choosing it; (3) a skilled driver can safely shift between forward and reverse more quickly for rocking; and probably most important, (4) there's one more pedal to play with.

If a raconteur among us is looking for ideas, consider a story involving a driver who has experience only with automatic transmission. Then for whatever reason, he is driving a manual-transmission vehicle for the first time, and within a few minutes it gets stuck. Going into some detail over his fumblings with shift and clutch before he can gain enough familiarity to start rocking the car effectively could be an interesting aspect of the tale.

What do you think?

Agreeing with almost everyone-- RWD is better. One reason is that a driver can probably get a better view of a rear wheel spinning than a front wheel. Part of any ideal video IMHO is the driver sometimes leaning out and watching the ongoing action. The video should show this from behind, or whatever angle is good for capturing both the tire and the driver. A brief view from the driver's doorway or window of what he sees is nice, too.

Nice. You can write good stories. Thanks. We can well imagine how a man wearing t-shirt and shorts on a winter day would enjoy some close company.

Wow, that car is pretty helpless in the snow. It looks as though the helpers will have to push him all the way home, if only because he spun away what treads the tires might have had at the beginning. I once test-drove a used Mustang for sale by a friend of a friend, and was surprised how easily the rear wheels would spin just on a pavement because it was wet. I'd dreamed since high school of driving a Mustang, and that discovered feature was a plus. If I'd been able to afford it, I would have bought it. We all know by now that it is famous (or some would say infamous) for its stuck potential. This Miata, though, might carry a good thing too far (and its occupants not far enough).

An old channel with nothing new, but worth checking out for its playlists as well as original videos.

This guy almost certainly belongs here. In other videos he tries to get bogged on a dirt driveway made muddy with a garden hose etc. Sometimes he succeeds but never as well as in this video.

Look for Franklin Veaux's comical account about halfway down this page:

@gabe Thanks, Gabe, it's a keeper!

(I hope no one minds that I am replacing this trip down memory lane with a somewhat edited version, I hope improved):

My room as a college freshman was on the third floor, just above the rear entrance of the dorm. With the onset of the upper-midwestern winter, I realized how lucky this was, an ideal place to be alerted to an occasional stuck. When a student ordered pizza, the delivery van would usually back up to within a few feet of this entrance. During or after a snowfall, I was almost guaranteed a study break announced by a telltale vroom-vroom-vroom whiz-whiz-whiz from the window. You see, the parking lot had a slight incline in front of the door. It was barely noticeable. But with ice or fresh snow on the ground, trying to drive away was likely to prove eventful.

Yet one had to wonder why this happened so often. Did that many delivery boys still need to learn the hard way not to drive up so close to the door? Or did at least one boy kinda not mind a chance to get stuck and enjoy spinning his wheels a little while? Consider: First, they weren't actually his wheels. Second was plausible deniability: he was just trying to do his job, delivering pizzas. Who'da thought anyone would ever have trouble there? Last but not least: if in the end he needed help, dozens of college men were just inside. What more would a randy kid want? Such questions intrigued me, antennae out for any scrap of evidence that someone else in the world might be crazy enough to be turned on by stuck cars.

Naturally I'd immediately race down the stairs hoping to get a closer look. Too often by the time I arrived, it was over. Perhaps someone nearer the door had already pushed him out.

But one night running out the door, I was astonished to find the delivery boy pushing, while at the wheel sat a classmate. Not just any classmate. Brad. Did you ever know a guy you didn't have a crush on but sometimes wished you did/hoped you would/felt you should? Trouble was, I was still looking for close friends less peculiar than myself, and Brad was a bit too weird even for me. But he was fascinating. I admired him more than I let on.

Brad came from an incredibly affluent village way out in New Jersey, and therefore from a prep school. He was quietly devout, faithfully attending the Episcopal church like me (when few fellow students ever darkened a church door). His appearance was unforgettable-- almost heartbreakingly slender, with fiery red hair, eyes like sapphires, an unusually deep voice, and often wearing coat and tie when almost everyone else was in "grubs". He stood over six feet tall, and every inch a young gentleman in the sweetest way: never priggish or judgmental about the crudity all around him, yet not about to compromise his own standards. All this is a mere introduction to his eccentricities. If stuckloving was among them, it would be just one in a long list: why not? As you can imagine, Brad was a frequent victim of ridicule and even bullying from his peers. To all appearances he bore up stoically. But he was undoubtedly lonely and feeling out of place. I was one of the few friends he had. The next year he transferred to another school. I've kicked myself ever since for not being a better friend. He might have stayed.

After Brad finally managed to rock the van up away from the door and onto level pavement and yielded it to its regular occupant, I was dying to ask him what had happened. How had he come to be behind the wheel of a stuck pizza van? Whose idea was it? Had he met this delivery boy before? And was it fun? But alas, I was a coward and let the opportunity pass. Youth is wasted on the young.

Someone better at fiction writing could make a really good story from this: about a pizza delivery boy who'd get his car stuck behind the college men's dorm whenever he could, so that a certain shy, lonely, but drop-dead-gorgeous freshman would emerge and trade places with him in the driver's seat.

Hey guys-- speaking of "intentional stucks" (real or imagined), what about getting stuck at night? Although it would be more trouble to make a successful video of the situation, I suppose that it could add even more excitement to the experience. It's nice to fantasize, er, coming upon a car somewhere out in the woods-- stuck in the mud, with headlight beams bobbing up and down as it revs and rocks, finding a cute guy hard at it in the driver's seat, and asking if I can be of some assistance. Sound interesting?

@spinthosetires What happens to the brakes on the drive wheels? Doesn't it wear them out?

@Shoesandsocks Could it have something to do with the software's video player not handling those formats? When I clicked on the .flv, it immediately uploaded it to me instead of playing it. I have no idea what the .mov files are, and can't find any with those names on my computer.

@Shoesandsocks

Here's one of them.

I doubt that the .mov files are from me. Fortunately Adam has posted
dx5195-Savin... because the system does not allow uploading .flv files normally.

@adamxp12 Thanks! I can upload them all here again as long as there is enough capacity. Was just hoping to put those cloud copies to use again. It's a shame that I can't find what record I may have kept of what I did.
