Well we used to have a nice Toyota Highlander.......up till my daughter walked in the house (covered in mud) earlier after getting a ride home from were she launched it into the woods. She's fine not even a bruise.

She said it was "off the road a ways" so i told her to go up and shower, rang up my brother, loaded 60 feet of chain and a tow strap and headed to the scene of the crime. We find the tracks going off the road.......but no car WTF maybe somebody towed it already. Get the flashlights out and hike up over a bank....still no car....make a left and keep walking through the soft woods........holy crap....there it is.
And there it will stay till the morn.
No way i'll pull it out with the pick-up. Can probably get it with the tractor and winch but it isn't going to be driveable after i get it out so i guess i'll have to call a wrecker in the AM.
The front end is going to need a lot of work and it's sunk in the mud so far i can't see if the oil pan is intact or not.

After deciding that we couldn't get it out we went down to the state police barracks to report it and the trooper says he's already been there (somebody must have called it in) but their's no car there. I said yes there is....
he says no there isn't....i said you didn't look hard enough.....he says well the fast squad couldn't find it either.
Good thing she didn't get hurt.....although with the headlights on someone would have spotted it.
