    lol - it's all relative, ain't it?

    300 pound me vs 80,000 pound truck.

    In my particular case, "big and massive" was the bottom of the ditch (only about 3 feet down) . I might have been extra lucky that the bottom of the ditch was a bog - so instead of grabbing the wheels and rolling me over, I just kinda ... oozed through the soup.

    I've never wrecked anything but my car once, and that taught me the ever important lesson: Camaros + Water + Rearwheel Drive + Acceleration = Spin out!

    I always thought it was:

    Camaros + Water + T-tops= wet butt! :)

    Hammer; seeking a Ford friendly cave to hide from the wrath of a 'babe'. Lol

    I wish I could argue that point but your calculations are correct.
