I'm getting ready to re-do my engine mounts. I'm not sure if we treat our cars the same. When's the last time you drove yours in a cornfield? (no, really)

Matt - I worry about the cotton pickers of Tuscaloosa building the things & now we have you in a corn field.

To be fair I did only drive it through a corn field one time and that was quite a long time ago - think late summer 2009 when the car had 58-60k miles. The corn wasn't standing high like you might imagine, nonetheless it would've been a funny sight to see from outside the car.

That's not the only time the car's played off road and gotten its wheels muddy, but again those were its much younger days.
