What an amazing vehicle! Not a scratch after rolling into a ditch ?

[Il Commandante]

Dear fellow Jeepers,

to me, the Willys MB has always been the one vehicle that you can literally drop in the ditch, pull out again, and drive away without any further problems.

I always thought the JL had lost this quality, due to its complexity and weight.

Today I had the opportunity to prove me wrong. I did not pay enough attention and dropped my Jeep in the ditch. Quite a steep one.

After pulling it out, there was no damage at all, not even a scratch! The engine started right up, and off I drove.

What an amazing vehicle this Jeep is!

Good you and your Jeep got out of that safely, but did your trailer and whatever was on/in it manage the same result? ?

I've been taken German for 2 years and still can't get it!!

Ich kann sehen, wo das hohe Gras Ihre Tiefenwahrnehmung der Oberfläche behindern würde.

I'm amazed how many of you Americans speak German! ?

Thank you Sam! The little trailer was empty, and it was completely unharmed, as well. Only weighs 300lbs...

Well James, "Heimkehr" sounds like you know your German, too!

I do -- it means "homecoming", as I'm sure you're aware -- but I do still need to bunt to the translator to ensure I'm not tripping over my keyboard.
