Default Streets suck in SC. Offroading in Mustang

Well I was going for a drive exploring the area around me, well I ended up driving a bit and decided to start heading back home. I find a sign that points to I 26 west and decide to follow it. The sign I followed took me down some shady road that goes a bit down and seemed to go along side I 26, this road was two lanes but very small, Well I'm going down this dark street doing around 40 and BAM!!! the fucking street ends and I'm hitting holes and mudd and I skidded a bit before I stopped. I put the car into reverse to turn around and BAM!!! I get fucking stuck in the mudd, I was stuck for about 15 min. I had to spin tires for a good couple of seconds till I could get out. Well I'm back home and going to check if I damanged anything.


Rant Over/

I bought myself some Jack Links A1 sauce beef jerky and is making me feel better

I don't really know the exact location. I went down by Pinewood prep school(I think) and made a right a couple blocks down. Where in S'ville do you live Slowgreen99?

exit 194 is by pinewood...that whole area down by the interstate isnt really that developed, you must of went towards ridgevile on that rd b/c if you go towards the ville, you end up at piggly wiggly ect.

If your gonna explore summerville and the surrounding areas, dorchester, main street, trolley road, berlin g meyers, and hwy 78 literally take you EVERYWHERE.

Exit 194 is the Jedburg exit, next one up is Ridgeville. I live 2 miles on the otherside of 26.

Do you know who owns the white lightning just a little up the road from you guys? He lives in that little farm house with all the land on the left past 176 just before the sharp turn. were Queenie road passes through.

The only lightnings I know of out here are Mr Bills, a guy named Rodney who's occasionally out this way, and theres a guy that lives on 176 that has 2 of em, one red and one white, and his daughter drives one of em I believe. Im not exactly sure of what white one you're talking about.

True, the concrete roads are not so bad. Problem is, they are few and far between.
