    Duh, just have the government issue a recall. Then it would HAVE to come back for repairs.

    Reminds me of the time I went mudding in the CST10. That's bassically what it looked like on the truck... But my headers were below mud level.

    Wasn't there a site about this? Stuck Babes or something like that? Amazingly hot girls getting their vehicles hopelessly stuck while wearing minimalistic attires? Sounds like we need a Mars version.

    I'm assuming that the gang at JPL tried this:


    Better driving skills cheat:

    Triangle, R1 (x2), Left, R1, L1, R2, L1.

    Press L3 or R3 to jump while driving.


    on the console controller...

    OnStar: Hello, OnStar.


    Customer: My Mars rover, it's stuck on a rock, and it's worth about $200 mil.


    OnStar: Sorry, did you just say $200 million?


    Customer: Yes, please hurry! It's like -225° F here near the winter polar caps!


    OnStar: What's the name of the road, sir?


    Customer: Rocky road! How the hell should I know? It's on MARS!


    OnStar: I'm sending a tow truck n... Didi you just say it's on Mars, sir?


    Customer: Just hurry! If my boss at NASA finds out this happened, I'm worried he's going to send the Intergalactic Zombies to eat my brains! And that could reflect poorly on my next job evaluation!


    OnStar: OK, I'm afraid your problem is outside of the scope of what we do here, sir. Is there anything we can do for the Uplander you're calling from?


    Customer: Oh my God! Damn it! God! Noooooo.....


    OnStar: Sir? SIR? Is everything all right? Should I dispatch an ambulance?


    Intergalactic Zombies: uhhhhzmmmuhhuuhhmmzzzhhaaahh


    OnStar: Oh dear!

    Pfft, bring in someone from any heavy-snow area. I recommend the neatly-bearded elderly gentleman in the lowered VW Bus I saw this winter getting himself un-stuck in south Edmonton. He high-centered himself on a hidden speed-bump covered in snow, and the rear drive wheels were spinning off the ground. Without batting an eye, and before I could even offer to help, he put the van in gear, aimed the wheels straight ahead, and then opened the hood. He stood on the back bumper, and leaned way back, pushing on the throttle control on the engine with his foot. With a bit of rocking, he transferred enough weight onto the back of the van that the wheels touched, and off he went. I was walking over to help when he got it moving, and just stopped and gave him a round of applause. He then stalled the engine, hopped in, and drove it away.

    Which is why I never censored the swear words on bloodcopy.

    They need a pull-along.

    @leavethegun-takethecannoli: Tracks can fall apart, or jam. Wheels don't have that problem. (This is coming from one of the designers of it who told me about it.)

    Just get some friends to jump on the rear bumper while you floor it.


    Whatever you do, don't hook the tow strap up to the axle.

    @Baron Schm Von Shamwoüzen und taxis: Unforunately NASA only opted for the 15,000,000 mile towing plan, so they are screwed.
