1) where the paved road to the quarry is.
2) 30 pizzas fit in the back seat of the Taco.
3) Only 6 Barbie Jeeps fit in the bed of the Taco.
4) Prime Rib at 11:00pm is good.
5) The owner of the Hotel laughs at my jokes.
6) Hobag cant hang with us at the hotel.
7) TH wears Whitie Tighties.
 
9) I need to sit closer to bmfl at the raffle because he gives stuff away.
10) mission impossible can suck balls if your trail guide has no desire to take you to the rocks.
 
My Jeep needs its rear shocks re-valved if I'm going to continue to have 3 chuckle-heads ride in my back seat
Ice makes easy obstacles very difficult yet doesn't change difficult obstacles much
My M8000 can winch 5 or so Jeeps (including a FSJ) up a hill one after another and survive
You can winch 5 or so Jeeps up a hill just so they can drive back down
It's not the size of the dog in the bark but the size of the bark in the dog
I'm not the only one that hurts after Barbie Jeep racing
Rogaine doesn't work
If you buy everyone pizza they won't talk bad about you...until they're done eating pizza
If you win too much stuff at a raffle people will boo you, no matter how much of it you give away
I can't wheel the Badlands without breaking something
If my wife ever comes to Attica again I had better find a much nicer hotel
A diesel Grand Cherokee is very nice in its own right but it's ability to tow puts it heads and shoulders above anything currently on the market
A diesel Grand gets 16 + MPG towing 7k lbs
The Hotel Attica is in need of a very long over due renovation, it'll probably fall over before it ever gets one
Warn hubs always break, even if brand new
Warn winches on the other hand hold up pretty darn good
Some people will travel 12 hours to sit in the back seat of my Jeep and amuse me
Some people can be minutes from my house and not even call me
Pressing bearings on and off an axle shaft is a very long process for mechanics in Attica
You can start 2 hours after the official orange trail group and still pass them up
Large blocks of wood do not burn as well as pallets
Barbie Jeeps burn really hot
John makes great beer
The NAXJA sponsors were very good to us this year, thanks to all of them!
Not seeing my wheeling friends more often sucks
Seeing them at WF every year rocks
My transmission needs serious help
JJ has one hell of a great sense of humor

I am already looking forward to next year!

My duffle bag got a better shower than I did.

Wieners can lick their own wieners

Riding with Jim is so damn fun

Wait to buy a MWC hat after the raffle or you may end up with 2

Topics like S'n F's, S'n D's, hoagies and ghost Jesus may scare people new to EOR

Ice eventually breaks

Yuengling can be used as currency.

It was great seeing everyone, see you all next year
 
I learned that chairs go for blood! I'm feeling good.
 
Things we learned at Winterfest:
Gluten free people are just looking for attention
There are actually limits to Billy's hate
Trash is the best word ever
Billy despises show tunes
The Badlands is the best garbage dump to wheel in
Soup is a finger food, no utensils required
Crows THRIVE on Stefan's vomit
All conversation topics have to be preapproved by Billy
Everyone in Attica has a house like Ken
Robert Loose's daughter can out drive him the second time she ever drove a car
The Midwest chapter president has not yet banned having fun
The Indianapolis Motor Speedway is Indiana's second largest dump, losing only to Attica
3 grown men can pass out comfortably in an extended cab, there was no need to bring a tent

Copied from the NAC thread.
 
My wife gets angry when I spot badly and she nearly rolls the racecar.

The ballsiest barbie jeep driver will win. I told you all the line that would take it.

I feel being ballsy in a barbie jeep today.

The wieners are attention whores.

I can neglect a box truck for 4 months, toss new batteries in it and drive it trouble free for 700 miles.

I loves the winterfest crew.
 
1. Indiana is cold...too stinkin' cold. Why do you guys wheel at this time of year?
2. Dude in the yellow XJ had everything to fix his rig and everyone elses.
3. Robies makes a great meal...so good I had two of them (hey I only got one slice of pizza - cut me some slack.
4. SAMSET went the hard way.
5. SAMSET has a personal mechanic named REWSTER who fixes his XJ when he breaks it.
6. REWSTER and Goslowgetstuck look much more alike than I realized.
7. Molly makes bacon for the Crawl but not Winterfest - we love you Molly.
8. Fixing an XJ with a broken front shaft becomes a new experience when everything is covered in goey mud and it's 30 degrees outside.
9. An electric blanket is the best thing I brought with me.
10. MWC dudes treat SEC guys as their own.
11. Your raffle rocked. If you won something...send 'em a note thanking them.
12. Barbie Jeep racing could be bad for you health.
13. I'm sure glad Flexd is okay and feeling good. Way to scare us dude.

As a guy who helped plan and put on the SEC event, I can tell you that you guys do a great job. Everything will never be 100% perfect but you guys are at the top. I always have fun and meet new people that become great friends and that is really what this is all about. My hat is off the the MWC BOD and the Team they put together to make this event a success. Good job guys!

Oh yeah, see you in Harlan for the Crawl (shameless plug inserted here).
 
Us Southern folk aren't used to this kinda stuff. We prefer wheeling on 95 degree days and 100 percent humidity with a chance of a thunderstorm.
