Can't find the photos now but I have some good shots of a Ford F150 up to its axles in mud. Took forever to get someone to pull us out as we were about a mile from the nearest road and on the wrong side of a creek.
I also badly scratched up an almost new Nissan Titan (about 300 miles on it). I felt bad but it was a rental and we'd paid for the insurance. We were driving in a fairly hilly area, I got stuck, and figured no problem, just slap it in 4WD. Oh crap (or similar more colorful words) I say as I discover they only gave me a 2WD,
person behind the counter wasn't listening as we'd specified 4WD. Only way out was down a steep, tree covered hill. Tree branches + shiny new paintwork = bad.
So if all you did was get stuck its a good day. It only gets really bad when it involves another vehicle or an injury. Anything else is just a lesson.

Haha, reps fault. They never listen when people go to rent cars. My father experienced the same....he reserved a car, Pontiac Grand Prix. When he got to the rental desk, rep says your all taken care of, take this to the booth outside. He and I get to the booth and the attendant says, pick any SUV along the fence. SUV?? WTF happened to the car? Anyway, my father ended up getting more for his money as the SUV is always more to rent here than a car.
