Great story Jim. Here's mine, which isn't as dramatic. Several years ago I took a young woman I was dating out for a ride through the mountains in my 62 W300. After a while we went up a canyon which had been features a major dam. Near the dam the federal government used to have some buildings, which they later removed, leaving the foundations. When I got to that point in the road I put the truck in reverse to back up, not knowing the foundations were there, and promptly dropped the rear end of the truck right into one. It was about three and half feet deep but the factory W300 has so much clearance it didn't even touch the frame. It would have caused major damage to a regular truck. Anyway, I put the truck in four wheel drive and it drove right up and over the foundation wall, just like it was a little bump. The girl married me in spite of all of this, although I am occasionally reminded of it.
