    Default Stuck in mud

    I though this would be the sensible section to post this in!

    got my car stuck in stupidly thick mud today, doing delivery driving and took wrong track.. i'll be getting towed out with a 4x4 tomoro morning but need some advice.

    my car is on lowered suspension (50mm) and it appears that the bottom of the car is sitting on or in the mud. What damage can be done and what issues do i need to check for when its out? I'm worried about scraped parts underneath the car when i get pulled out, anyone had experience with this?

    praying to god i haven't damaged the exhaust, bottom of engine or wheels in any way, just wondering what i need to check for and how i'd notice if the alignment is off or something along those lines..

    If the muds soft enough to get stuck in i doubt you've done any damage, it may be resting on the exhaust, but thats what the rubber bushes are for so theres movement, so that should be fine, theres nothing it can damage in all honesty, just give it a clean off when you get home

    Had some old biddy pull out on me at a roundabout aswell this afternoon so it's not been an overly good one!
