Fun Fact...

Fines For Muddy Cars
In Minnetonka, Minn., it is considered a public nuisance, and therefore illegal, for “a truck or other vehicle whose wheels or tires deposit mud, dirt, sticky substances, litter or other material on any street or highway.”

All violations of the Minnetonka code are subject to fines up to $2,000, but a spokesperson said the city “attempts several other measures to mitigate the situation before pursuing."



We'd all be fined...

I guess there aren't any kind of farms in Minnetonka, Minn.
And WTF is up with a town that has the name Tonka in it having a law like that!!!!!!!!!!!

God I hate Minnetonka..... used to have to go there a lot for work, although I did get my first Chipolte there....

There's actually a ton of places that have that same kind of law. It's primarily aimed at construction trucks and keeping the streets cleaned around sites. I've seen lots of people fined for it when I worked construction - but they were usually dump trucks and the like.

I'm gonna weigh in here... With pics tomorrow. Minnetonka is actually amazing...

Well, I don't know if I would go as far as "Amazing."

Look at us all defending a law that would give us a really expensive ticket most days of the week.

Mud sucks. Clean your damn' Jeep.


Lake Minnetonka was awesome. White Bear Lake was nice too. We stayed in Apple Valley and saw a lot of the Minne/St P area. We even stopped at the I35 bridge. Some of the huge I beams were still there, twisted like they were made from play dough.

On a brighter note, if you guys ever have the chance to get out there, the Minnesota zoo is absolutely awesome. It's clean and the animals look VERY healthy and well kept. That's something coming from me, as I'm not a fan of zoo's or caged animals.

Just a quiet day on lake I'll take a muddy car law (which I have never heard about ever being enforced) for the "view"

Those animals do look well kept.
