You can go mudding in it if the mud is washed over roadway, or on top of frozen soil. Then with 1" of mud you'll never get stuck. And with the right wheel offset you can throw up some killer rooster tails in this thing.

yeah i like to aim for the deep puddles and make the big rooster tails. No opti on MY car.

Studio i almost thought i recognized that gas station, then i saw you're from bryn mawr, then i realized i've never been to that gas station. false alarm.

my friend lives in something darby. upper darby? lower darby? i don't remember. Anyhoo, I'm usually out that way a couple times a year.

That was not my best story.

SURE YOU CAN!

It's called rally cross. Auto cross in the dirt. Check out the SCCA.

That gas station in the picture is actually in the mountains in Montana. It's probably Upper Darby where your friend lives - about five miles from me.
