A local fiero nut here introduced me to another kind of fun recently... off-roading! Not the Fiero though, of course. So to make a long story short, I bought myself a 1980 4WD Subaru DL for 100 bucks, and it only has 70,000 miles but it's rusty as hell. The car had been sitting for over a year, but it started right up with no problems. Then a friend of mine traded his ugly rims for my nicer aluminum rims for 50 bucks, so the car is mine for 50! You wouldn't believe the stuff I've taken this little car through in one day... I've never said "oh sh*t!" so many times in a day before. And you wouldn't believe the hellacious burnout this thing will do when you dump the clutch. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....

All my friends (both of them) used to have cut down VW bugs with mud tires. We would go "buggin'" at least once a month during the summer. Chad got the nick-name "Drain-Plug" when he sank his bug and after pulling it out, the interior was full of water- so being a creative red neck, he pulled the 44 Magnum and installed a new drain hole in each floor pan. No more trapped water!

I got pics, but I need to get them developed... A friend and I took our Subu's through some crazy sh*t tonight! I got the front end momentarily submerged twice. Just need to let her dry off for a few minutes and it fired right back up. 1FST, when you come out here we should run my Subaru through the mud a few times! hehe....
I have a 76 F250 with a 390. I go muddin. Not too often anymore but I do love to go out and get dirty. I just saw a MOG the other day. I think I need one.
hehehe... I love taking my 88 Mazda 323 GTX out on dirt roads and gettin sideways. 147hp and 153lbs torque is a whole lotta fun with full time all wheel drive! I wish it had more clearance though. I have no idea how you get your subie to do burnouts. I dump my clutch at 3700 and it just GOES! Can't break loose a tire no matter how hard I try

I have an 84' Jeep CJ7 with a 7 1/2 inch lift, 42in tires in the rear, 40in tires in front. Got a 383 Stroker with a TH350 with 4 11's that I took out of a 78' Camaro Z28. I had the rollbar redone, reinforced, and welded str8 to the frame. I put a wench on it. Now I intentionally roll the damn thing. I've rolled it 4 times, beat the body, and still have fun for about 4-5 miles to the gallon!
