hell yeah! there are far too many people out there that can't even drive a shopping cart, let alone trying to wheel off the beaten path.

Yeah, I agree with okvortec that the driver is the big difference. But I have to say anyone that can off-road a Civic or even mudding in a Civic in mud puddles deserves a gold star in my book.

Haha someone wants a gold star. If my mom wasn't obsessed with her civic I'd try taking it mudding. And if I had the money, I'd take a Bugatti Veyron mudding...

Oh wait someone already beat me to it except he went in salt water....Apparently he was distracted by a pelican or seagull, got stuck in a mud rut and the rut went to a salt water lagoon. Then it gurgled for 10minutes and died.

Sorry I don't know how to do the links as normal text... I'm still semi-computer-stupid.

bet nobody knew a '98 Escort could remove 4" thick ice from a trail? neither did the A/C rad or lower bumper panel! BWAHAHAHAHA!
