[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you all own giant farms? Where do you drive your car off of the road? This is so strange.[/quote]

Seriously.  Almost no 4WD/AWD in the country ever are driven off road.  They are purely vanity cars.

Why does anyone in this region need an AWD or a high clearance car?  Maybe once every 3 or 4 years do we get enough snow where it is needed.

But hey lets look like a bunch of tools who can't resist slick marketing campaigns driving around in our gas guzzling steel boxes compensating for something while we kill our planet.

If that was my daughter I'd talk to her about the planet and having some common sense about what she needs rather than being insecure and thinking her self worth is tied up in what she drives.[/quote]

My youngest drives his Jeep off road at least once or twice a month.  He is very into hiking and camping and being outdoors.  He has pulled people out of the mud and snow several times.  He often drives mountainous roads when he takes road trips.  Not all of us are raising pasty kids who sit in front of a computer all day.  For people who love off road travel, camping, hiking, etc.  Jeep is a good choice.  Also, if you are a decent driver, you aren’t going to flip a newer Jeep.  My kids got their licenses out of state at 15.  When they left for college, they had over three years of daily driving experience.  [/quote]

Can you explain-where does he go to drive his car off the road? I don’t really understand how this is legal—do you own a huge
country property somewhere? [/quote]

There are hundreds of miles of designated off-road trails in the National Forest lands of Virginia alone. These are off-road trails the federal government WANTS people to keep driving on, because doing so keeps those trails open and passable so they can be used by medical rescue or firefighting vehicles.

There are also off-road parks, private land with trails and obstacles and camping areas, for people to go off-roading in on a fee-basis.

And yes, people DO own huge swathes of land, particularly on mountainsides, for timber and logging. Land that's too steep for farming or building on is VERY cheap, even more so a generation or two ago. People have Jeeps or ATVs for rural land.

Just because you sit in your 600 sq ft condo on U street and can't fathom how someone would be allowed to drive off-road, doesn't mean it's not a thing. [/quote]
