Default OUR CRAZY SUBARU OFFROADING ADVENTURE!!!!!
Josh and I took our cars up a Jeep trail on Saturday. I ended up going down a trail that I shouldn't have. I ended up making it with no damage, but I was on 2 wheels at one point. First are some pics before I did my rock downhill adventure.

We later found a parking lot and attempted to do a few dounuts.

Anyway, Here are the pics before I tried my downhill and before Josh's turn around manuvers.

I have tons of video footage also. I will start a second thread showing the donuts.

Videos will be up later tonight -

Pictures:

Gatta say I was nervous, but we ended up making it fine, (although I had wheels off the ground and inches from that rock), and I had a blast out there. And no damage at all. Needless to say, we didn't want Josh to attempt to hurt the STi, so he turned around. We have a video of that also. Loading them now.

Oooh, neat pics! I still want to do that sometime with my car... But I need a spare set of wheels, and to disconnect my swaybars, and then raise the crap out of my suspension

Too bad they don't have low-range for all that hard-core crawling.
