OT: Hey Travis / Offroad experience

Hey you :)

You are the sumbiatch who gave me the spark to off-roading, tried it with my other Subaru (STW) earlier this year and last winter, but yesterday I bought another 4wd Subaru... and within 24 hours I had gotten some Real MUD on it! Yes, I did take it off road, drove uphill on a field, all icky gooey mud.. the kind that would suck your boots off. Didn't get too far, I entered too slow.. but I DID it and that's what counts.. lol.. and within 24 hours of actually getting the car.. :D

Planning on having some sand sacks in the back? Those vans can be a real pain to drive empty when it is slippery. Ok, it has rear engine, that might help.

Haven't tried 4WD van on ice, but both FWD and RWD in my experience act very unbalanced regardless of tires when the cargo compartment is empty.

Idunno, shutting up.

Dude! That should be able to drive around your house really well though. Still think your subey wagon is faster though lol"This thing really comes alive at over 3500RPM.. STOMP ON IT!".. My ranger is like that too lol.

Hehe.. yes?

This beast is half (third?) the size of your vanagon, so it leaves more room on my yard for VW's.... How's that for acceptable explanation? :P

Only some of them..

They do pretty well off road (remember teh ground clearance and long wheelbase), but when something breaks it's pricey.
