My wife and I moved to Vancouver, Washington, in March with our new Wrangler Unlimited. We've only hit trails a couple times and once to the
Hot Springs (Arkansas) ORV Park. Mostly we use it to ferry one of our dogs to the dog park, and pick up supplies from Lowe's
We'd love to join a group drive on occasion. Our Jeep will be stock for the foreseeable future, so excessive rock crawling is out, but getting dirty on trails is definitely in. Filth and scratches don't scare us (on our vehicle or ourselves!), but I'm not ready to rip the fenders off or wrinkle the body just yet
We also have a
Honda S2000. Due to current gas prices we are budgeting ourselves to one
vehicular entertainment weekend per month. Oddly enough, the S2000 is considerably cheaper to operate. But we're really aching for some off-road time.
It's pretty great to find this forum, which appears to be fairly active. We've used the S2000 community to get to know people in the area and it's been a huge resource.
