Anyone ever tried taking your FB in a really sandy trail... I did

Get some lower links from Cascade Autosport then. The stock one will bend easily...
They are in North Bend.

WHAT?!!? You get your cars dirty?

Hehe. The other day out here I was showing my car off to my girlfriend's brother who came to visit us. Almost every road out here is like the Laguna Seca race track....so we had out fun on them.

We took another road out, just driving and looking for cars to play with.....and we saw this huge sandy area off to the side......so we pulled in there....and started just spinning and being dumb.....making huge dust clouds (I guess it wasnt really sand)....

It was hilarious...til I stopped...and pulled onto the street, and seen how dirty my car was now......as I was remembering that I just finished detailing it a few hours earlier.

D'oh!

I know you're joking, but...You get your cars dirty? WHY? I wash my car at least once a week. I hate any dirt at all to be on it. And what's weird is that I'm not even a clean freak normally. When it comes to my car, however...

... every mound, smashing relentlessly against the RX's underbelling, creating a mirror image of its likeness in your floorpan...

You guys crack me up!
