I ran into some traffic yesterday on the Beltway here on my way home from the weekend. I car blocked my backup plan of getting off early and taking back roads. I decided I would try and touch it out. I crested a hill and saw at least a 2 mile back up. I was in the far right lane and noticed that SUVs were driving over the concrete median to get to the exit that I missed. It's one where you have to get over well before the exit because it's semi-seperate.

I pointed out all the SUVs to my girl and she was like "They're actually using them for someother other than a highway." Well because I missed said entrance I decided I was going to try and follow them. I found the lowest section of what was basically a long concrete island and started up it very slow and a 45 degree angle. I made it up onto the island scrape free and thought for sure I was going to knock something off on the way down. Much to my surprise I went slow enough that I cleared the entire thing without scraping a thing. I couldn't believe it. The move probably saved me 30-45 minutes. I've thought about getting a body kit or lowering my car but this incident is going to make me think twice. At this to the reason why we don't need SUVs.

 

my friend is worse, he would swear his lude is a rally car - every once in a while he will roll up and its CAKED in mud

 

I was about to do a little off roading, then I remembered my car was lowered, so nevermind about that

 

offroading for me....is bottoming out on a high arched railroad crossing at 300 in the morning at the street races and having to tie my front fascia on with speaker wire till I get home so I can fix it *ouch*
