YUP! I'm proud to say I get my car muddy! Not enough people doing that these days. I have to search long and hard to find some decent mud even when I'm lowered. There's not enough flat open dirt around where I live and even then I have to be careful so I don't get stuck.

99% of used STi's are safe to buy because 99% of STi owners are too scared to use their car for whats its made for.....the dirt

There's nothing wrong with the dirt - you can't really hurt the car, you know?

Not so sure about the driving on grassy areas or construction lots. It looks like fun, but someone's going to have to clean that up.

2 in Vallejo, 2 in Antioch but not until August. there are others too, but those are the closest ones to drive to in the Morning and then drive home after. The others are in Rancho Cordova (west of Sac) and Thunderhill (100 miles north of Sac)

I drove like that for a while but now I prefer to use power to rotate the car. It generally feels more controlled and its a whole lot more fun. Then again, I guess with 150hp you have to rely on some other tricks

yeah, add 140 treadwear bridgestones to that equation and you cant really do anything with power.

in the dirt video i was using bald re92's so yeah, no other choice than to drift.

it wasnt a construction site either. its just basically an access road that people offroad on all the time. it gets bad when big trucks go thru the mud and make huge ruts. its not a pretty sound when i get into one of those ruts.

also, the grass is right on the side of the access road, so if anything, i'd say its the city's responsibility. but, i just drove on it, i didnt do any donuts. those sprinklers are on 24/7 so i dont think they really care about the grass too much.
