Off Roading Picture Thread (56k)

this is a sticky? well time for a bump.

I never posted these pics before, I here's my off-roading adventure, happened at the end of 2010 (never want to do that again lol) I took a shortcut lol.

You can see I had some trouble getting out of the ditch at the bottom lol.....

Lexus or corolla?

let's see.... at the end of 2010, I was driving a COROLLA! DING DING DING!!! lol j/k.

Well you never exactly said when you got the IS, as far as I know.

well you're good at finding old posts, and you seem to have a great memory, so you should know. Oh well lol.

hahahahaha!!!
well honestly, it was a mistake. Let's see, I think I have more pics.

yeah, here's the start of the ramp, when I was coming up to this corner (so before where I took the pic), I honestly thought that the ramp went into that opening of trees, I thought the highway went through that gap. And of course, the ramp looks like it goes that way.... so I figured I didn't have to slow down for it cause it was a straight shot. Only to go OH SH%%%%%%%T and straight over the edge (pics you see above).


turns out lots of people take this "shortcut" lol. Notice the knocked-down reflectors in the earlier pics, and in these pics, the extra tracks and that knocked-over tree.




I got really lucky to not hit anything, and to control the car down the hill without flipping, and then to get out of the ditch. Yeah all the traffic on the highway let me in lol.

Nothing more than some grass and dirt on the wheels when it was all said and done.

I think that could be gold's first win.

I bet that would break my indestructible TRD lip lol

lol, seriously? I thought it was a pretty large fail on my part. At least I didn't get a scratch.

seriously, a guardrail? I'm very glad there wasn't one, cause that would have destroyed my car for sure, and I'd probably have gone through it at that speed/angle.

But the reflectors are lying all over the grass lol. They were already knocked over. You see my tracks go right over one!


and I had body kits, but fortunately, I was still in 4x4 SUV mode at this time lol

I told you... cause it looked like a straight shot on the ramp, so I was going from one highway to the other and didn't slow down.

I drove back the next day with a camera, pulled over, and took pics (I also wanted to see the aftermath)

Hence, win not fail.

Yo dude those are totally fuctional vents bro, they totally take out the heat from that hot fast JDM engine when it burns all that oil yo.

.... says the guy with the mad tite JDM hood tilt yo.

**looks at last pics I posted**
And where are those? I took that off with the carbon fiber hood that already has a vent. It's right behind the radiator, that shit works. You can see the heat pouring out from there when the car is stopped. I had the hood tilt thing when I had the OEM hood. And if I go back to that for a while, yes I will put it back, because that also works. It would defrost my windshield for me on cold mornings.

No he didn't see above post lol

You'll take it where?
But yeah fender vents still don't work because on the inside of the fender another solid piece of metal blocking the engine bay from the fender. Pointless.

Oh god I hope he didn't do that.
