My '84 Subaru wagon with low range was pretty awesome off-road. 14" tires and all.

That was our 1st car when we got married 18 years ago. 2.8 v6, yes it did go everywhere, once it became the extra car I used it to go hunting all the time. Never got stuck with it, heh. Oh yeah, I remember the sporty x-11, it had a cowl hood from the factory. The motor in that car I believe also ended up in the early Z24 Cavaliers.
