Nope, but in high school a buddy and I took his '84 yota Tercell Wagon (nicknamed it the anti-christ) in places you'd never think possible in the mountains near Colorado Springs :-)

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.
