Have fun when you go flying through the grass and hit a big hole or culvert and either roll or better yet fly into the car you're passing. Not going to say I haven't done it but I prefer the other lane where I can see what I'm driving on.

No. People drive "dumb" in any/every car. People don't like our sport because a ton of offroaders tear up the earth. Down here off almost every two lane road where water gathers is a giant mudhole that people have tore up. In MT, there are areas they had to shut down completely because instead of staying on the trails, people were tearing up the side of the mountains, crossing creeks, and flooring it in every mudhole along the way.
People with smart cars/prius etc. hate us because they get 40 mpg and we are causing global warming getting 10mpg.
Then there is the noise. I even find it annoying when a truck goes flying by with an open exhaust. Then again I find Harley Davisons annoying for the same reason.
I have seen people in minivans pass people off the side of the road. It is not even an "offroading" type of thing.

I've passed people turning left off a two lane road by going off road. Its fun when there's a puddle. But I haven't don't it at speed, that's just asking for it. Grass hides bumps and sharp **** pretty good.

I have done it twice today, in fact. On my way to college... and back home from college. I don't know what it is that makes people drive 30 when all the traffic in front of them is going 45.
Man I want a train horn really bad too.

I don't think there is going to be a thread called "I was passing people by driving on the shoulder and it was dark and I hit a culvert and rolled my jeep and killed my baby brother who was in the passenger seat"
