Climbing a massive hill in my backyard

Not sure how the gnarliness of the hill really translated to the video, but I'm impressed I didn't get it (too) stuck. I can't figure out if I'm really dumb or the wagon is really awesome. The wagon's awesomness probably masked my dumb decisions. Yeah, that's it.

    It took them with grace and dignity. I do love it (more than my other cars? it's looking that way), even though I put it through its paces! The oil pan looks great, even after doing this today:

    I'm not used to having such clearance compared to my CRX. The heavily sloped hood allows that engine to sit up nice and high. I did smack the front cross member stupidly doing about 40+ into some gnarly potholes, I was sure I'd see radiator leaking everywhere but NOPE!

    Just read through your thread and subscribed, perhaps I'll take some pages from your book and clean it up all shiny-like. Then I might feel bad for taking it off-road and camping, etc...

    I think you will find Wagon engine bay has less clearance between hood and motor than a Hatch (at the front anyway)
