    Offroading.

    I have a somewhat capable truck but very limited places to get to try out its full capabilities. Here it’s illegal to drive motor vehicles without permission on a land that you don’t own.

      So much fun, good memories with the offroad group I fell in with during the Forum era of the internet, some of us still keep in touch.

      The group had people from around the US, and even though I lived in a place like you are now there were opportunities for road trips to meet up with & go with waaaay more experienced people.

      I was NOT mechanically inclined but made Incredible meals camping (sushi, smoked pulled pork, bbq tri tip beef, etc.) so I traded that for help installing mods & fixing broken shit.

      The group also went to the national meet up, but we never went on “official” runs, just went on our own and to make shenanigans & meet up.

      Check out (your vehicle) 4x4 groups and start there!

        God forbid someone finds cars fun, right?

        You could probably design and build an ev off-road vehicle. It would likely suck as the batteries are super heavy, but someone could.

        As for land, it’s amazing how a lot of places designate ohv (off highway vehicle) trails and put time and money to maintain them so they don’t completely ruin the area.
