Took my CL off roading...

So I'm cruising down the road on the way home from a movie when I see a sign that says "Road Closed." "Don't mind that," my friend says "I saw cars coming out at the other end on the way here." So I proceed down the road..with a steady 55mph or so the road suddenly comes to an end and I feel like I'm driving my car down a black diamond ski run and my car's airborn like the General Lee. I guess I should pay more attention to the road...the car handled it pretty well.

lol. the CL does ok on those type of roads...

Last summer I was in cape cod and heading to P-Town...

there only 1 main road through the cape..
But there was a big accident and traffic was backed up for miles.

So I clicked detour on the Navi and she sent me down some desolate dirt road.... the car did ok... and it got me around the traffic jam.

hooray!

Our CL-s has a 7.5 inch ground clearance. The TL has 6.5. We may be better than most of those 4cyl mini-suv's
