Gravel fun... or not so much.
Had a little fun in a gravel parking lot behind my workplace, was pretty fun sliding around. Big place, even had some cones out for when they train truck drivers.
Unfortunately the side skirts took a little beating. Maybe mud flaps would help control the damage in the future? Some 3m Clear Bra stuff to maybe.
Gonna have to find time to take the side skirts off, use some sort of urethane filler ,and sand, and paint, and clear the affected areas... I hear the brand Fusor works pretty well. I'm preping the lube for when I buy the paint, hope it doesn't hurt too much.
Edit: Maybe I should spray the side skirts with that textured rocker panel chip guard :P Might look kinda funny though. I wonder if there are any Rally-Cross events in my area...

hell yeh man! thats what im talking about. I hit up a dirt field one day.. what a blast!!
Heres a pic i posted awhile ago of the event..
And that was only a few minutes of offroading fun.. i have since installed front mud flaps.. real easy.. took like 10-15 minutes and cost 10 bucks (generic brand) and u dont even notice them... go do this right now! lol it helps out the paint and also keeps ur car cleaner imo

Picked up some over sized mud flaps today, gotta get some spare time to install em. On the plus side, the excursion is going to force me to buy some new wheels. 
I did some googling earlier, apparently there is a Finger Lakes Rally event held annually in the winter or so it seemed. Anyone in the CNY area check out the cny-scca forums.
