You, sir, don't have enough MB sedans! Something like the Frankenheap
is _very_ suitable for rutted logging roads. Especially if you have a
chain and a friend with a 4wd in caravan.
I dunno. I think the low-hanging oil pan on these cars is too much of a
liability. My Mercedes is a total beater, but I wouldn't want to take
it on a rough road for that reason alone.
I used to have a lot of fun poking around logging roads in my old VW
Bus. Once I came to the rescue of some guys who had hydro-locked their
Jeep, but that's another story. :)
