Sand Dunes are not for daily driver cars. Sand gets everywhere in the engine and undercarriage.

It can **** up your u-joints and get in your starter motor. I agree with c32c7 about much more fun on a bike or quad or dune buggy.

that and they ticket for making a course, or lapping the same area and causing erosion unless youre doing a jump i guess.

and my friends and i were chasing each other in jeeps and trucks and having some close calls, like 10 feet away from eachother and they hassled us for that lol

sand is for people who are afraid of trees and rocks!
