Default "do you take it offroad?

i get this question with my jeep all the time and it seems really dumb to me. exhaust shops, tire places, 4x4 stores or even on the street. people always want to know "u take it offroad?". i would think that fact that its lifted with mud tires, winch , snorkel...ext that it would be pretty self explanatory. often i just say "no, i would hate to get it dirty. you know its not really an off road car".

anyone else get this

I found leaving the mud on helps avoid such questions

I feel the people that complain about their rides being a "mall crawler" are the ones who crawl the malls.....Just saying.

haha, I'll confess though that when I wash it I go all out with the detailing to the point where it looks like a pavement queen.
