Default What do you use it for

What kind of things do you guys like to do with your buggies? Hit jumps, book around the street, tear up nice loose dirt? me, i like to floor it around construction sites with lots of loose dirt, and having a big cloud of dust following my buggy. Hard to beleive, but i bought my buggy off ebay for 220$, which included the radio, and it is performing awsome! its a no name buggy, and it just goes so fast, shift clean. the only problem right now is that it is only front wheel drive because a rod came loose that connects the tranny to the reer wheels...so once i get that fixed itll be sweet! i also can't wait for the snow to come for us Ontarians...gun be fun.
p.s. sorry, this post kind of went a few ways. :S

Default RE: What do you use it for

I would say for me its 80/20. I race my buggy 80% with two of my buddies on his back yard track (well actually side yard). The other 20% is when I load my buggy up with me when I go out to ride my dirt bike. Usually I can find some crazy jumps out in the Arizona desert to hit. The most fun though is coming up in a month for Thanksgiving weekend (U.S., not Canadian -- different dates). We take our cars (and more importantly our dirt bikes) to the Imperial Sand Dunes in Glamis, CA. Theres nothing like seeing a buggy with paddle tires throwing huge roost and hitting jumps over the camp fire, or where ever else we dig one.

Except of course when you see someone out there doing it in a 1:1 buggy.
