Offroading.

I have a somewhat capable truck but very limited places to get to try out its full capabilities. Here it's illegal to drive motor vehicles without permission on a land that you don't own.

    So much fun, good memories with the offroad group I fell in with during the Forum era of the internet, some of us still keep in touch.

    The group had people from around the US, and even though I lived in a place like you are now there were opportunities for road trips to meet up with & go with waaaay more experienced people.

    I was NOT mechanically inclined but made Incredible meals camping (sushi, smoked pulled pork, bbq tri tip beef, etc.) so I traded that for help installing mods & fixing broken shit.

    The group also went to the national meet up, but we never went on "official" runs, just went on our own and to make shenanigans & meet up.

    Check out (your vehicle) 4x4 groups and start there!

    Burn fossil fuel and tear up the land?

    God forbid someone finds cars fun, right?

    You could probably design and build an ev off-road vehicle. It would likely suck as the batteries are super heavy, but someone could.

    As for land, it's amazing how a lot of places designate ohv (off highway vehicle) trails and put time and money to maintain them so they don't completely ruin the area.
