The Nerdmobile doesn’t get much recognition but I couldn’t do my backroads wandering without it. It’s an Elantra so it’s too low to the ground to safely take on many backroads but we still make it to most places I wish to go.

Truth is, I’m dying to have a Jeep or something a little higher for my adventure trips. I sometimes pass up an enticing road because I don’t want to tear out the underneath of my car.

However, I like the fuel efficiency of the Elantra and am otherwise perfectly happy with this little car.

In fact, it’s probably for the best there are some limitations to my wandering. I’m just grateful that I recognize them!
