I mean, it is an amphibious exploring vehicle, so it should be fine, right?

My Jeep is a very capable “off road” vehicle, and I’ll be arrested for driving it off road in many places.

I’ll also quickly destroy it if I go too hard or too far off road.

can I ask why you bought it, knowing these limitations?

Most jeeps never go off-road

Because "decent off road" = "I can navigate someone's overgrown shitpile of a mountain side driveway during mud season with low effort and nearly guaranteed success"

Also it's one of two convertible SUVs on the market so if you want that your options are basically a coin toss.

Because there are lots of places you can legally drive it off road. And driving off road is really fun. He didn't say it's totally illegal to drive off road.

By “off road” I mean, go where no bulldozer or car has ever gone.

Ie off the roads.

Very often illegal
