I am thinking of letting my wife Laura actually drive Subzila for the first time, and have her take it off road, should I do this? She has never driven anything like Subzila much less off road. What do you think, am I crazy or just go for it?

Won't be too long and the speakers will be hooked up and the rear cargo box built. I have been caught up with honey do's, work, and school have not been able to put in any work on Subzila, well not much work anyway I have the cargo box half built. More videos will be out soon.
