I used to have an off road capable van but I recently bought a newer, non-offroadable van. The new van is much more efficient for highway travel, which is the main thing I will do with it, but every now and then I wish I had more ground clearance to get over a rough bit of trail.

Legs might be useful in other ways as well. The car could lift itself up so a tyre can be changed. It could walk into a tight parking spot.
