Buying expensive offroad cars
Dont bash the gold disco, Ive got one.
You can go anywhere if you don't give a shit about your car
>I drove in a little puddle with my Subaru
>Mud lyf
I have seen Rastafarian ganja farmers drive Nissan Sunnys along some tricky trails but even they have their limits. That's why Jah gave them two feet, so they could walk the rest of the way to the field
This honestly.

Literally this. Top gear is the prime example. They did the whole Botswana special to show you didn't "need" a 4x4 in England
that lotus blew my mind in the south america special, how does it not break down when beaten like that?
And how did a beaten up 1980s carbureted Range Rover, a car notorious for being possibly the most unreliable vehicle ever produced, survive climbing up from literal sea-level to 16,000 ft above sea level and back down without a problem
Just because a car is shit doesn't mean it wont work perfectly if it's not actually broken.
Fuck off cunt. You post your little shit box in every thread relating to off reading. We get it. You think you're special for taking your cuckbox off road. Like we all didn't start that way then realize we wanted more.
I've posted it like twice but it's definitely showing up more often if it's legitimately upsetting you.
It's especially hilarious given that it's a thread about only needing a shitbox to take your car slightly off pavement.
omg the last two letters of that number plate clearly mean "nigger"

I had a 2wd pickup exported from America to trinidad that was totally stripped and rebuilt after an accident and sent to my country.
The only thing good on it was the window glass, prop shaft, master brake cylinder and the right rear wheel cylinder.

I could go on all day long with this but the point is that once I got it turned over it would run all day. I would over load it and drive on tracks worse than what you see on top gear and get from A to B every day. If the road was good I drove slow. If the road was bad I drove real slow. If the road was dangerous I would be the slowest thing in the world on for wheels.
Why? Because I didn't care about that fucking POS.
I kinda miss it.

no. i will give you that most people vastly under-estimate the capability of their vehicle, and thus you will have people in jeeps and 4x4 trucks shitting their pants at what a clearly less capable vehicle is able to cross though.
>tfw no madmax crawler
You also got a lot of people who over estimate their capabilities and wind up writing off their vehicle because they wanted to show off on a small hill when they had a perfectly good road right next to it
Quick unrelated question. Do regular all-season tires get better traction on dry rocks than mud tires? If so, why do pure rock crawlers have these ugly ridged mud tires.
Depends how smooth the rocks are. Rougher rocks you would benefit from deeper and wider lugs but on smooth rocks you would prefer more contact area.
In terms of the pure rock crawler it may be that they encounter mud in between the rock faces but you may notice that more than 95% of recreational rock crawling happens in SoCal so I have no idea what they are thinking.

Hey man, it's pretty fucking wet in socal right now
>mfw being evaluated for a fire, then mudslides, and now mudslides again
I love you, California...
