They're cool vehicles. And it may very well be the best vehicle imaginable for someone who lives in a city (because who cares about door dings, people backing into you while parallel parking, etc.? and they can ride over curbs and potholes like nothing ever happened, AND they turn like a forklift, which is a plus on tight streets and for parking), but if you're not paying really good attention on the highway or if you don't leave plenty of room for other drivers, lest you have to make a sudden lane change, you're going to easily roll the thing.

You sure about that?

The guy knows how to have a good time. In all seriousness, I like being me. But I grew up really poor and am super anal about all of my possessions. I could never dunk a Jeep in mud like that. Scot clearly doesn't give an eff, and I somewhat envy that... in a "Hey, good for him" kind of way. Not like genuine envy.

Hats off to you sir.


I rented a two door when I was in kona/hilo, they ride well enough on the road but I imagine if I had the soft top it'd be different. Had so much fun off roading going to the green sand beach.

I was like that with my f355 and it pissed off a few people at ferrarichat.com. So I would randomly post pictures of it reallllly dirty, with a bike rack mounted to it, or sitting in the snow and ask them how much I just devalued the car.
