$20k Buys an OK vehicle...Or.....

[waggy]

Fuck those things. My friend brought one to a campout and thought I was going to die. Too fast, too drifty, too insane and no HELMET! I swear, I am atheist but I was praying pretty hard in the back seat of that damn thing. Boulders were flying by at over 60mph on a narrow, rocky desert path with unexpected hairpin turns. Can't believe he didn't crash.
I CAN say that these vehicles are amazing. They take the roughest terrain like a cadillac. I mean, driving over rocks the size of basket balls and you barely feel a thing.
His was exactly like the one in the picture.

yeah. we ride them around the fields after the corn is down. there are some places the mud is thick. it is a lot of fun but can be scarry as fuck since they go so fast.

That's right, $19,500k out the door. People who don't realize how fun these are think that is crazy, I figured this would be the place that understood the least of all.

I actually have to keep the Shelby GT500 on the driveway for now (in sig) because I don't have room for it in the garage.

So how stupid was this to buy a glorified golf-cart for this much?

For reference, this is what Rzrs do:

If $20k only buys an OK vehicle, you're doing it wrong.

I got to take a Kubota RTV out for a work project a couple days last month. Kubotas are geared lower than the Rzrs so top speed is 25mph but the thing would climb cliffs. Next month we are renting a Ranger or Rzr for a couple days to go play. I'm looking forward to it.

So is it $20k or $19,500k? MAKE UP YOUR MIND!

Also, bad deal eitherway.

My uncle has one of these and I've been out in the desert in it. It's a lot of fun and a lot more useful and comfortable than a 4 wheeler or dirt bike.

It seems neat and all, but I would think you'd get more versatility with something like a Jeep Wrangler. Street legal, tows stuff, etc. etc.

It'd be nice if you have 20k to simply burn, but if I needed something that could do what that does, I'd just buy a wrangler, as I could use it for other things as well.

cool, so when we meeting up? I'll bring the tacos, bull penises, blunts, and 40's. You bring that thing in the OP.

That is not a vehicle it's a toy with zero practical use.

since when do toys need to have a practical use besides having fun?
