King of Elbe 2023


:ROFLMAO: at the exocaged Samurai or whatever that comes around the corner like the KoolAid man at 8:15 and immediately rams his front diff into the very first rock in the garden, powers through it and then 5 seconds later slams into another rock and sprays some sort of fluid everywhere. Don't know what that was but he just kept going for another 2 minutes after that without making much progress.

I admit that it may be my personal prejudice but I'm yawning and reaching for the fast-forward button when it's a SxS. Real rigs are just way more fun to watch.

Yeah very strange. I watched the guy do a couple runs in the days leading up to the race and he did pretty dang good. I think he even competed last year.

Not sure what that was, maybe luck or one too many coors.

I gotta say those things surprisingly capable right out of the box. They keep up with the most built rigs on everything but the biggest rocks/holes.

But they break a lot. Helped weld one that broke a tie rod

maybe that's why they bore me. Because it's too easy to just pull out the checkbook and then go run with real wheelers without having any talent.

I say that having barely ever been behind the wheel of a side by side, but having seen enough of them piloted by drunk idiots walk right up stuff that takes a built rig and a skilled driver.
