Some rich kid "my daddy got me a go kart"

This kid " bring it over Saturday, I've got some trails " (sniggers audibly)

I can't believe that no one has commented on how lousy his 3.08 gears are...

Ha, I said something similar to a guy with a Hemi Dodge p/u.
He said, I can go anywhere that little Jeep can go.
Ok, follow me... he hung in there , but his paint was a wreck.
And I'm not one to shy away from a tight squeeze or brush.
He didn't go with his FIL on another trail ride since.

I love it . I've got a little place I've been fantasizing a four-door would follow me on .

People think everything is pretty much equal but you get off road and you find out real quick why a Jeep is considered overall the most capable off-road vehicle mass-produced.

A Jeep is pretty much the mountain goat of the vehicle world.

i was thinking it at first, but with the transfer-case gearing it looks like it moves well enough

My comment was mostly humor-based, as I've got no idea what his TC gearing is like, and I know that's a factor, as well. T'sall in good fun!

Just seen this for sale on Facebook for $18,500 said his kid drove it twice and doesn’t care for it.

yeppers, seen the same thing. Wondering if a 6’3 adult kid can fit in it
