The nice thing about this is that no matter which way you go when you lose control — and you will lose control — you know it’s gonna be a high-side.
Last Call indicates the end of Hooniverse’s broadcast day. It’s meant to be an open forum for anyone and anything. Thread jacking is not only accepted, it’s encouraged.

    The paint and shine on that 4 wheeler is hard on my old eyes.

      True. Even it it’s a fun product, the presentation makes it look like something that only a young Vanilla Ice should ride.

    …and you know that there is NO way that it will not end up on top of you in that high-side.

      I almost had a 3wheeler roll on top of me. Because I was a dumbass and wanted to see if it would go up a steep hill in my work parking lot. The answer: For the most part

    I found this brochure for the Spanish-built Renault 7 at http://storm.oldcarmanualproject.com/. Given the American preference for trunked cars over hatchbacks, would this have helped Renault in the USA? It could have been part of the imported R5/LeCar range as early as the beginning in 1976.

    Couple of days ago was discussion about stupid car co. names somewhere here. I learned that there’s Italian outfit SCAM which builds offroad versions of Fiat and Iveco vans. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCAM_Srl

      I now wish that SCAM built the Charade.
