In my Miata I’m always tempted to go right under these

We’re in a Jimny and we were sure we could fit too!

I rented a Jimny on a trip to Iceland and loved it. They don’t exist in Canada. What a fun car.

Likewise on several of my motorcycles. I imagine neither of us will have been the only ones to try it, and I’ll bet you plenty of people have failed.

At least I’m wearing a helmet, right…?

There’s a lot of gnarly ruts on trails around me, I can only dream of such ground clearance!

That has to be faked, right? The casually displayed beer at the end is just too much of a giveaway.
Show threadfubbernuckinMar 6
How could that be a giveaway? I’m open to it being fake like anything else, but like, rednecks drinking beer on the road while doing something irresponsible and dangerous? If anything that kinda solidifies that it’s real to me.

…i won’t say how i know, but i can personally vouch that a lotus elise is lower than the ground clearance beneath an HEB semi-trailer…

Is that a jimny you’re driving?
Show threadjohsnyMar 6
Yep.

I wish we could get those in the US. We are sorely lacking in awesome little 4x4’s.
Show threadtpyoMar 7

That is a really awesome vehicle!

I didn’t know that it was, so I looked it up:

www.globalsuzuki.com/automobile/lineup/jimny/

I was more and more impressed as I looked through the page. Plus it’s a manual!! I’m sold; too bad I also cannot buy one

Do you happen know their price range?

I have no idea what they cost. They used to sell the Jimny here in the US, in the 1980’s and 1990’s. They called them “Samurai” when they sold them here.

I have a Suzuki Samurai.

Show threadtpyoMar 8

Oh I remember them as samurais! I have a coworker who had one for a long time, and was stolen a couple years ago from his buddy’s yard who was working on it

It was adorable. Yeah, thanks for that detail! Those were really cool

What manner of machine is that? I feel like it would only look that much more fitting with walker legs instead of wheels.

In fact, this whole picture gives me some real Simon Stålenhag vibes, if only you and your car had been in frame as well.

Not exactly sure what it does, but it is built like that to drive along rows of corn without damaging the plants.
Show threadObiMar 6
I’m probably wrong but it looks pretty similar to some machines I’ve seen that are used to work vineyards in France, the 50 max speed sticker also fits with Europe.
Show threadikiddMar 6
It’s a high-clearance sprayer, probably a 4940. We have one for grain cropping.

You captured the equipment at a great angle but the clouds make this picture so much more dramatic.
Show threadjohsnyMar 7
Dramatic clouds are good for almost any photo, I think. Thanks!
