$10K to climb a hill

Fire-medic · Oct 22, 2014

Hillclimbing attempts in cars are very entertaining! Disappointment and futility are the rules of the day. Full spaceframes appear to be necessary for survival. Looks like they should have side nets like NASCAR to keep from having an arm crushed after an inevitable rollover.

I had a bit of trouble w/this loading/playing, FYI. It finally did load.

Perhaps the only motorsport where you might expect to roll your vehicle?

I'll take one of those for use on the south Florida freeways, just use its abilities to climb when confronted w/some idiot driver trying to harm you.

My buddy has a friend whose 38" ht. wheel 4x4 elevated over the top of some little import that tried to cut in-front of him from the straight lane, when the 4x4 was turning left. They were next-to each other in traffic, waiting for the light to change, when it did they both left-turned. The import was left w/a crushed fender & hood bleeding coolant in the middle of the intersection & the owner waving for the 4x4 to come-back! Or was that a "you're #1" finger gesture?:rofl_200:The 4x4 guy had a scuffed sidewall on his tire.
