It's only so-so sad. It's sad someone thought they could get away with such preposterousness. But the made-up story is hilarious. So, I appreciate the laugh.

Best of luck!

Sure does. There are other factors, including my desire to poke at Xue Sheng.
The biggest is the tires. They're a street legal race tire. Which means awesome traction. But when it's cold, the rubber stays rock hard. Which means crappy traction.
Below freezing, I don't start it at all. The blower is built to super tight tolerances, and the cold can cause the housing to contract enough to contact the impeller. Which is bad, as it turns the blower into a $5000 boat anchor. And if the broken pieces of impeller enter the engine, I can put a piece of glass over the top and use it as a coffee table...
I will actually drive it when the weather is in the 40F range. It's like driving a normal car on wet roads, so a little caution is required. But I couldn't pass up the Xue poke.
Well...then you know what you should have...a Corvette that is not such a pansy.... something more this Vette
Maybe then it could handle a little cold weather

Whats the odds the person that drives that has a mullet?
Being from the Southeastern US, I'm just going to say I wouldn't bet the price of a latte on those odds.
50 shades of ridiculous...

Hummers IMO are overrated, however the Unimog...that is a different story...but it can't float.

I had to delete that picture. I'm pretty sure it violates the TOS rules on basic decency.
Just at a guess, I'd say somewhere between 98 and 100%.
I am sure there is a modification for that...or put beach floats on as tires....

Well, now where was that when I was growing up? My dad had a Zaporozhets. I can't remember who said that, but in a documentary about Soviet automotive industry, someone said, "Zaporozhets was the kind of car you could tell was made in the Soviet Union just by looking at it."

Yup. We couldn't afford one.My dad was actually - very briefly - considering to get a Lada....the Niva was one of the first 'SUVs'
Sort of....

Yup, the original idea from Zaporozhets was stolen from VW bug. And then they "improved it". I'd actually worked at Kommunar - the factory that manufactured these - for two months. It was a college requirement at the university I went to back in Ukraine. I could tell you STORIES.Looks a lot like his German cousin...East German cousin....
