This is so true (most fun I had in months), we had a snow problem (for some people) in southern Finland about 2 weeks ago, me and some of my collaegues used most of our work day just helping people out of our carpark and it was the best bonding experience for a long time. We had fun, we got the joy of helping others, we got to know each other better, we actually felt like we did something that day.. fucking office work :D

I bought a 2002 Vitara for £650 4 years ago as a winter car as I live in the middle of nowhere and a 4x4 is handy. I changed the radiator which was cheap and easy to do myself, changed the oil and put some mud tyres on it and it's been indestructible. Probably the best value car I've ever had. Goes anywhere with the mud tyres and as mentioned in this video I don't care if it gets scratched or dinged, I don't lock it or worry about it. It starts and goes every time, even when I don't use it for weeks, stress free motoring, I love it.

Alex just sending it into that bog hole reminds me of the time my friend bought a Suzuki sidekick. Doors were ratchet strapped closed, and whoever did that also tied the seat belts to the b pillars. After jumping it once or twice we snapped the unibody right at the bottom of the windshield so the whole thing flopped around while driving it. It was mid January (eastern Ontario) so it was about -20c easy. Patrick, who was driving spotted a big pond formed from melted snow that had re frozen. Without ever checking what it was like he pinned it and we hit the hole doing about 60km, (with no seatbelts). Boy do I wish we checked it out because while the ice around the edge was maybe a inch thick, it got thicker towards the middle. (About 1ft thick) and it stopped the poor sidekick in its tracks. I was in the passenger seat, Patrick was driving. We both hit the windshield face first while our friend in the back got lucky and bounced off our seats. The car immediately started filling with water as it was well above the doors, and all sorts of gross shit started floating around, used condoms, chewed gum and dead mice. We climbed up out the sunroof and jumped to dry land. Lesson learned, check the fucking ice.

I think he might have been in 4WD at 9:13 you can see the splash from the passenger side front wheel. The drivers side one might not have been because it doesn't have a locked front diff. It looks like the rear axle does the same when he tried doing doughnuts at 3:15. Although that might have been because he was pulling the handbrake(?) although it does look like the drivers side was spinning while the passengers wasn't.

I bought my 2nd running car, A 2000 Impreza 2.2L 4 speed auto for $50. Sold my Protege5 for $500, put a timing belt kit on the EJ22. Then it ran great. I had this car for about one and a half years until my dad bought it off me for $1500. I beat the absolute piss out of that car for 1.5 years straight and it never skipped a beat. Granted since I and my dad owned it we fixed some visible rust, repainted it, replaced the coil overs and brakes, last but not least made a custom exhaust. Now that car is still my dad's daily and it is so very close to hitting 500,000 kilometers, and because of this I really want to buy another cheap GC8 Impreza to beat on.

I borrowed a 2000 Gran Vitara regularly from a family member a few years ago to get to uni. The short wheelbase offset the long steering ratio for me (or maybe that's one of the ~0.5 things they changed over the years), but even that one in good shape was wobbly at or above 100kph. It was happiest when there was no pavement in sight. Even a mint one is still a death trap with roughly 1.7 stars from the IIHS.

Bought one of these at 17 for $700 as my first car. In the US, it's called the Sidekick, and mine was literally a barn find, with only 5,000 original miles. So many memories. In deep water, they're trash as you discovered. But they'll go pretty much everywhere else. I had mine for 7 years, eventually sold it for parts after a double T bone accident left the frame bent, damn I miss that thing.

Think before you use a keyboard cos you wouldn't say that face-to-face before others as they would embarrass you. Thank you for wishing me a lovely day as I finished a project on my house before it started raining so I'm rather pleased.

fellow offroader here. i suggest drilling a hole in the lowest part of your floor board and putting a rubber plug in it. when you decide to go through a lake pull that plug and it will drain after you get out/ but if you sit in the lake it will fill quicker jsut a downfall of doing this
