Who in their right mind would take a vehicle like this out on the street?

Look at how much the rear suspension is compressed. A lot of clearance in the front wheelwells though.

Two years ago, we were hunting way back in the sticks on the boundary of a private ranch we have permission on. The way into this area via crown land is a looong drive.

This guy comes down the 'road' in a K car and an elk strapped to the trunk. He had a few kids in the car with him and he couldn't get back up the road due to the front tires not getting any traction. Was lost and was looking for a way to get back to real road. in a front wheel drive K car

So, you're saying people don't really need those big, lifted 4x4's?

Wondering how he got that much on the car judging by what snow there is in the pic around that area. Look at the yard in the background.

Yeah, I saw something similair the other day: A guy with approximately same amount of snow on his car roof was driving ahead of me - not minding the speed limit and danger of his roof cargo - he wanted to turn right and he didn't slow or anything. He just turned right and I saw how the right side of his car was in that moment good 30 centimetres off the ground. Apparently because the snow on a roof was frozen there pretty hard so in that speeed it uplifted the car!!!!

a new version of snow removal I suppose
