You captured the equipment at a great angle but the clouds make this picture so much more dramatic.

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

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...?

Just tuck bro, you'll be aight

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

[–] waxy@lemmy.ca 1 points 12 hours ago

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

That has to be faked, right? The casually displayed beer at the end is just too much of a giveaway.

[–] whyNotSquirrel@sh.itjust.works 3 points 18 hours ago

the guy with the beer is the passenger clearly

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? That seems pretty on-point to me.

Reminds me of this:

This looks like one of those enemies in armored core 6 that just comes out of rubble and rail gun's my ass to the next continent ; which is my way of saying "saving picture to design a sick mecha based on it"

Is that a jimny you're driving?

I wish we could get those in the US. We are sorely lacking in awesome little 4x4's.

[–] tpyo@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

That is a really awesome vehicle!

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

https://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?

Edit: I meant new cost. I looked up used ones and it's about 10k ± 3k for ones from '97

[–] skaffi@infosec.pub 3 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] johsny@lemmy.world 3 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

Not exactly sure what it does, but it is built like that to drive along rows of corn without damaging the plants.

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 4 points 16 hours ago

It's a high-clearance sprayer, probably a 4940. We have one for grain cropping.

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 1 points 18 hours ago

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.

I'm jealous, is that a Jimny?

[–] johsny@lemmy.world 2 points 17 hours ago (1 children)
[–] Tempus_Fugit@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

I want one so bad...

[–] Phoenix3875@lemmy.world 1 points 20 hours ago

When someone really upped their Lego game.

[–] brap@lemmy.world 1 points 23 hours ago

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

[–] thisbenzingring@lemmy.today 0 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

you should get your windshield fixed 😋

[–] johsny@lemmy.world 2 points 19 hours ago

I know, right?
