So there I was today I finally got to go out for a ride on my sled I'm buzzing along enjoying the sunshine when I round a corner and there on the side of the trail is a Subaru forester stuck. The trail I was on is a logging road so it is pretty wide ( about 2.5 car widths) and it was pretty much hardpack today so she was doing allright on the trail but after driving down it for 3 miles she must of realized something was wrong, possibly when she saw one after the other snowmobile coming up behind her and around her and no other cars on the trail, so she turned around in the soft powder and sunk! Now for her to get on this trail she had to drive thru the trailhead which was full of trucks with snowmobile trailers and then past a very large sign which says ROAD CLOSED FOR WINTER OPEN ONLY FOR SNOWMOBILES. When I went by the staties were there and they said they were gonna call a tow truck.

Well, it was a Forester... Maybe she figured she could drive through a forest.

Hehe. We had a Dodge Raider... The American counterpart, I believe.

The damn thing wouldn't break! We'd jump it (about 3ft of air) at the golf course, rolled it a few times (then turned it right side up with a tractor), but the damn thing just kept running!

It was supposed to be one of our project cars (buy for cheap, repair for cheap, then sell for decent money), but decided to trash it instead.


It had a tilt-o-meter! It's what gave us the idea of rolling it. We first tried to see how sideways we could get on the tilt-o-meter before it fell on its side. After it fell over, we tried flipping it back over but flipped it too much, onto its other side!

So were just like, " it," and decided to demolish it instead.

Sounds like too much fun, Alex.

Hmm.... I think you might be thinking of the Sidekick's predecessor, the Samurai, maybe, Alex??? Suzuki got a bad name for this vehicle, though I think it was stupid drivers that brought it on!

As far as I know, the Sidekick was only marketed as a Geo Tracker (now Chevy Tracker, I think).
