That thing will get stuck in 4 inches of snow.


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Well Mark, for once I have nothing to say.
Other than did that outfit come with a lawn mower attachment?

Trouble with trapping out of those kinda outfits is.....fleas! I used the old subarus back in the seventys for a number of years. Dang things would go anywhere you pointed it, but cooped up with a bunch of fresh dead fox or yotes was where I drew the line! Especially the fox, whole thing was crawling after a week of good catchin!

Its always good when you start to pile critters up in the back and the bottom one just happens to pee. Bobcats, toms seem the worse. Lee the fleas always move off me to my wife when I get home, so I have that going for me. Boco, I figure with the global warming I will be wearing shorts in that thing this winter. Zim the speedometer goes to 160 mph. So it has enough power to mow the lawn. I ran 250 miles and it took 6.6 gallons to fill her back up. I was shocked how well it handles for its size.

Would not work in my neck of the woods even in August the only think good on that is the gas mileage and Im thinking any repairs would be very pricey It might work for picking up road kill on the highway. I understand you wanting to cut cost but think you would be very disappointed.

I got it for a summer car. I live 30 miles from town and we run down to the daughters often which is 130 miles one way. That 15 mpg gets old fast when I don't need it. It should be good to run to conventions in.

That green one will out run full size PU's at a light and I don't even have to get on it. They think they have an chance until I get in second gear.

I always liked those. Lady I trapped on got a blue and white one, different style than yours. Said she always wanted one and finally could. She was proud as a peacock. Cool little cars.

Just get yourself some trash bags and some heavy duty insecticide for your carcasses. You should be good to go.

I spent three years in Spain when I was a teen, and I am sure that is where my like for them comes from. It is fun to drive.

You'll have to wear a tux and patent leather shoes out on your line - please... at least make it a camo tux...

Love the skunk stripes on the hood! Does it have a trailer hitch so you can tow one off those pickup truck beds made into a trailer for your gear?
Hey Lee, I used an International Scout, had the same problem. By the time I got home all my catch were certified flea and tick free--- they were all on me! Eric

Do you mean Brooks hill, before you hit the flat headed to Berthold? I bet it will gain speed, in 6th gear hitting the bottom at 60-70 mph.

I like it. I use a beater 2004 Hyundai Accent for the same reason....cheap to drive. I carry a good lug all in the back in case I get stuck. Only had to use it once. Ground clearance is my main concern with the Accent.

At several properties I trap, I have a quad waiting for running my line.
