Yes, that's true. A stock Hilux is definitely meant to be kitted out to run the Rubicon with ultra long travel swing arms, springs and shocks. Good comparison. My 1993 Ford Escort wagon lifted a wheel on these types of ramps too, piece of shit car that high centers on even the smallest curb. Couldn't touch anything on the Big Sluice. (Could the point have been that the vehicle is stable on 3 legs and with 4wd able to keep moving with one wheel providing zero traction?? For a stock pickup, not bad)

Ok, snow leopard-print steering wheel cover on a mid-90s Ford Escort removes all credibility. LOCK EM UP.

Kinda cool I guess. Would have been MUCH better if it was a real production vehicle. Say a 92 ford escort

My first car was a 1993 Saturn SL1, which I loved dearly...right up 'till I totaled it in a snowstorm.

Then I moved on up *cough* to a 1989 Ford Escort Wagon. No air conditioning, no power anything, and a wonderful AM/FM radio. Went well with the ramen noodles I was subsisting on at the time, too.

Eventually I managed to talk my dad into letting me have his 1991 Integra in 1998, rather than trade it in for the peanuts they were offering him at dealerships. I only just got rid of that car last year. It was quite the warhorse -- sold it with 180,000 miles, and though it did have quite a few serious repairs around 120,000 miles, it was still running fine.

My first car was a 1993 Mitsubishi Galant S. Great car got amazing gas mileage. Went as far as I could with it but eventually at 287,000 miles the repairs it needed to keep it going outweighed the cost of a new car.

The second car I still own. a 1998 Subaru Impreza Outback Sport. It's run like a beauty since the day I got it. The all wheel drive saved myself from accidents several times. Doesn't get as good mileage as my first car but the low maintaince cost and safety make up for it.

Third car we are currently trying to sell is a 1997 Ford Escort ES. Amazing thing about this car is it's 'new car' smell hasn't faded, it's in great shape, low miles, but hard to keep up with the repairs and doesn't handle ice very well. After our son was born we haven't used it so it's just an extra insurance liability we don't need.

Good thing his parents bought him a nice new Firebird instead of a used Ford Escort.

pour a shitpot fulla bleach on the ground before ya do it like these fool prolly did, and you can do it with yer ford escort, (one of the shittiest cars ever produced)if you have one please, do not be offebnede
