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

      Dramatic clouds are good for almost any photo, I think. Thanks!

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

      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…?

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

        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.

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

          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

            I have no idea what they cost. They used to sell the Jimny here in the US, in the 1980’s and 1990’s. They called them “Samurai” when they sold them here.

            I have a Suzuki Samurai.

              Oh I remember them as samurais! I have a coworker who had one for a long time, and was stolen a couple years ago from his buddy’s yard who was working on it

              It was adorable. Yeah, thanks for that detail! Those were really cool

    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.

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

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

        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.
