That thread only mentions the accident, not the results of the evaluation by Speed once it was dropped off. That's the first place I looked for Dave's report. Thanks, though!

If you're trying to increase traffic on your off-road site, why wouldn't you post about your off-road ride on your off-road site?

As solid of a point as this is...

That thread over there has 11 THOUSAND posts and counting.

It's actually the 3rd version of that thread! The first 2 were ruined by an old member that just wanted to argue with everyone, and has since been banned. This story sound familiar? 🤣

Anyhow...

Dave lives in Havasu. Speed is in Havasu. Most of Dave's close friends live in Havasu.

This is a Glamis/sand forum, yeah?

Also might have something to do with being bummed his car is totaled and not wanting to talk a whole lot about that, after saying how well it survived the crash!

Just My 2 cents 😎

It is. It's also where the crash took place.

Results from a crash in Glamis should be posted on a Glamis forum... the same forum that the initial crash/damage was already posted on.

What you're saying is since he lives in Havasu, he shouldn't follow up on a thread he posted on here, but his Boat related site should see the results of the crash... that was in Glamis... not in the water? 🤣

Just my two cents. And since pennies don't exist anymore, that's about all My opinion is worth! 😁

It's likely due to the feedback he gets here vs. over there.

We are a little tougher on manufacturers over here... we seem to take it more personal when one of our Members gets screwed by someone's Napkin Engineering executed by Communists.

Oh don't worry...

There isn't a whole of love for Speed over there either!!! :ROFLMAO:

But, there does seem to be a whole lot more Speed owners over there vs. here.

Me personally? I don't think ANY SxS belongs in the sand!

Again, just my (worthless) 2 cents. :cool:

I disagree (not that it matters). 🤣

Back in... like... 2011 or so, Greengo rented a 2 seat RZR 800 for a few hours and that was my intro to the modern SXS's. We had so much fun in that bitch, we couldn't stop laughing the entire time we were in it.

That led me to buy my 2012 RZR XP4 900 which was actually a blast to drive in the dunes. Paddles, harnesses... that was the extent of my investment. It went anywhere I wanted it to go at a speed that was either "just safe enough" or borderline on "I could get hurt really bad if something goes wrong in this thing", but nothing did.

Are they Sand Car fun? I don't think so at all. But... they do belong in the sand. It's the shitty attitude that comes with those owners less invested in their "education" that is the problem with them... and what doesn't belong in the sand.

Well just for the sake of discussion (and where my opinion comes from)...

When Sampler got his, he took me out and we rode around for awhile.

At one point in the ride, he looks at me and says...

"river, this thing Sucks!!!"

I cracked up and said...

Well I'm glad You said that and not me! 🤣

We went back to camp, Rick Wade shows up and takes it out for a spin. He came back shortly, right after he rolled it. He felt So fucking bad!!!

But Rob was like...

Don't worry about it. Fuck that thing. And he sold it shortly after that. 😝

The power to weight ratio is all wrong for the sand. 👎👎

On the hardpack, they really are fun as fuck. 👍🏼👍🏼
