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

[–] johsny@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

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

In my Miata I'm always tempted to go right under these

[–] johsny@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

We’re in a Jimny and we were sure we could fit too!

[–] waxy@lemmy.ca 1 points 17 hours ago

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...?

Just tuck bro, you'll be aight

...i won't say how i know, but i can personally vouch that a lotus elise is lower than the ground clearance beneath an HEB semi-trailer...

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.

the guy with the beer is the passenger clearly

This looks like one of those enemies in armored core 6 that just comes out of rubble and rail gun's my ass to the next continent ; which is my way of saying "saving picture to design a sick mecha based on it"

[–] skaffi@infosec.pub 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] johsny@lemmy.world 4 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

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

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 8 points 21 hours ago

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

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 3 points 22 hours ago

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.

[–] PrimeMinisterKeyes@leminal.space 4 points 23 hours ago

Reminds me of this:

[–] CADmonkey@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Is that a jimny you're driving?

[–] johsny@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] CADmonkey@lemmy.world 4 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] tpyo@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

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'm jealous, is that a Jimny?

[–] johsny@lemmy.world 2 points 22 hours ago (1 children)
[–] Tempus_Fugit@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago

I want one so bad...

[–] thisbenzingring@lemmy.today 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

you should get your windshield fixed 😋

[–] johsny@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I know, right?

[–] brap@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

There’s a lot of gnarly ruts on trails around me, I can only dream of such ground clearance!

[–] Phoenix3875@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

When someone really upped their Lego game.
