Before I knew any better, I purchased a Honda CRV "4WD" thinking it was good enough to use as a fishing rig. Um, yeah, I realize now what a dumbass I was for making that purchase.
Long story short, I was outside of Keno, Oregon (find that on a map) on an old logging road in six inches of frozen snow/ice. After bottoming out the POS about eight times, my friend Steve says to me, "Uh, I don't think we should go any farther." The thing had zero manueverability, so I had to back the thing in reverse for two miles through that stuff. My friend Steve looked like he was picturing us on the six o'clock news. If it wasn't a MT and I wasn't a pretty decent driver, that thing would still be there.
Two weeks later I traded the CRV in. I feel sorry for the poor sap who buys that thing, I have no idea how much damage we did to the transfer case when bottoming out.
