I hate driving in bad weather, no matter what car I'm in. Even my brother's old Datto 720 ute, would step out in the rain. Wet roads are unpredictable. Feel sorry for the poor fella though. |

I could do that in a Accent, Sirion or Barina. Who makes the car has nothing to do with how it is driven. |

Curious to see what the other side of the ute looks like. Wonder what that skirt looks like after the back wheels dropped off the rise.
