This is a great idea. It makes me think of other stuff we could have:

Dad had a ‘72 128 2dr sedan for a while. There are a lot of traits here in this 127. Granted, the 128 was a good bit bigger.

My old Volvo 240 did this perfectly: light quick press was I believe a single time instead of the full on dial tone from mashing the horn button.

Future car you say... There is only one correct answer:

I learned that really quick.... There isn't really a manual for tree/stump pulling... It's a learned skill like trailer backing.

It’s all about torque and leverage.... At least to had concrete. I did leave a pretty good tire mark in the grass on the first tree.

I just realized our rental was a Sonic, not a CriE. Worlds of difference. It was loaded with leather and even with an Auto and A/C it kept up with Maui traffic.

Well they are real... Just not human size.

Saturn would have been fine, but the GM bean counters pushed cost savings through parts sharing so that an Ion was a crappier cobalt which was also the Pontiac G5 and Olds (wait Olds was already dead).

In all fairness, they did buy a Chevy... The Malibu. Then they vowed to never ever EVER but a Chevy again. Too bad because they are actually good now (or so I hear: the newest I drove was a 2013/13 Cruze with the world's tiniest rocker switch on the shifter as a joke of a manual shift mode but was otherwise thoroughly…

I’ll stick with 300 cubic inches of stump pulling power all in a single line. Granted, I cut of the top and just pulled the stump.

One of the better Speedline OEM designs (the 959 rims are great too).

With that much style, one aimply does not accelerate quickly; let the bystanders fully appreciate the beauty.

Thats not a blind spot....

I’m pretty sure Citroen DS owners are more than happy with their self-jacking cars.

I thought that was how everyone did it. Saves your back!

Wel the early 5-speed (or maybe it was just the Turbo) was a dog-leg, so it would be “slightly” harder to drive, but I'm sure it would be easy to adapt.

I haven't had cable/sat for a few years, so I wasn't sure. The recaps are updated regularly on the Dakkar site and are pretty good. Probably not as in-depth as some would like, but there are some team based documentaries out there from past years on YouTube as well.

The big trucks are the most intriguing class at Dakkar. They can get time adjustments for helping others, but some drivers simply don’t care and blast through everything in their way. Sometimes they can’t see, but other times they just pass by.
