You likely didn’t use the Bandit (much) because it’s got a tendency to roll over every time it encounters the slightest bit of hill. It’s the truck equivalent of a puppy, eagerly looking for belly rubs. And usually at the second to last corner to your destination…
I like it for it’s versatility, but it takes a fair bit of self control to drive it well without tipping it.
For scouts, I usually default to the Land Rover 90. But most gameplay time is spent in the TUZ Acteon or Bandit. And if it absolutely, positively needs to get there… Mastodon, obviously.
Snow runner is so awesome :D I’ve got hundreds of hours in it.
Though honestly, the loaf isn’t as useful or customisable as I’d like it to be.
Absolutely adore these. The UAZ-452. Nicknamed Buhanka, Russian for ‘loaf of bread’ since it exactly looks like one. This version was introduced in 1965, but there’s a predecessor dating back to 1958.
They actually do still make modern versions of these, complete with upgrades like a better, cleaner engine, ABS brakes and seatbelts. It’s the oldest still in production vehicle.
There’s a reason we have the term ‘horse money’, let’s put it like that.
You take a chihuahua to the vet, it’s going to cost you a couple hundred bucks. But a horse isn’t a chihuahua. The bills scale exponentially. Then there’s the stabling costs, transportation, farrier, tack, etc. Etc. Buying a horse is the dumbest thing you can do except for buying a boat.
Basically, all in, figure on something between 8k and 10k per year. Assuming good health, you can ride a horse daily, but they’re not exactly convenient for your grocery shopping. Though I have done a drive through on one :D
