Yes go unprepared in an unsure vehicle, chances greatly increase as to your overall frustration when you are way out in the wilderness and no chance of driving it home that night.

Nah, driving one of those, you can just nudge cars out of your way, and park wherever you bloody well please.

Samis are SFA. They are pretty cheap to buy & build. They aren't comfortable for trips, but are quite capable. My father-in-law has one. He lives in Rapid City, SD & runs it in the Black Hills quite a bit. Here's a photo of his & you can view more photos in the album this links to:
