My neighbor bought a boat. My another neighbor bought a camper. My other neighbor bought a motorcycle. None of those interest me more than this puppy. I've been working a lot over the last year so why not treat myself. Right? Besides the kitchen is done and I need to do something else. Never sit still.

    Yeah I'm pretty sure you can find a way to have fun with that.
    I raise my kids, cook and golf.  When work gets in the way I'm pissed, I'm pissed off 48 weeks a year.

    Golf is an expensive hobby for sure, but at least you got a pretty cool looking golf cart.

    I have been looking at 4 seater UTVs but nothing that fast. You will have a blast with that thing.

    Right on @greg345! That's one of my favorite things to get outdoors and do too. Good times are ahead. Just keep the rubber side down.

    Grizzly!! Very nice. I've had atv or dirt bike most of my life. I sold my last one 3 years ago and have been missing it since. This is by far the nicest thing I've ever give myself. Sure it goes fast but it's sooooooooo comfortable.

    That's way cool. My kids are happy tooling around on the FIL's Mule in low. We'd be dangerous in that thing.

    Nice!!!! I was looking and pondering for a few times over the last few years. Never pulled the trigger. If and when I ever get some spending money though I think I might upgrade the boat or camper. Really still want a side by side still though. Would come in handy out here. Nice buy! Have fun!

    Very cool. Before we had our daughter we had four wheelers. We lived in the swamps of South Carolina low country. It was awesome. Big knobby tires, snorkels, the whole bit. We had a ball. I could definitely do a rzr now....

    Nice ride!
    If you don't have a winch, get one before you go in the mud. If you get that stuck, you WILL need a winch to get it out. SxS's are heavy. I'll stick with my Grizzly for now.

    It's simply a vehicle that will get you stuck deeper in the woods than a 2 wheel drive! :o

    Probably should've waited until next month as Yamaha is supposedly coming out with a new SxS. Rumors are 3 cyl with 100+ hp and paddle shifters. =)

    Thinking about it.  However when we were growing up my Mom, an ER Nurse in Los Angeles, would always tell us stories about riders coming into the ER.  Some pretty gory stuff.  Scared us from getting bikes while we were younger and still influences us today.

    We'll see . . .

    That would be interesting. That is some pretty good HP in a stock SxS. But have you seen the ones where guys take a Yamaha SxS and drop a salvaged R1 engine into it? That's 186 hp with the ram air. Some do Hayabusa engines, there's all kinds of crazy stuff out there.

    I'm happy with my little Grizzly ATV. Gets me to where I need to go and back.
    A friend's dad used to say, "4x4 just gets you stuck farther from the road."
    And DEFINITELY put a winch on it and carry the right recovery gear to help you get out, or help get others out.

    I was going to say a 3500# winch at a minimum for that beast.
    Don't worry about the first scratch, you'll get more. Run it like you stole it!
