      Nah, but they don't need to. See a bunch of them down here. the farmers love them. Lot cheaper than a big UTV and a lot more versatile.

        @Mik you realize they are used, right? 20-30 years old, meticulously maintained and ridiculously cheap due to the Japanese cultural bias against purchasing used vehicles…
