The preferred vehicles down here are ATV’s and UTV’s and they are everywhere.

ATV’s are the four wheelers that replaced the three wheels from back in the day.  Inexpensive and very popular but are single seaters designed for, wait for it, a single rider.  The manufacturers are the well known companies the likes of Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Polaris and Arctic Cat.

This family didn’t get the single rider memo:

UTV’s, on the other hand, are larger and designed to carry two or four people.  They are produced by the same manufacturers, are street legal and come at a higher cost.

Here’s an example that belongs to my neighbor complete with an immobilizer and a layer of Baja dust:

Our colleagues are planning to rent a UTV to go exploring.  You think there’s any chance I can talk Carol into it?  Didn’t think so.
