I’ve encountered multiple streets in Seattle and other parts of the Puget Sound that I could not traverse with a 1985 Toyota 4WD Pick-up.
And that’s the Gold Standard.
When I was still the golden boy the people I work for gave me a Ford Escape as a company car. That thing could go anywhere. I swear that it could probably climb the side of a building.
Naturally they gave it to me because they expected me to stay working, no matter what kind of weather I encountered. Then, after three years having it as a tool they took it away... naturally they still expected me to respond to emergencies no matter what.
I didn’t mind when it was their gear but I’d rather not risk losing my equipment so I turned them down. I’m not the golden boy any more.
