Many of us, when visiting Greece (and not only), seeing a speeding buggy on the road, think - "Cool thing. I should try to rent it. "

Almost always, such thoughts and impulses end in nothing. It's for the best. The fact is that the buggy is a very specific car. Yes, she looks brutal. Yes, she gets attention. Yes, it can go where a regular car can't. But that's where the merits end. In principle, a buggy is a mixture of an ATV and a car. And this mixture has absorbed mainly the disadvantages of these vehicles. Square austere comfort, but at the same time, problems with parking, high fuel consumption and strictly two-seater movement.

With cross-country ability, too, everything is not so simple. At first glance, the buggy is a rogue no worse than amorphous rear-wheel drive rental quads. And there is. But if you plant a quad, then pulling it out is easy. It weighs 100 - 150 kg. But to dig out a buggy, with a weight of 700 - 900 kg. You won't wish it on your enemy.


In the photo, I planted it slightly, but dug it out for about 2 hours. Well, beach machos helped when I was exhausted.

For comfort, only the seats. Nothing else. There is no windshield. There is no condor. Suspension is super hard. Transmissions are stuck with a clang. There is no power steering.

Don't think that I scold them because I didn't like it. Liked and still like it. But I'm a fan of all technology. I love the smell of gasoline and rubber. And for a person who is not keen on this, it is enough to approach the rental company and ask to take a picture while driving this rider. This is quite enough. And savings. Rent a day costs about 100 E.

But the buggy has one advantage. Young, inexperienced virgins peck at them.

Maybe the brutality, uncompromisingness and muscularity of the buggy in their eyes are transferred to the driver.

But even here everything is not easy. Firstly, hugging a girl, you are guaranteed to get a severe burn on the radiator, which is behind the seats uncovered.

But that's your problem. If you do not squeak, then the virgin may not notice anything. She is also waiting for a romantic trip to the miracle of pepelace with stunning muscle.

Well, yes. Everything is fine for the first 15 minutes. Then she realizes that her teeth are chattering on the bumps. Understands that the muzzle of the face is covered with a crust of dust and dirt. He understands that combing his hair will be almost impossible.

Here is a photo of my hair after an hour trip. Hair cemented tightly.

And the maiden starts to get nervous and annoyed after 30 minutes. And think - "Why did I get involved with this psycho? It would be better if I stayed on the beach. "

So, when dreaming about renting a buggy, think ten times. But if you decide, you will never forget these rides.
