Honda Foreman AWD: 20 years pulling a 4x6 welded trailer for firewood out of the woodlot. Rough tight trails. Some minor skidding, though it can't pull much for heavy, long trunks. No mechanicals in that time except for flats and the usual stupid rollovers pushing the Honda where it shoulddn't be.
I bought a 1993 Mustang Cobra without talking it over with my wife, who generally doesn't care what I buy. The problem was that I extended the payment on her truck that she wanted to get paid off. She was madder than a hornet. that was like 14 years ago. Her truck has now been paid off for years. I think she's over it!
