I actually kind of like Geo Trackers. I can do without the early-1990s color palette and the engines can best be described as “adequate” but they are light and tiny 4x4s that can do a lot more than initially given credit for, and with some proper upgrades can make for a killer trail rig. However most Geos were treated like rented mules and left to die, and this yellow example is no different. Filmed somewhere in Kentucky, from the start to the end this film is a narrative on bad decisions. First you have a near-dead Tracker and a dirt jump. Then you have the advice offered by someone: “Go ahead, hit second gear and hold it to the floor.” Still think everything’s going to be ok? The Tracket doesn’t get much air, but that’s the least of the driver’s problems. Click play below and check out the landing. After watching this clip, I need to go see a chiropractor.
A word of advice: when you hear the other guys in the video start to say, “Uh-oh…” you know that it’ll hurt.
You o.k.?????
mmmmmmmmm !! mmmmmmmmm !!!! mmmmmmmm !!!
Well that frame is bent.
…….and that’s how Cleadus lost all of his teeth.
I think my 96 Geo Tracker was the most useful pocketknife of a vehicle I’ve ever owned. It served as a truck, tractor, dogcar, and sport car. It was chronically under powered, so you could drive it at 9/10ths and nobody would know. We used it to put boats in and out of the water (thanks lo-range). Knock off the top and doors, and it was a mobile good time. With the back window down, it would swallow a 24″ snow blower. It went 260,000+ miles before the rust took out most of the grounds and it just became too unreliable. I sold the carcass on eBay for the princely sum of $305.00. It was a sad day watching it leave.
Lost a few more teeth on that one.
