Well, im not a "car guy" myself. Im a cyclist, basically every lego sets in my collection has been hauled by my trusted e bike with cargo trailer. And when i started this moc building. All of the first batch sets were hauled by my e bike with cargo trailer, and yes, it only tooked 2 trips, because i did go to 2 different stores to pickup lego sets:). Here is newest lego haul, pictured from the cargo trailer:).

I agree:). And i have strong feelings, when a excavator nerd kid gets this as christmas present from family. The kid would be so upset and disappointed, how slow this is, and family leaves a negative and angry feedback. I think this set will hurt legos reputation. Because last 18+ big sets, like the cat were playable. But this is painfully slow, so when kid finds that out, I think, kid will move to non lego model rc excavator kits. and will not come back again for building legos. Because he thinks all lego technic stuff is painfully slow and not fun to play with:/.

In case you are curious, how much money i have poured into my lego hobby. Its in total about 3000-6000€. And im not a ultra rich person, im a lower income person so i save a lot. And now i buy used sets for cheap, so i save little bit money there. And since i enjoy building legos att all times, this is a small fee for me. And its nice when everyone can enjoy my mocs as much as me. And im funding my lego hobby totally by my self with my own money:).

Piece count, 1234:). Functions. Same suspension as the 42213. Openable doors, hood, sunroof and tailgate. RWD with V8. HOG steering. Some interesting details.
