Trying to Understand

I don't really get it with the UTVs.  They mostly can't go anywhere your truck can't go, certainly not anywhere a jeep can't go, but they're no where near as comfortable or useful.  First of all they sound like a lawn mower.  Is that fun?  Buzzing around sitting on a lawn mower engine.  I mean, I understand the thrill of revving your big engine, but these aren't big engines, do people really get a thrill from revving around with a lawn mower engine?  Then there are the go-cart wheels and uncomfortable seats.  You feel the roughness of every pebble, and each big bump throws your shoulder against your neighbor.  But the worst of it has got to be the dust.  I understand that it is wonderful to be motoring around in the woods without any windows or doors, but if you aren't the lead dog you're going to be absolutely enveloped in dust.  I was out for a few minutes yesterday, and witnessed a big rally just a-lawn-mowering-it up Center Creek.  I made it out of the side-canyon and into the Chev before the worst of it, so I was able to watch from inside the truck with the windows up.  The second guy, and gal, and whoever else was in there, had to wear goggles and a mask.  By the seventh or eighth UTV, I could barely see the occupants, but from what I could tell, they were swathed from head to toe against the dust storm—hooded, masked, and goggled like Rommel's 15th Panzer Division.  In general I think these things can be had for less than $20,000, so I know you're not paying very much to eat dust on your lawn mower.  I guess I'm starting to talk myself into it.
