I needed to look up what a road gator is and I have never seen one. In pre-1989 communist Czechoslovakia, people would need to do all kinds of repairs themselves and every car owner knew their machine inside out. To this day, knowledge of basic technology & maintenance (difference between the four-stroke diesel / spark-ignition engine, dashboard indicators, replacement of all fluids and brake pads, function of the battery, service intervals) is a required part of getting a driver's license.

I see these almost daily and it's usually from commercial vehicles having a blowout on their trucks or trailers.
