The beetle looks familiar:

FWIW, the Euro/Dakar racers call it fesh fesh.

I volunteer to help international students at a local university and I always like taking them to see Lake Michigan. Some are not too interested, but often I get the rhetorical question, "this isn't the sea?" I think most Americans have a decent understanding of the Great Lakes, but for people from other parts of the…

I do think the transverse engine/trans layout does restrict maximum towing ability somewhat.

I was surprised that these were actually taken out from a sealed(partially at least) gear box. Is there any other more readily available swap options?

At first glance I assumed the S10 was built by some Cali douchebro. Then I watched the video and realized they were at Silver Lake dunes - in Michigan. I don’t live in Michigan, but I am embarrassed enough living in a state that borders it.

Will in break the tires loose from say a 25mph roll?

That is another thing the ad left out - exclusive 4 speed reverse. Don’t see that every day.

I found another older add for this car at a different dealer for $18,500. It has engine photos.

I’m a big fan of paper based GPS.

So I read through the whole article, got to the end and then said to myself, "where is the part about the secret Dodge Ram hellcat!?!??"

I like the concept and the results, but I am leary about having moveable parts between the piston and the crank.

I laughed.

I guess we will have to wait for the sequel to find out.

If he is like everyone else at Sturgis, then he was probably hammered.
