does it really matter? It’s good for 25 years plus. I doubt their construction created more pollution than the tanker trucks full of gasoline that an ICE car would consume over that period. Also, they run my A/C, dishwasher, etc. It’s all relative.

I doubt it. They are those low-rolling resistance type. They are super-hard (phrasing). I’ve got 28K (freedom units) on the set, and they still have a bunch more miles left.

“there is no such thing as Zero Emissions”

Obligatory:

Indeed. It’s all trade offs. I’m not a sporto. I just want to be able to explore fire-roads and the like. I don’t want to get stuck in the snow, either. Being comfy is much more important than not having to be careful to clean stuff off before bringing into the house.

I’ve been researching the heck out of RVs. Class A, B, C, Super C 5th wheel, truck camper, trailer, toads, etc.

Thanks for the heads-up. Even better! (with a high-roof, of course.)

I’ve been pondering the idea of getting a Winnebago Revel, or something similar, for my daily driver. Also good for exploring the country. It’s fully self-contained, 4X4, and diesel.

Even the Dear Leader made mistakes.

We practically the same thing with the Gama Goat. Except we put it in production. They constantly broke down.

I think Miguel’s build will have more horsepower/will be faster than this little guy built by Car and Driver magazine. Boy, it’s amazing what 30 years of technological progress has wrought.

The new Oldsmobiles are in early this year:

I’m loving all that glass.

If someone made a car with those massive, cushiony bumpers front and rear I would buy one for my bride in a second. On a small suv, like an escape. With a no-mar surface, so when she inevitably strikes a car or other stationary object yet again it causes no damage to either car or object.

Make a Jerrari!

Are two of standing in a very deep pothole in that picture?

What’s old is new again.

Use a cutting torch.

Secure that chin strap little Mr!
