Absolutely. Vans are awesome. I've been a Sprinter owner since December, when I bought a 2008 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. It's still badged as a Dodge, but that should change soon. The engine and all of the parts say Mercedes-Benz, and I pay Mercedes-Benz part and repair prices, so why shouldn't I get to have the MBZ star

What was the vapor that was coming out of (going into?) the intake trumpets in those engine shots? Craziness.

Typical Tim.

"Can you crawl out of this window?"

"Uh...we'll see..."

Anyone else notice that when he got out of the car he just popped his helmet off without seeming to have to un-buckle a chin strap?

The hatch is just held on with a rubber bungee-cord type thing.

You can see it in this pic of the car from Laguna Seca earlier this season. Zoom in to 100%.

Quoting directly from a text message I got from Tim this afternoon when I asked if the car is repairable:

"Not too sure, it ain't pretty though..."

Don't worry, these kids will grow up to be solid contributing members of society.

Magadan! The Road of Booooones!

Antonov seems to have such interesting designs compared to the more traditional stuff we see from Boeing — for better or worse, I guess.

I just watched Race to Dakar last week and kept seeing the AN-72 and AN-74s in the background of the bivouacs. Funky looking!

They're catering to "high net worth" individuals, and that's the food photograph they're using?

Someone in marketing at Privajet needs to bone up on their photo selection skills.

Back when I was a Boy Scout ('97-'02) the Navy would allow a few troops a year to spend a week at San Clemente Island staying in some old cabins and doing outdoor stuff out there. We had a few Navy officers as dads/adult leaders in our troop, and our scoutmaster at the time was high up at SPAWAR, so we were able to

Spend about an hour browsing the "Ride Reports" section on ADVRider.com...there are more epic road trips (all on motorcycles, mind you) there than you can shake a stick at.

I don't know about the message of the ad, but my takeaway: That 2015 Hyundai Genesis is one damned good looking car.

And this is why I love my new Sprinter. BEST VEHICLE EVAR!1111

Good point. Thanks for pointing that out.

Thanks, Michael. I'll put up a gallery on my Kinja once I get through the rest of them!

Remember, also, that GRC just announced last week that Red Bull had signed on from 2014 as title sponsor for a multi-year deal. I think anything that Red Bull puts their money, weight, and interest behind is bound to turn into big things.

That said, I don't see WRC going anywhere soon...too much history. I think the

Cool to see the coverage — this was the second GRC event I shot this year and I'm really liking the show they put on. I didn't know you were there or I would have sought you out! The location was neat, too — seeing part of the strip in the background is pretty cool. Here's one of my favorite shots of the event, of the

Silly Porsche, thinks it's a Ferrari.
