This. I had an ‘89 Formula 350 (basically a T/A without the suspension or the ground effects). In Connecticut it wasn’t too bad, but anywhere else, it would be miserably hot, t-tops on or off.

Dear VW,

Yep, for some meetings, that’s the only solution. Very fitting ad placement.

One of the biggest things*

Well said.

The biggest things is getting someone on the scene to stabilize the patient. Just administering an I.v. drip can make the difference in life and death situations.

Congrats! Well played!

The WRX...born from tractors? Maybe not, but it’s interesting to see how some of the more revolutionary designs for automobiles can trace their roots to agriculture.

I chalk it up to the same instances where people have driven blindly into emergency vehicles that had the lights *and* sirens going - zoned out and being on autopilot. I honestly feel safer on the motorcycle than I do driving a vehicle some days - I may not get noticed, but I can be maneuverable.

Does it come with those awesome protective sneakers?

I would love to be in Cali, but I am stuck here on the east coast as you said. I still have high hopes that I’ll be able to head west once again...

Thank you for the tip! I’ll definitely try that out sometime.

Perfect for those times when you’re on the run to the dark side of the moon. If the police see you, you might have to run like hell to avoid them, but it may just be best to pull over, and pay up the money to avoid the dogs of war. One slip behind the wheel might leave you learning to fly just before you hit the wall;…

GREAT write up, and all good pointers. I generally make similar recommendations for new riders, and this article can provide good reinforcement for that advice.

It would be the BSOD, then a crash into the tree.

First, travel to Mars is being hyped up. Second, autonomous vehicles are gaining traction in the automotive industry.

LMAO!

The M1010 CUCV. It has a 6.2L diesel that will run damn near forever, put the right tires on it and it won’t get easily stuck (within reason) and the ambulance section has room for a cot, with plenty of storage for clothes if need be. Won’t get anywhere quick, but it’ll get you there through the rough stuff.

First thought that came to mind.

So it is! That was a lapse on my part. I’d fix it but can’t edit the comment. Kinja’d!
