Older 2WD can go pretty far in sand. Key word here is “older”. That means without those useless traction control garbage. First thing when you hit sand is to turn off that traction control if your car has that button. If not, you are hopeless. All traction control does is to throttle down.

Not enough rust.

I think for once not even David Tracy is tempted by these...

That Viking I is excellent. It looks like a miniature Pacer.

The stupidest among us used to die at much earlier ages. Protecting morons from their own moronic impulses is a relatively recent concept.

For fuck’s sake, replace those brake lines. You’re replacing tie rod ends but not 30-year-old brake lines?

I am sure the brake lines “look” good, but why not spend the extra $50-$100 and replace them all? If you are flushing the brakes anyway you are already halfway done. The problem with brake lines is they can fail from the inside out so looking at them doesn’t really tell the full story.

Datsun B210 Honey Bee. That time a little bit of JDM weirdness crossed the ocean, although it joined a whole generation of cartoon-insect-bemascotted small cars that started after VW adopted the Beetle/Bug nickname as its’ own.

Does it make me a bad car guy that there’s nothing Dodge could do to a Challenger that would make me like it?

I hope he’s successful in cars, but these people talking about the Dyson hand dryers not being very good are totally right. Oh and another thing - You know when electric hand dryers aren’t real useful and paper towels are vastly superior? After you step in dog poop. Once you’ve stepped in poo the last thing you

Too bad electric cars have no use for a supercharger. It could suck and blow at the same time.

Their vacuums are already cheap plastic hunks of bad QA, I can’t see their car faring much better.

I feel like the old racing adage is true in electric car startups.

Dyson car? This’ll suck.

Not always a choice. I don’t have much sympathy for the suburban cowboys who buy the biggest truck they can barely afford and then commute with it, either. But sometimes it’s just what is available.

I, too, get annoyed by massive wheels with rubber bands on them ( yah: I’m old ), but this one looks to actually need them to clear the calipers. And with that much under the go-pedal, I ain’t arguing for less stoppage.
