As a couple of commenters have pointed out, these are more for overlanding, where you drive on a trail, stop for the night, then continue driving on to your next stop the next night, and so on.

By “enthusiast” you probably mean “wannabe.” Real enthusiasts usually drive Land Cruisers over Rovers.

Dear American Left, this isn’t the hill you should die on.

The market for these started mostly with the overlanding crowd where you’d end up packing it up at in the morning in preparation for a long days drive. This is still likely the best use for these, especially if you’re not sure about fully modifying a vehicle for overlanding use—not everyone has the ability, or the…

These tend to be popular with the overlanding crowd as they’re an easy way to add sleeping capacity to a beginner overland vehicle if you aren’t ready to fully modify your vehicle.

Why would they fire them. In fact, in most automakers outside of the US, it’s considered fine for employees to look at or even buy stuff from competitors. This way they aren’t only looking at what the company’s making, but also what everyone else is so they have an idea of what new trends may be or how they may need…

Because Ferrari’s specialty is snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Carlos won here because he decided to ignore team strategy.

Frightening crash for Zhou, though it shows that the Halo does its job and is a welcome addition to the sport. That said, the FIA needs to look into Alfa’s roll “hoop” (in quotes because they’re running a unique, vertical column design). That failed almost immediately when Zhou flipped.

Letting models linger for too long seems to be Nissan’s problem. I get many of the cost-cutting measures it implemented once Ghosn went on board worked, but that particular strategy seems to have backfired, especially in the face of competitors who have been updating their lineups and introducing new models.

Those videos (alongside their older ones on MotorTrend and ISSIMI) are the reason I wish they were in Top Gear America.

As it turned out, the true story was even wilder

Sadly, Keke got his WDC in part due to tragic circumstances. Originally, it was Didier Pironi who was leading the championship following Gilles Villeneuve’s tragic accident, before he had his own at Hockenhaim which caused him to retire. During the latter, Didier was 12 points clear of Keke (who was behind John…

You have to remember that this was still the era where DNFing was considered to be normal and it was expected that drivers wouldn’t finish one or two races in a year. This is where that rule came from. It was only once cars started to become more reliable that it was dropped.

Lauda didn’t take poles since he correctly identified that Prost was a stronger qualifier than him that year, so instead he concentrated on race setup.

Apparently, former WDCs all get free access to the paddock. Now, there’s talk of rescinding this for Piquet.

Hamilton is better loved in Brazil than Piquet is, which is probably why he’s lashing out.

Remember when anything “Grand” in Chrysler’s lineup just meant a larger or stretched version of the vehicle in question?

This, as good as a show like Trapped can be, it can’t help but feel too familiar and get passed over as yet another isekai.
