Well, they can be, but the one I bought yesterday isn’t.

but 911’s aren’t! :-D

I think this feeling of detachment from what automakers are currently putting out that is making “us” car people into curmudgeons who continually buy older cars.

Commence plan brown. Commence plan brown.

Prada Sunglasses in my BRZ. I don’t know if they were fake or real, but I get made fun of a lot when I forget my normal sunglasses and wear them, so that’s nice.

Full face, boots, Helmet, Gloves, long sleeves are the minimum on the slow old BMW Toaster tank.

This is why people have no retirement savings. :-)

I love my BRZ. It’s the perfect Yin to the Yang that is my Old, Big, Slow, Awesome Landcruiser.

Choosing good lines and airing down go a LONG way. I’d say go for it, but just have a good plug kit and a strap. (and a phone to phone a friend)

I have to go with the bug. Every desert racing car is based in some way on a VW. It’s wild to think that even in class 1, the cars still show some resemblance in the rear linkage/engine placement, aluminum skid/pan to the venerable old VW’s.

OH MY!! I’m going to sell my 88 G50 3.2 Carrera Porsche for $15,000!! (said someone somewhere, I just need to find them, damnit)

At least they changed the BMW design the Ural is based on a bit.

Ha! nice

Yah, I’m sure over time more options will appear, but airing down a tire that starts with only and inch or two of sidewall is... “interesting” to say the least. Haha.

Yah, but we can only blame ourselves. Not, “us” specifically, but ourselves meaning the consumer’s of 4x4’s. Apparently we want to buy rugged SUV’s on 20” wheels with quiet efficient street tires. They can’t keep them in stock at the dealers. :-(
Which is why the average age 4x4 the instructors drive is about 25 years…

I know what you mean. My KO’s have a lot of life left on them and I am trying to will them to wear out with my mind!! Haha.
The weakest part of every off road vehicle is the squishy bit between the seat and the steering wheel. I get that manufacturers are trying to fix that, but I agree with you, nothing works better…

Yah, I’ve killed most brands sidewalls, but always by putting it into something sharp. Haven’t had a sidewall fail on any tire in man years now. Like I said, talking about it is as productive as arguing about oil brands.

I think they are a good tire too. In my opinion, if you’re getting flats very often on any modern offroad tire, it’s the driver, not the tire. People like to go OCD on the “perfect” tire. It’s a lot like motor oil conversations. Haha.

8 or 10 pinz’s there as well.

Waaaa? There were a couple dozen unimogs there. In the feature vehicle area and plenty in the camping area.
