The US customs officers may not have a sense of humor, but the owner of the Renault sure does. "Vantime" awesome.

So, how many tri-five's are we going to import back in the country?

I gave this one a NP because 'Yota, and the ad says "asking $15." Last car I bought the owner was asking $5500, I gave him $2500 and an extra AK I had lying around.

But if the center caps were there, everyone would cry about how this 'yota has ford hubcaps. Should I bring up the v8 audi with the amg wheels and intact hubcaps?

Aaaaahahahaha!!! Excellent decision!

I love me some 'Yotas, but $16k for a Scion? Ok, it's not a scion, but you could always get an Xb (xB?), a sawzall, some Lexan, and a couple T badges, make one of these over the weekend, and still have enough $ left over to fill the bed with ice and beer.

Damnit, it's a magazine, not a clip! Clips (stripper clips) can be used to load magazines, but are not magazines. Damn politicians.

Dear Cameraman-

It was at this point that Bob knew he was f*cked...

Nah dude, it didn't annoy you more than it should have. I was about to find the video on youtube and explain this.

I'm just going to leave this hear...it was factory fresh at one point, and did all kinds of great offroading during its lifetime. It even took a leap of faith once.

I would have guessed 28.

It lives in Nederland, a short (~30 mile) drive up a dirt road to dirt roads in the woods from Boulder. Never have washboards been spotted in these well maintained dirt roads. Certainly no reason to believe that the suspension may be in need of work very soon.

You are not wrong, the dude "downhill" of the camera is saying to himself, 'ya dude, this happens 47 times a day.' For this instance downhill is to the right of the camera, and 47 is a made up number.

That's sad to hear, poor ol' 'Yotas. I guess that before I leave the Rocky Mtns. I'll have to put one back in the fleet. Maybe this is why people take Rocky Mtn. garbage (80's Fords, K5 Blazers, etc.) and sell 'em on the east coast for piles of $.

We don't have a nice parking lot here either, and in fact the lot that I always park in is nasty, so it's the best bet to get your gear on at the vehicle and leave your dry shoes in the truck. When walking in snowboard boots (and not drunk), you won't bust your ass. Your statement indicates that you also snowboard,…

For those who are whining about clearance I'll just leave these pictures here:

If you're changing out of your ski boots, why don't you bring your normal street shoes? Why swap boots for boots?

the WS.6 man! .....just use that N2O sparingly. LS motors are reliable and cheap to fix. And oh, oh so fun.

Ya, totally not his fault, absolutely the fault of "zee Germans." This guy drives Vipers and Formula cars everyday, that damn Bavarian junk just took off, even if the driver hadn't opened up the throttle, it still would have happened. This car has suicidal tendencies, but just couldn't kill itself.
