My sentiments exactly. Why would anyone want one of these? I had one. A de-mobbed LR Airportable that was completely illegal. I got it from an importer in North Carolina. Hmmmm... I had to give it away (for offroad use) when I found out it was illegal. I lost $12,000. I don't blame the government I blame the…

I sat on a plane once next to a guy who had the job of going to train wrecks involving pedestrians/cars and removing the video from the train and documenting the scene. Apparently all trains have dashcams now because so many people get run over at crossings and just walking down the tracks. I don't know what they paid…

I bought an alleged 1967 Land Rover ex-military Airportable back in the 90s from some Land Rover importer in VA for $10K and had it shipped to Anchorage fucking Alaska. Turns out it wasn't a 1967, it was a 1973 and illegal. I literally gave it away. It also put a damper on my whole Land Rover fetish, so I sold the…

The approach/departure angles and the clearance on those trucks are not available on any current stock truck I'm aware of. Ford Raptor SVT? Even a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited would need an aftermarket 4" lift to have that much clearance. I also wonder how many times they had to stop and rejet the carb on the way up. …

72.5K. This is based on the fact that I am a Jeep owner of lifted modded Cherokees going back to the 80s and should be the last person interested in this CUV. But, having owned a Suzuki Samurai at one point and knowing how much fun it was, I would consider buying one of these Renegades. Especially with the…

Interestingly, the one guy who died did not die as the result of a crash. He was unscathed, found 900 meters off the track dead of hyperthermia. Still I think Laia Sanz's finish is huge. Her agent is probably renegotiating her contract for next year as I write. And don't forget the poor guy who, while having a…

Correct. I should have said BMW motorcycles have not shown up in years. They no longer make the venerable Dakar which was a 650 and wouldn't qualify anyway. Replaced it with a Sertao, whatever that is.

BMW hasn't shown up for the Dakar in years. Why not something less clickbaitable and more important like the fact that a woman Honda rider came in fifth on the hardest stage and is now standing eighth overall. How about poor young Israel Jeremias-Esquerre giving up his engine so his team could go forward even though…

The fundamental problem with this review is the assumption that you will actually get to ride the Scrambler. It's a Ducati. Sure every month or two it will emerge from the shop with its problem (and there will be many) cured only to have it come back or a new one emerge.

100% agree including knobbies and high mount, especially knobbies like some Continental TKC 80s. Yes I realize they wear out in 6000 KM, but that won't be a problem with the Scrambler because it's a Ducati and will be spending most of its life in the shop. It will take years to wear out the tires.

Seriously? The illegitimate coupling of the spawn of Satan's Jeep with a woody (literally) versus the holy grail of Jeepdom is debatable? And at the price of about half the price of a fairly low mileage Unlimited? Insanity. Give me a Lada with a skid plate tovarish.

All the National Parks and monuments have banned drones. Those days are gone. Soon the USFS will pile on because you might be monitoring that elk you want for steaks, the BLM will join the fray because you might take a photo of some unsuspecting sage brush and basically, it's all over for drones unless you're a…

Pontoon boat? The fuck. That is something rednecks cruise around lakes on while drinking Beam. Only way you die on one of those is by stumbling into the barbecue or smacking your head on the prop on your drunkass way overboard.
