Indeed. The rural western state where I live is full of rednecks driving brand new pickups and Mormon Personnel Carriers (Chevy Suburbans) paid for on our agricultural subsidy tax dime. Which is not to say there are not poor people at the monster truck events. But I think it’s not the norm. Also I am now inspired to…

It’s art. A performance piece paid for at great expense. A metaphor for how the car culture of America implodes on itself, when our global oil-return fails us and we melt into the pavement like so many cheap Japanese plastic fairing panels. It is exquisite and should be a competitor at the Sundance Film Festival next…

Agreed. And none of the commenters seem too concerned with the spring-over lift. That’s just 2 guys, 4 new longer shocks and a case of Shiner Bock. Maybe a spring-over is OK, but I’d want a real lift kit before handing over more than $5K.

Yes. A frunk. That’s what us Honda NC700x motorcycle riders call the faux gas tank storage unit that can handle two, count ‘em two, six packs.

“Vesuvius”- in honor of their ability to blow head gaskets.

Excellent theory. Can’t rattlecan a disk brake. Well I suppose you could, but it would last all of a ten minute night ride thru Kandahar.

Why would they want a 110 with drum brakes when they could get a 140cc with better engine protection and disks for $500 more? Oh wait, it’s the military. I’m sure by the time they add the milspec lights and rattlecan paint job the price will have risen to that of a BMW Sertao. The 110 is admittedly very light. Maybe…

Adult male moose can weigh 1500 pounds. An average cow moose, at least in Alaska, goes around 1000. New Hampshire moose are probably smaller. I have dodged more than my share of giant moose in Alaska. They are hard to see on the side of the road at night and they are dumb as puffballs. You never know when they are…

In the 80s I had a job in Alaska that required me to once a month travel in the early morning dark hours (winter) straight through the heart of a moose refuge to another small town. The government equipped me with a K-Car for this travel. I told them to fuck themselves and drove my 2.5 litre Jeep Cherokee despite them…

The city I live in has many squirrels. Many appear run over in the road. I know of no one that has run over a squirrel. I have never run one over on either a motorcycle or a car. Yet there they are dead in the road. I attribute it to squirrel gang violence. They drag the bodies into the road to cover up the evidence.

Brad is going to have to learn how to get google to put his URL at the top of a search. Seriously, I'm thinking ok I'll drive over there and buy a car. Google Brad Miller Toyota. Nothing.

And after one loop around the track you have to fix the head gasket.

Some states have a provision that if you don't pay a judgment for a car wreck they suspend your license. In the 80s I sued a guy who dinged my car at an intersection. I sued him in real court though not SCC, because SCC is a joke with no rules and fly by pants equity style "justice." He didn't pay, I did the paperwork…

To do it right Jeep would need to concoct some sort of new retro-Lucas electrics. Something computer programmed to fail intermittently for no obvious reason and make it impossible to fix without replacing the entire wiring harness on a semi-annual basis.

Wouldn't they first have to commit a crime, go to prison, get a job in the prison license plate shop, then make a plate with your number on it, then when they're paroled put it on their similar make and model to commit the robbery of the century? Or alternatively they could drive down the street until they found…

The CRF250L has pretty bad suspension that is only 8" of travel as opposed to 11" on a 250 Yamaha or 13" on a 250-350 KTM. Otherwise I really like the Honda "Little Red Pig." I recently took one around the Hana Road on Maui and was impressed, except for the suspension. As for the CB500X, a British company, Rally…

The new design is a perfect transition to the razor-delivering drones about to descend upon us.

The Obama Administration never gave a fuck about wildlife (or the environment for that matter) until Hillary decided to make it a priority because Chelsea wanted an avocation. So Hillary got the State Department to pony up a boatload of funds for the cause, enlisted DOJ and all the usual suspects including the US Fish…

Idaho hasn't always been the reddest of the red. When I lived there in the 80s they actually had a democrat for a governor. Now they have a guy named "Butch" Otter. He wears a cowboy hat for his photo on the state's webpage and his claim to fame is going 3 rounds with EPA over filling in wetlands on his property. The…
