Because guided tours and itineraries in a place like Cuba suck. So much of the most interesting stuff that you’ll see is off the beaten path and has nothing to do with whatever culturally or historically relevant thing the tour guide sees fit to show you. It also adds a significant cost to the trip that you would not…

Yeah I’m not so sure about medicine, but I could see that there might be some hygiene products that are harder to get over there. The shampoo selection in Havana might be slightly more sparse than in your average American grocery store. This is based on my experiences in Vietnam years ago so it may not actually be…

I hate it when dealers do that. I feel like they should know better

I gathered as much. I actually would have been much more surprised had she been riding on a kaiju, FWIW.

Your comment gave me a sad..

Hey, fuck you. Jalopnik has always been a blog, and Alanis is probably one of the more mature of Jalopnik’s staff (certainly less crashy). And if you hadn’t noticed, one of the awesome things about it is the level and quality of interaction between the staff and the commentators, so keep it civil, dipshit.

I too was upset by the title. I came in expecting her to have driven a werewolf or maybe a kaiju, and somehow she was actually driving a car. Total click bait.

Aww hell no... Is that from community?

Put some Yokohama Geolanders on the RAV4, then got to try them out on a particularly rustic trail to a campsite (which, by the way, we did not make it to. After I made it up this little section, another section that was pretty much all rocks was next, so we cut our losses).

Not to mention they’re cars no one else has built. It’s not like they brought to market two “me too” sports sedans or grocery getters. They’ve created a new market niche.

It’s definitely not just cars. You think cars are bad, try the sailing/boating crowd. Or the private aviation crowd. People on there swear with a straight face that air cooled, carbureted flat sixes Billy to crazy loose tolerances are more reliable, more powerful and “smoother” (less vibration) than modern automotive…

They comment on that in the video. There’s a camera man hopping from boulder to boulder who can’t keep up. And from personal experience: trying to hike up some of the hills they’re going up (not literally the same hills, but I rode some semi steep stuff in California back when I was a pup) are freaking steeep.

That’s laughably, stupidly difficult stuff. The second place guy tossed his bike over the top of the hill at one point, the third place guy fell (dropping only from second to third in the process), and this was apparently one of the easy years.

The hood opening looks like a vagina.

I am shocked... shocked(!) at the suggestion that any sport run by a man of Bernie Ecclestone’s caliber for forty years would be anything less than a shining beacon of equality and integrity.

This gets multiplied x10 with little monkeys. “Come on kids, let’s go wash Daddy’s jalopy in sub zero weather for three hours.”
Wait, that actually sounds like just the character building activity I’ve been looking for...

The BMW vagina?

Room temperature superconductors, and an alloy for a high capacity, cost effective low mass density battery. I don’t know what the theoretical limit for energy density is, but something twice that of gasoline would be nice.

I think the only thing missing is Bond and him being killed at Bond hands with a groan inducing one-liner

Everything hates you too, Bernie
