Look at a Scamp trailer, teardroppy size and light weight but with a wet bath in even the little ones available.

Thats why I'm restoring one. A '66 terry travel-pak 16 foot. It'll take another year or so before it's done but when it is It'll make for an excellent family weekend rig. 

Agreed. I just had to use my wife’s 4runner to tow a 2800 pound angle load horse trailer with her fat thoroughbred loaded up because my truck was down and it didn’t squat that much. In fact I had to put a three inch drop hitch on it just to try to level the thing out, weak point on the runner was the soft sidewalls of…

Can’t be the nash. One of those gnomish little freaks was how my grandparents met. When grandma was 18 she “borrowed” her dad’s metropolitan one night, she didn’t have a license and her dad was thepolice captain in town at the time. She then proceeded to drive into the next town to go to a dance and got pulled over by…

My favorite part of the h2 was that if you got the "3rd row" it wasn't so much a row as a single chair awkwardly slapped into the cargo area. 

When I was a kid my mom stalled her datsun 510 wagon in a parking lot and rolled into a brand new VW cabrio. It was just hard enough to push the cabrio over a parking block and that was enough to knock the entire front clip, and the whole rear clip off of the VW. No damage whatsoever to the datsun but that VW was…

Fantastic. My mom would buy the tree-hugger. She slapped a “proud tree-hugger” sticker on the tailgate of my dad’s pink f350 once. Good times, good times. 

Ford Tempo GLS 4 cylinder. My mom had one and it was absolute garbage. 100 rampaging horsepower in a not quite taurus, not quite escort monstrosity. Hers was an 89 in black. Imagine this but with crappier wheels.

Only some had ranchos. My friend’s dad bought an avalanche z71 back in 02 and it came with, drumroll please. . . Thicker Rubber Body Mounts!! That made it more off-roady. His dad never noticed a difference or if he did he didn’t care. 

Since both of them can turn a circle inside the length of my old beater truck I think the new mav would be an excellent rig for the townhouse/ weekend project person. One of the Officers I work with just pre-ordered a base model and is really excited about it.

Close. Bantam was the first. The U.S. government gave the cotracts to Ford and Willys Overland along with the Bantam design because they didn’t believe Bantam was up to the job of building them but their prototype was vastly superior.

I wish my friend’s beech baron had been capable of that. Then he and his wife would likely still be here rather than ending up in my back yard back in '03. 

We call it a “Training scar” in law enforcement when someone picks up muscle memory type habits that in an actually stressful situation reappear often in negatively impacting or dangerous ways. This would appear to me to be an example of that. 

From my understanding the ground effect is being managed by extensions of the brake ducts on the rear wheels rather than 1980s style sude skirts so they would be less disturbed by track conditions and softness of suspension. That’s not to say that they wont be effected, just that it should be somewhat mitigated.

My mom drove a ‘63 valiant for a decade and didn’t die despite several whacks because she's way too short to see over the hood so perhaps it doesn't have "safety features" or "crumple zones" but thats what the car you hit is for right? 

That’s the exact mindset of most of my parolees that I spend every day trying to help them change. My experience has been that most tefts, icluding retail, burglaries, vehicle and car parts, etc. are the result of a basic sense that this will harm anyone coupled with a lack of seeing consequences. It’s not so much a…

A teacher a Concrete High School in Concrete Washington had a pinto wagon with troll dolls and action figures glued over every semi-horizontal surface. It’s a toss-up between that and a friends wife’s car, a Nash Metropolitan with a 13 foot long antique surfboard on a roof rack(she drove it everywhere until she passed…

One of the guys I work with had a 9-5 he dailyed until about a month ago when his wife hit the wrong pedal in her exploder and pushed it into the back yard through the wall. He’s looking for an old 99 turbo to replace it now.

I watched nascar try to run laguna seca once. That was pretty funny. 

First gen Ford focus. When they came out all i could think was that they were replacing the escort with an egg shaped snoremobile. I was wrong, it was actually a lot of fun in the twisty bits by my buddy's house on Whidbey island, i still love to take madrona way when i go back up to visit him, though now my little…
