Like others have said... Military for 8 years before this. Someone from another team died while they were on the mountain as well, and I know a few people dropped out of the expedition early due to injuries/acclimatization issues.

If you're going to use the 3rd ID patch in your stupid army games, at least have it right side up. Dumbasses...

FJ8 R3H?

Good call...

I was actually cruising down the road in my Wrangler today when I smelled burning brakes. I pulled over to find that my front-passenger pads had caught fire. I didn't have a fire extinguisher in the car, but I managed to put it out with the 1/4 bottle of Coke I had left.

I replaced my front brake lines and…

They must be going for the retro look.

I think it's ugly, but at the same time I love it in a nostalgic sort of way...

Maybe if I was driving it on some big orange plastic roads with loops and ramps I would feel a little less conflicted.

Yes, that was the same for me. I remember now that the only point that the tester deducted was because I backed into the spot using only the mirrors and not looking over my shoulder through the back window. I told him that I didn't look that way because the rear window was covered with a dusting of snow. He told me I…

That's true... From what I can remember, I never had to parallel park on my driver's test either, and I did mine in Manchester. I did do it in the middle of a blizzard though.

I had a little, red 1994 Nissan Sentra SE that I picked up for $350. The body was perfect and the underside was rust-free. I changed the water pump and the struts for about $150 and drove it for about a year until I went on a deployment. While I was gone, I made sure my wife was driving it around a few times a month…

A few things...

1. The short wheelbase makes it a hell of a lot easier to spin in the snow/rain if you're an inexperienced driver.

2. High speed emergency maneuvers can end pretty badly for inexperienced drivers, and the brakes are kinda shitty.

3. Crash ratings aren't that great, and the stock front rollcage (aka…

After a move like that, I'd kinda be worried about stopping to check on the person. They might try and run you down or shoot you in the face.

Yeah, for real. They've got to be fucking kidding...

I agree. My brother has a YJ, and I have a TJ. The only real difference between driving the two is that the potholes are a little bit less jarring because of the coils.

'07! Wagon Mafia 4 Life, yo.

I would off-road it into a bridge abutment. I hate those headlights so much.

45, 65, 90, 150, whatever. Who cares how fast people in Cali drive. It's all over 30, right? Anything over 30 mph and you shouldn't be splitting lanes is the point that I think you're missing here. Lane splitting is supposed to help with getting through traffic congestion. It's not that congested if traffic is going…

They should just make lane-splitting above 30 mph a ticketable offense rather than it just being inadvisable. The truth is, people are likely to just do it anyway...

Then we could just add it to this article 'ticket people for lane-splitting over 30 mph' right alongside 'ticket people for not signaling.'

Well, I'm going to quote the California lane-splitting guidelines with something you might agree with...

"It is not advisable to lane split when traffic flow is at 30 mph or faster —- danger increases as overall speed increases."

I think that is something else that everyone else ignores while they are lane-splitting to…
