In a perfect world I would have two vehicles (a fun two-seater and a then a used SUV), but that’s just not in the cards right now.

Someone stores and never drives a Pinto: You’re doing God’s work!
On one hand, I agree about the lack of safety. I’m fully aware every time I take out my 72 Vette that the fiberglass body isn’t going to do a whole lot to slow down those forehead-level SUV bumpers in the event of an accident.
Why bother with the camo? Without it, no one would have given it a second look, because it looks just like any other F-150. Now they have to field questions that they won’t answer.
....aaaand it’s upside down for some reason. Oh well.
Here’s a scooter I used to see around campus here in DC. I was always blown away by the detail.
My uncle had one. I think in the decade-plus he owned it, it may have been running 6 months. His was evidently the first one with fuel injection, so it still had a huge cowled hood to clear carburetors.
If you look at the rear shot in the article, there is clearly a notch for exhaust on the driver’s side. I’m sure a larger engine will be available in the future, once they need to bump up sales.
The scooters seem incredibly dangerous.
Don’t engines have to be mounted high to clear AWD systems? That’s why Ferrari developed the wacky system in the FF, to keep the hood low. I don’t think there’s enough room under the Miata’s hood.
I had a friend with a Plymouth Neon who rear-ended someone. When it came back from the repair shop it had a Dodge badge on the hood.
My 72 Vette. It’s not fast, gets bad fuel economy, is not comfortable, handles poorly, brakes poorly, and I love it.
I still can’t look past the gouged eye socket headlights. If they did a Cars version of Costner’s Robin Hood, this McLaren would be found hanging out around a burned down church.
It’s not so much a question of whether you can get it running and held together enough to make it to Moab, it what happens if you get into a major accident along the way? This Jeep, no matter how much you weld it back together, will end up about as well as that “Death Kart” did last year. It just not worth trying to…
I saw an interesting video a few years ago, explaining a few possible scenarios:
And I’m guessing that the law is based on something, some kind of study somewhere that said that drivers that take these courses get in fewer accidents.
If only there were some clues where it would go...
I’ve seen what Geph is talking about... Unfortunately, it was my cab driver at the time. It was probably 15-ish years ago, before the digital switch-over for TV, he had one of those portable TVs that were a foot deep with a 3 inch screen wedged into the passenger side footwell. Over the course of a 20 minute ride, he…
“These guys are being disrespectful by drawing attention away from the game,” says man in costume designed to draw attention away from the game.
With so many of these selling well above list, I wonder how pissed the owners will be when, a year from now, Dodge comes out with a Demon Redeye stuffed with the Hellephant motor?
