It sure as shit isnt that. They did the same shit, with people riding in the beds of their trucks. 

When I was in Afghanistan 15 years ago, I had an ANA global model Ranger to drive around in because I was detached from the army and living with Afghans the whole time. The Afghans got sick of people speeding on their base and put in speed bumps by cutting 1' steel pipes in half lengthwise and bolting them to the…

It almost reminds me of how back in the day, car companies would sell these exact kinds of cars knowing full well it was pointless to put in the work and money to make it a full on sportscar from the factory. All they had to do was give it a powertrain with some headroom because everyone who wanted a sports car was…

92s still had some of the doodads they got rid of in later years like the popup headlights and active aero. Its not particularly fast anymore, theyre not superb in the handling department, they are packed with all sorts of Japanese weirdness, youll hit your head on the roof if youre over 6 ft tall, and it will break.…

Theres a school of thought that “suped up” stems from the early days of hot rodding, meaning a car had been supercharged. It makes sense, but it actually predates that and comes from horse racing- injecting horses with drug cocktail “soups”.

God this takes me back. I gave up my FiST because I too had broken/dislocated my shifting elbow, and went with something quiet/comfortable that I thought I could still have some fun with (535xi). Living in Minnesota, I had to put snow tires on the FiST 6 months a year anyway, and it felt like the car had a big wad of…

Saw my first Polestar 2 in the wild this morning, in Midnight blue. I was quite surprised by how unique and good they look in the flesh. 

Those wheels are so huge I thought it was a 911 in the first pic based on the proportions and dat ass

Back in my high school days in the frigid north, we used to play a game where we would see who could push a shopping cart up the plowed mountain of snow in the Target parking lot using their vehicle. One day, my spidey senses tingled, and I said “We gotta go, NOW!” and threw a shopping cart into the back of my friends…

Ford Flex. Massively superior to the bloated beached whale Chevy Enclaves that everyone bought instead, and much better to drive than the Explorers it shares its platform with. Because of the shared platform, its not a pain in the ass to maintain like truly scarce cars can be. But its still rare enough for me to tip…

Looks like he lost engine power and was autorotating and pulled up at the last second to lose as much velocity as possible while aiming for the shallowest water he could. Hard to be sure from that short clip though. About 20 years ago I was in the back of a Chinook in Korea and that happened, got stuck in a rice paddy…

There is no such thing as a valid reason to pay that much for one of these. CP forever. 

Thats true, but the Mosquito didnt get the Merlin 130/131 variants with 25 lbs of boost that I was talking about. Those got put in the de Havilland Hornet, a later development of the Mosquito, which was basically a smaller more streamlined Mosquito intended to be a long range fighter. Both magnificent aircraft. Cheers…

At first glance, this seems terribly unsafe. But then you think back to WW2, and without the aid of CNC milled parts and ECU controlled ignition timing, the Brits cranked Merlins up to 25 pounds of boost and 2070 hp, then bolted two of them to plywood planes. All things considered, this is much safer than any intended…

Lol no. It was an excellent tank, lesser known than the Sherman because the US pressured the UK to use Shermans instead after the USSR rejected the Sherman Lend-Lease deal and the US was stuck with a lot of extra factories that were about to be shut down. It had a good all-purpose gun that fired the exact same…

Jesus you prius zombies are delusional. You dont get to lie and add 3 seconds to its 0-60 time and pretend to have a valid point. 

Now that I think about it, Ford could have sold a crapton more C-Maxes if they would have recalled them for “unintended acceleration” and detuned the engines to make them slow, instead of bowing to customers who were upset that they werent getting advertised mileage and lowering the MPG rating. You could get waaaay…

As a fellow John Deere drifter, I feel obliged to add that no one should attempt said drift with a trailer attached and one of your brothers and friends in the trailer. Fortunately for both of them, broken bones heal and chicks dig scars. 

This is kinda like someone trying to sell you a Twinkie from 1965 for 16k. Sure it may be in perfect condition, sure its still edible, but being that expensive really isnt the point of a Twinkie.

The stuff they use packs a much bigger wallop than TNT. Or a smaller one, if cutting a car in half with detcord is your thing.
