I did exactly that when I bought this brand new back in 2008.

I love how positively pointless monster trucks are. It makes them infinitely cooler.

((I’m not supposed to say “happy new year?” There’s a war on THAT now too?))

This might be a weird ask, but is there a reputable importer that specializes in LHD Japanese cars from Europe? I’m asking because it’s hard enough to find 70s-80s Japanese cars in America that haven’t rusted through the floor or better-kept examples that aren’t commanding insane prices. But every once in a while, I’d…

When I have the time, space, and courage, I plan on lifting the Volvo 2" with the Bad Swede kit. After my wife bought an Element, I thought about getting a second and installing a kit from Colorado Mountain Rally. They have kits for RAV’s and CR-V’s, too.

Previa would be cool, but Delica would be a better starting point IMO. Or perhaps you could put the Previa body on a 4Runner frame.

I suspect many build them themselves.

Unfortunately, we do want people to actually read the stuff we write,

Offroads like a jeep, with road manners of a sedan.

Now, not cheap... Prices have gone up like crazy on them! I have one in stock (blue!), but with accident history and higher mileage (good mechanically though) and it will be around 10k$ landed... (shipping to the US included...).

This is a quote from FIA president Jean Todt, and also a former team manager for Ari Vatanen, a rally world champion - and a Finn. (Search for ’Climb Dance’ on Youtube for an award winning short film of Ari rocking the Pikes Peak with a Peugeot 405)

Or as Martin Brundle (I think) put it: when you can spin your tires at the end of the Mulsanne Straight, only then do you have enough horsepower.

Delicious! Thanks!

I can do full translation of that old article. Some random things for now: The engine really was from Group 5 Porsche 935. There really was some kind of freewheeling clutch in between front driveshaft and the transfer case. Both axles had some sort of LSD:s. Steering was unassisted and so were brakes. Car was geared…

Cute young man. Soooo very breathtakingly handsome adult!

Most folks will tell you the insistence upon gender roles is stupid. Honestly though even if you don’t have a problem with doing that, it was still dumb that as a major celebrity he said something that would so obviously agitate even if you personally have no problem with it.

Eh. It cuts both ways with me. People can identify however they want, and gender roles don’t need to be adhered to, but it’s also kind of a pointless folly to act like they don’t exist. 200 years from now, hell, a thousand years from now, men and women will still have different wardrobe and stylistic choices.
