Probably just checking the air pressure in her spare tire, like we all do monthly.

Didn't the 2000 Buick LaCrosse concept vehicle (not the one currently in showrooms) have the same setup?

Somebody needs to contact ZZ Top and see if they could use another set of wheels.

Makes you wonder which one went on first; the one that started the whole obsession...

If the dad were heavier you could have captioned the photo: "Fat Man and Little Boy".

Looks like maybe it was stored in Tulsa at some point in time.

When he hooks up a set of windshield washers to dispense beverages on the fly, THEN I'll be impressed!

Considering gas prices are shown in the video going up to @ $2.40 per gallon, I have to wonder how old this video is...not that Lutz was a Ford guy back when gas was that "cheap".

@readplays: The triangle-shaped side window gives it away; the angle of the C-pillar is definitely a Nissan. I thought perhaps it could be a later model 2-door Blazer/Jimmy, but it's too boxy...well, actually I guess it is a box.

Anybody else notice the vehicle depicted in the header of this thread that's painted up in the Stars and Stripes...appears to be a first-gen NISSAN Pathfinder??!?

@albertojb: "Once in Quepos you can take a shortcut trough a very exciting but dangerous gravel road and you'll get to Dominical Beach."

This wouldn't have happened if the Slowskys were driving.

Who says you can't polish a turd?

I thought the last page of honorable mentions was interesting...I'd forgotten about the car that was in White Lightning, which was filmed in this area. Wonder if it might exist in a barn around here somewhere (or was it crashed in the end, I don't remember)? Probably wouldn't be as effective at acquiring "shaky…

@charles_barrett: We'd be in the wake of the New Madrid Fault zone here, so I may get to experience all three before it's all said and done. There's really no such thing as "soil density" in the Delta region; if/when the New Madrid Fault gives way it won't be pretty if it's of the magnitude of the big one back in…

The orange jumpsuit will probably have the polar opposite magnetic effect that his yellow car had...

@Maxichamp: Does earthquake damage tend to be centered around the fault line, or does it cover a broader area? Living in tornado country, having seen one in person and seen the aftermath of several...and having also spent a few days cleaning up after a major hurricane, I think I'd rather take my chances in a…
