I’ll allow it.
Looks fine from every angle except head on. Just like it’s RDX big brother (below).
301hp, red interior, and all the personality of a lukewarm bowl of gruel.
Yeah but its a water cooled engine. You indicated in the article that the vacuum lines are “responsible for cooling the engine” and that is 100% false in this case. They don’t move enough air to perform a measurable amount of cooling in this application.
Speaking of overheating, that temp gauge is over 1/2 way in your pic, and in my experience w/FD RX7's... that’s damn near overheating. (source: https://www.rx7club.com/3rd-generation-specific-1993-2002-16/temperature-gauge-question-1071201/ )
Ballaban drove it like a video gamer, Lee drove it like she was actually racing in real life. I’d pay money for a series where you race on the video game, then strap into Spec Miatas or whatever and race the real track in real life where the fear of death / property damage is real.
They’re, sadly, way ahead of you on that.
I wouldn’t rule it out...
Back in my day they called non-OSUT boot camp and AIT the “IET Pipeline.” AIT falls under the umbrella of the term IET, so I think you’re technically right?
It’s a lot easier to catch people in the act when you’re “incognito.”
Haha I was also a 25B. Small world. I’d probably have gone insane being bottled up on post for 6 months. Were you at least able to hit up the class six and sneak a few back to the barracks?
Same. Even PLDC/WLC, had to buff floors. I eventually went OCS and thought “ah ha, finally a course in TRADOC where I won’t be getting my Floor Buffer Driver’s badge.” But sure enough, my first weekend duty, out came the floor buffers.
Indeed, I was half expecting the ‘journalist’ at the helm of this particular article to not do any further research and just go by what the announcer said. I was pleasantly surprised to find he correctly ID’d it as a 5 ton.
I was Army, we used them. Frequently.
That youtube commenter is full of shit. The only thing I ever drove at boot camp was a floor buffer.
Is this what the youths consider music? If so... I might have to come out from under my rock and listen to more of it.
I really appreciate that you took this minivan thing further off road (even if it was a prepared track) than 99% of the Wrangler owners in my area.
258 miles is great, but have you looked at the thing? Makes the 1st gen Nissan Leaf look sexy by comparison. The non-ev Kona is hideous, and this manages to top that.
