An excellent read that makes me want to get working on the ‘84 E23 I picked up last May that made it as far as from the seller to my street 10 miles away before needing a jump to get it in the garage where it has since been parked because I haven’t had any time to locate another instrument cluster and repair the dash…

Hogsback was pretty rough when we were out there in May. We were traveling clockwise, and the drop from the very top was all torn up, and this was even after a group had spent a bunch of time repairing it just before we got there.

This is the general public we’re talking about, meaning most probably can’t even find their own car in an empty parking lot.

Yeah you do. If you don’t get an actual documented speed, anything else the cop throws out based on a “visual” will be easily tossed out by even the worst of traffic lawyers.

I will admit to pulling dumb stunts like this in my younger days. 146 in an SRT-4 doesn’t surprise me one bit; I’ve done 120+ it a Omni GLH Turbo that has way less power and the aerodynamics of a brick. My old ‘95 SHO I had the speedo pegged at 140 several times, so who knows how fast I was actually going and the…

Absolutely zero unless you delete the emissions and run a tune.

That’s me day to day with my F350, except the suit/tie part fortunately. We can pretty much wear whatever we want.

You deserve more stars!

All I can do is thank the driver for not sacrificing a rare E34 wagon to the gods of the Nürburgring. They apparently spared it, and for good reason, as it’s one of my all-time favorites. I only wish we had better access to them in the US.

Agreed, and how about Alissa Walker as well?

Going to have to reluctantly go with crack pipe. This XJ looks pretty solid overall, but a buddy of mine bought a ‘99 with much less miles, a small lift with new BFG KO tires, and a functioning heater for about the same price earlier this year. There was some janky wiring repairs and the stereo install was a joke,…

I used to always ask for a Mustang when I got comped a rental from the dealer while my FoST was in for warranty work. When I first was renting them, the only limiter on them was the factory one. When the new models were introduced to the fleet, I couldn’t figure out why it wouldn’t go faster than 80 with the pedal…

I’d drive if I was in the market for a lifted wagon; it’ll certainly be more reliable than the Audi, likely better apportioned than the Volvo, and it won’t be another biegemobile CVT Subaru that is on every street corner in the PNW.

Haha! This is in my neck of the woods. I saw it on one of our local media websites but never thought it would make it to the front page of Jalopnik.

If you have the room, a CO2 tank mounted in the vehicle is a great alternative to a cheap 12V air compressor. The CO2 tank will fill the tire up much faster and you can use it for all sorts of other tasks. I haven’t had to use my tank to fill up a flat yet, but I’ve used it often for reinflating after being out on…

Always the appropriate response!

That’s the book I use, too! It’s fantastic and has been great for finding offroad adventures the past two years I’ve vacationed in Moab.

I realize full size trucks aren’t the best for offroading, especially where it gets technical, but the challenge of getting through it and seeing the reactions of all those driving small Jeeps, 4-Runners, and Samurais when they see the beast way out on a Jeep trail is part of the fun for me.
