It totally doesn’t look like that kind of case at all. Have you seen what happens when a race car hits a solid barrier at over 90? And those kind of cars are designed with all kinds of equipment to allow a driver to survive a crash like that. The bottom line is no matter what car you are driving, there is a huge risk…

Well Porsche runs a v4 turbo gasoline enginr, Audi runs a pretty close to flat v6 turbo diesel and Toyota runs a high reving v8. They all have totally different hybrid systems and Porsche uses electricity to keep the turbo spooled. They also all use different approaches to aero efficiency. That’s lmp1 and in the gt…

Toyota did make vehicles that could compete with the wrangler and earlier cjs untill like the mid 90s. The og 4runner with solid axles, the land cruisers till 95 when they ditched the solid front and got all supper big and the og Toyota pick ups with solid axles. All light small 4x4s with amazing reliability and…

I thought Audi was their direct parent company? But does it really even make a difference since its all owed by vag

O no I don’t think it is at all. My point is that I can understand why some people would want ships like that to support an amphibious assault. I still think it wouldn’t be the best way to do it though.

I don’t know about it being cheaper or not to fire shells v. Missiles but I do know my close friend and boss was a marine during the Regan erra all the way up to 2008 I think. He was a master gunnery Sergeant and faught in rhamadi in 2005 and desert sheild way back in the day. He said one of the things he knew to be…

I also really really like the quirky coupe shape. Swooping fast backs are cool but the little notch back makes me think of all the old great light little sports coupes that I loved so much.

If I could get it with awd and diesel I’d rock that van

Holy crap I never knew anything about that firepower concept. That’s awesome. What was the idea behind it? A more civilized ground touring kind of viper?

Isn’t that thing similar to the Toyota matrix? Or pretty much the same?

I was OK with that when my buddy had one and we used to sleep in the thing instead of bringing a tent on surf trips. It was actually surprisingly comfortable. We just passed the straps through the car so someone would have to open the doors or cut em to get the boards off the roof and it was perfect.

You know what... Rag on the element all you want. But that thing is awesome.

Maybe because of the extreme toe they will all crash thier cars into really deep ditches and lakes trying to turn. Destroying the cars and ridding the world of the problem.

You left out the fact that he rode teahupoo which is one of the knarliest waves on the planet. It comes out of supper deep water and unloads with a ludicrous amount of power on a supper shallow reef making the ocean look like its folding over on itself.
