“Name Tsunoda, from Japan huh, where were you on December 7, 1941?”

Easy NP. I owned a 78 242, bought it a police auction for 300 bucks, with 140k plus miles on the odometer, when I got it needed new disc brakes and shocks and that’s it. I daily drove it for 4 years and sold it for 800. During those 4 years only needed regular maintenance and replacing one broken generator cable.

The tech is certainly there now, we even have flamethrower drones to execute prescribed burns. Someone just needs to spend some money to build and test a multirotor UAV capable lifting a full bambi bucket, and still has the range to travel from water source to fire and back. Which is cheaper, rebuild existing…

Eh, modern traction control can handle most of the stuff these will face, long as the owner don’t go rock crawling, or mudding in this.

Forward Control Jeep (legs are over rated anyway)...

The only thing this pilot will carry from now on is rubber dog shit out of Hong Kong...

Always liked the UAZ logo

Ariel Atom, long as you don’t wrap yourself around a tree, great views, fun drive to get there.

Skin graft procedure is not painful at all, kids can take it, right?

This is a joke right? Bring down a 20 foot drone with rock salt?

Zhiguli 1200, or officially VAZ 2101 (nobody called it a VAZ, also the name Zhiguli was used before Lada). Mind you the original FIAT 124 was a great little car of the era, but the soviet copy was not that good (Top Gear had a fun segment about this S12-E6). Anyway as a young kid growing up behind the iron curtain,…

Mad respect for the service NOAA is providing. One would think that these guys were a bit better prepped for flying through extreme turbulence, yet there are so much unsecured stuff rattling around, yup, that plastic bag hanging on the panel is sure s secure stowage for things :) 

Early Fiat Panda 4x4

These days, the agency needs it to have space for two astronauts and their space suits, as well as rugged capabilities that can traverse the lunar landscape with ease. The craft can also be remotely operated and can be summoned as required.

2nd gen Buick Regal, hmmm..

Reminds me of a certain Toyota Hilux.

Since I grew up in Eastern Europe behind the iron curtain, we had no cool cars. However we had state backed semi military flying clubs where my dad worked, I had a lot rides in these:

Isn’t this the same car Jeremy bought for less than a 1000 US dollars in the Top Gear first US Special (S9E3)? Beware of the cowjuice - ND.

Well, no “additional”, emission. The human already exist, although moving from A to B while moving the vehicle with you probably raises the fumes output, and increases the resource intake too.
