I wasn't aware the USAF used Piper Cubs. Awesome little planes, but I wouldn't really think they were ideal for any sort of fighting or recon.

Wow dude, you are hilarious on so many levels.

I've purchased cars without test driving them before as well, mostly online. After all, how are your supposed to test drive a car you buy on ebay that's 1000+ miles away?

I've been pulled over so many times that it doesn't bother me at all. I guess I've just been desensitized. I literally don't know how many times I've been pulled over, but it's been in the 20-30 range, maybe more. A cop in my home town had a grudge against me and had me on the 'hit list', so I got pulled over every…

I'm guessing you're single.

Okay, I'm going to be the odd one out, and say that I like the knockoffs. If I have a $3000 budget, and have to choose between a15-year-old 'real car', and a brand new 'knockoff' that looks mostly like the real thing, I'd be strongly tempted to buy the knockoff. Sure, I love my Fords, and my Escort is great, but if…

Seriously? Why all the hate everyone? I thought that was hilarious. Then again, my humor is rather off-the-wall.

Whew, I was worried they were gonna insist on female bulls.

I once took a '92 Miata to a dealer for a 'check airbag' light, and was told to come back the next day. I just wanted a diagnostic and a quote. They told me that OBD1 cars were difficult to diagnose, so it could cost a couple hundred dollars. It was my baby, and I was 18 & stupid, so I said 'okay'. The next day I…

Absolutely agree, but with one exception; it kinda looks like they were trying to make it into a GT-kit (how's that for irony; an exotic import kitted to look like a Ford?), and since the GT is my favorite car of all time, I can't really complain about other cars looking more like it. But even I will attest that it…

Is that a snorkel?

I'm probably in the minority here, but I think this is what the Escape should look like. The old Escapes tried to look rugged and 'suv-like'. The new design is just hideous to my eye. The bodystyle looks fine on the c-max, but not the Escape. They took a crossover that was popular for looking like it was trying to…

Actually, I'd say it 1-upped it. Watch from 5:30-6:00, those are some pretty gnarly twists.

I used to have a trailer brake controller with a manual brake button. Pressing it activated the trailer brakes and the brake lights, without doing anything to the car brakes. Anytime I had a tailgater or someone with their highbeams on following closely, I'd quickly tap that button. It didn't do anything besides…

Video of a wagon rock-crawling. I like them; they're the buck-toothed sister of the FSJ.

My '81 GL1100I Honda Goldwing (with a 1.1L V4 and 4 synchronized carburetors) gets close to 50mpg ridden hard across The Black Hills with two passengers, and the bike weights about 1200lbs with us and all of our gear. Of course there are larger engines on bikes now, but at the time, mine was about the largest bike on…

Okay, I'm a little ashamed to admit this, but I had no idea that BMW had ever made a car so beautiful. I'm really not a Bimmer guy at all, and have no knowledge of the cars, but that car is hawt. That seriously makes me want to like BMW a little bit more.

I wish I has a picture of it, but there's someone who used to live near me who had just that. It was an older '80s truck-nosed school bus that had been chopped to fit 4 4-wheelers on the flatbed, and the rest was converted into a camper. Not a bad setup, really. Especially if you were suddenly homeless.

Unfortunately, my internet connection is snail's pace and is incapable of playing YouTube videos, so I can't watch it, but I just want to say that the car is beautiful! I've never touched a Datsun, but if they were to bring back a roadster that looked like that, I'd seriously consider it in place of a Miata — and for…

In fact, now that I think about it, I'm probably the only Jalop reader who likes the Smart ForTwo. How can people love the 500 but hate the ForTwo? It's rear wheel drive!
