There’s a million replies to this thread already, but I’m going to add my two cents anyway.

Rather hilariously, the original 1st-gen Yellow Odyssey was so light in the front that no air pressure was needed in the front tires. I rode mine with the tires completely flat for years; the stiffness of the rubber was enough to hold them up. I think the front of that thing only weighed about 40 lbs.
I’m embarrassed to admit it, but ths is kinda hot.
Somehow, I don’t think this is getting resold as stock.
I love how the trunk springs are still there, waving in the breeze.
Is a hill climb really that impressive on blacktop?
Looks like it’s got decent cell reception. Or something.
That Jeepster is downright regal. Looks nothing like ‘Jeep’ as we know it, but heck, I can imagine royalty driving up in that thing.
Wow! Sounds like a lot of record keeping. Care to share what the cost/mile results were?
I have a similar rule for cars; $1,000/year. If I buy a beater car for $2,000, I expect it to last me 2 years before a major breakdown, and to have zero value at that point. If I spend $15k on a car, it had better give me 15 reliable years. If I spend $5k on a decent used car, drive it for 2 years, replace something…
This brings up something I’ve been wondering for a while, but couldn’t find any info on; What happened to Oppo? It’s not on the jump list anymore. Is Gawker trying to distance itself from it?
People are always more interesting than cars
As a fan of the original show, I gotta say that Henry Cavill appears to have captured the essence of Solo quite well. Hugh Grant, on the other hand, is terrible casting. Couldn’t see enough from the trailer to say on Illya. The original show was very cloak-and-dagger and took itself way too seriously (which was the…
In fact, here in 2015, meeting up through the Internet is so common that I know people who have made friends, started relationships, even become engaged following their online rendezvous. And I'd say that I only disapprove of two, maybe three of these relationships, which is a far better proportion than people I know…
These days, things have changed – so much that virtually anyone who spends any time on car forums probably also attends Cars and Coffee, and shows up at 4 a.m. to get a good spot, and posts photos on Instagram of how their local Ford Focus club managed to take up an entire row of parking, and Tweets pictures of the…
If roundabouts were built like that here, they'd be fantastic. Problem is, the geniuses who design them get this idea that they need to use the entire 'wasted area' in the middle as a park, and build something too large to see over/around. You essentially enter the roundabout without any way to see the oncoming…
That was exactly my first thought.
Plywood —especially the 3/4, 13-ply wood they're using — is actually a remarkable material, flexible and quite strong. Cars have been built from wood for years (ask Morgan), and unless you're planning on filling it up with gas by driving through a gasoline pool and then enjoying a nice smoke, plywood is plenty safe to…
Wow, that's one loaded refrigerator.
No airbag? I'm really surprised; I would've thought the safety laws would apply to big rigs, too.
