I love the water skiff maneuver about 12 seconds in.

Yes, you too can compete in the Lucas Oil Off Road Truck Series.  This program from Speed Technologies’ SuperLite Arrive & Drive rental program, puts you in a race-ready truck and fires you down the track in an actual racing event.

All it takes is passion, dedication, travel, and about $8000…per day.  Of course, if you want to try an entire season without the commitment of starting your own team, you can do that for about $52 Grand.

Not a bad deal, all things considered.  If I were exceedingly wealthy, I might even consider this over the Mustang Driving Experience or the Richard Petty Driving Experience.

Of course, if I had that kind of money lying around, I would probably do them all.

The headline reads “Russian strap-on”, it involves tank treads, and it includes the name Metelica.   Clearly, this is a must-watch video, no matter what your particular fetishes, aversions, or diversions might be.

Probably won’t be needing one on the CO Front Range, but if you found yourself in Siberia, it would probably come in handy.

Just had to pass this one along.  Sounds like this dog somehow inherited the gearhead gene and spends most of his time on a dirt bike, even when it’s in use.

Not sure I would do this with a dog, and I’m sure PETA camps out in front of this guy’s house, but it makes for a cool story and photo.

This is a long one at 6 min, but well worth the time to watch.

Ever have a bad day ‘wheelin?  A day where you drove into a hole you knew you shouldn’t have?  A day where you basically destroy the rig you’ve spent endless $$ and hours building?

Yeah, me neither.

Mmmm.  That’s purty.

Very cool Mog.  Not your average daily driver…

No need for commentary on this one.  Classic.  Beautiful.  Even comes with that furry foot warmer on the back of the seat…
