Freeze Your Tracker Off!

We could go play like this, but I don’t think it snows in Colorado anymore.

Ah yes…what to drive to the High School Reunion (assuming you have some choice in the matter). The question is posed here as a choice between the Jeep JT Concept and a Corvette Z06. Given that offering, I’d take the Jeep.

If I truly had a choice I would drive the same ’68 Mustang I drove to High School Graduation…

7000km Across Mongolia…

Rally Racing fascinates me. Piloting exotic vehicles endless miles across desolate terrain in the middle of countries that are generally unstable… Not to mention, a lot of the rally coverage comes from foreign newspapers, which can make for an interesting read.

Here’s an event that crosses Siberia and Mongolia. Apparently Team Quatar is a favorite in the Transsyberia Cayenne.

If Mongolia isn’t on your list of “must see” countries, you can opt for this little endurance challenge across Sri Lanka.

More ridiculous concept vehicle madness. This F450 at SEMA is no grocery getter, bit is obviously very practical…sporting a Mountain Bike Rack.

I don’t know about you, but I’ve never seen an article about the Rubicon that originated in the UK.  Not the usual tongue-in-cheek Euro trash this time.  Instead, some reverance for the Rubicon from the Belfast Telegraph.

Here’s something you don’t see everyday. I’d drive it…but it needs a lift…a lot of lift.

Please be advised that the use of a Shotgun to remove pesky lug nuts may result in damage (to person, not vehicle).  According to this AP story, the guy at least had some patience, wrestling with the lug nuts on his Lincoln for 2 weeks before finally resorting to gun violence.

Remember; guns don’t kill people.  Crazy bastards in WA with Lincolns parked on their lawns kill people.
