You’ll never guess where I came across this Blazer… No mistaking the Team/University affiliation on this one.

Maybe it’s just me, but when I look at this vehicle I hear disco music…

If this thing has always been this black and shiny, someone definitely spent some time picking up chicks in 1979~ish.

I was made for lovin’ you baby…” (That would be a KISS reference, in case you were confused.)

I’m not sure I’d trust a 2007 Rover to drive across the state.  This guy obviously has more faith than that and decided to pilot his Rover across the Bering Strait.  He’s a Brit, so it must be a patriotic thing…

Livin’ large in Boulder…

Spotted in the parking lot at my local Hooters…I mean…Starbucks.  Yeah, that’s it…Starbucks.

The Hummer H3T has reportedly gone into production – even after the economic proclamation that, supposedly, the ”SUV/Truck is dead”.  I applaud GM for having the Balls to produce this vehicle. 

A few quick stats…front and rear lockers, 32 or 33 inch tires,  available V8 (or 239 hp/241 torque from a 5 cylinder), manual trans, 4:03 to 1 xfer case…sounds pretty trail-worthy right of the lot.  Full time 4×4 is also indicated, but I assume that is an option?

FJ Cruisers and Rubicon JKs beware? 

Ford…are you listening?

Admit it…we’ve all thought about living out of our vehicles, either out of sad necessity or for camping cool-factor.

Well, for only $110,000, now you can - with the Earth Roamer XV-JP.  From our own back yard in Lafayette, CO no less…

That’s only a few dollars more than a new Rubicon…sounds like a good deal to me.

One day after making my case for Matchbox over Hot Wheels in the battle of cool die-cast mini ‘wheelers I found this little Baja Bronco gem at my local Target…

Doesn’t have quite the realism of the Matchbox stuff, but still very cool.
