Cool Vehicle Sighting – Not an Off Road Vehicle

Posted by on October 28, 2008 No comments

I spotted this sweet low rider and had a chance to chat with the owner at a recent fuel stop.  Very cool project.

Believe it or not, those giant tires (which required some significant tub work) are pushed around by a a fairly mild 350.

No particular reason to post this…other than the very high cool-factor of this Desert Racer/Pre Runner F150.

VW Truck Debuts to Massive Euro Press Hoopla

Posted by on October 22, 2008 No comments

Ok, here it is…the much anticipated VW pickup.  Why is it so anticipated?  I’m not sure…especially since it is not initially slated to appear in the US (or Europe for that matter).

Rumor has it, it employs a dual range AWD (yes AWD) system similar to the Taureg and boasts a “1 ton” capacity.

Looks to me like a scrappy little brother to the Ridgeline, but I have to admit the interior is nice and the Baywatch-inspired theme would make a cool Hot Wheel.

What Time is it? Ask The Russian in the UAZ.

The questions abound:

  1. Does the clock run?
  2. Swiss or Russian movement?
  3. Why is Flavor Flav in Russia?
  4. What’s a UAZ?
