Huh? There's nothing that explicitly keeps gasoline engines from being useful in water crossings.

He's saying THAT thing will never cross a river, not that crossing rivers is impossible.

I don't think I had fully realized how little difference there is between the front and back bumper until I saw this. I spent a good 30 seconds staring at what I at first thought was a replacement rear bumper, wondering a) what was wrong with the old one and b) why they both had license plates on them.



:monocle:

I never realized this.

Jesus Christ, what's the loving point? Buying a Smartcar already announces you have more money than brains and should probably be sterilized, but there's a loving Brabus edition?

I saw these on a newer Beetle a couple of years ago...asked myself the same thing, although it worked better on that car than this Jeep.

If you're using Chrome the imgur plugin has a right click option that lets you click/drag a selected area and it auto hosts it. Very slick.

There's probably a Firefox equivalent.

Indeed there is, Imgur Uploader.

I haven't found CCW holders or off-duty law enforcement to be immune to displays of over the top road rage. Making it easier for people to haul their gun out at the drop of a hat while behind the wheel is a bad idea.

How about we don't go down this goddamned road, ok? Nobody gives a poo poo about your anecdotal evidence.

Out of everything, its the lone shovel in the roof rack that really bugs me. No other tools, just a shovel. In case, what, he has to dig a quick hole? Who are you trying to kid, buddy? At least throw a pick or a mattock up there, at least try to sell me on your little Aztec Adventures Playset.

A shovel can come in handy if you off-road. He's got enough running gear on there to almost pull off the look of someone who takes that thing off the pavement...but he's not going very far on those tires. Illusion shattered.

The cab of a Sport Trac is longer than the bed. Those 2x4s are shoved down the passenger footwell (or up to the dash down the middle of the truck), they're probably 6-8 feet long and the bed is like 4.
