i really like the little article "even the reddest of necks..." |
Oh I know, I've seen my fair share of Subbie GL/brat videos from the northwest! I love the clearance and tires on that first white one in the video
I'd rock that for sure!

I think I've seen that video actually of the guy in MOAB, and I was sitting there giggling like a school boy when I watched. I would be more interested in a divorced transfer case for even greater MPG gains on the road
I'll definitely have to look into the subies again, now that I"m more or less in the market for another car
. I kind of have my heart set on Diesel though, the idea of running on veggie or homebrew bio might be too much to ignore.
