Hitting the whoops with speed



The Sand Dam at Superstition mountain (a 2 wheel drive truck with extra suspension travel CAN make it all the way out there)






















Good place for a US flag





When topping a steep dune, don't stop til you're over the top... or ya might have to get off and push




Even Porsche's are playing in the sand dunes, I didn't see this one til he was leaving

Geo Metro, 52 miles per gallon when it's not towing the toys out to the dunes

Fuel Magazine has just added an online Zine, it's awesome, here is a small sample (of 42 slides) to entice you







Gotta hand it to editor Luke Ray and his photography... awesome magazine with a superb layout
http://www.fuelzine.com/the-fuel-tank/beta-issue is the beta test and it's a flip style page turner like Flikr, you just look for the arrow on the right hand side in the middle of your screen

Car craft subscription prices, can vary drastically in the same issue. Isn't anyone there looking at their magazine before they send it?


pretty obvious isn't it?

Feng posts another damn funny one ( his site is not for easily offended Serbo-Malaysians and NSFW)

Car Craft Magazine has a 6 page feature about Thomas Payne's 1930's service station (I posted about it a year ago, amazed at the treasure he found)

This entire story is on a really long thread on the Garage Journal, and it's one of the coolest finds ever. Car Craft's Jeff Smith has just published in in the May 2011 issue, and it's worth a look if you see the magazine.

http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/03/this-car-guys-dream-maybe-yours-too.html is the link to my post a year ago, and for the thread on the Garage Journal where Thomas adds new photos of things he's doing and restoring that were left in the garage, like floor jacks, the hydaulic car hoist (Rotary lift company), Sun distributor tester, etc, http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=51567

Homemade tank inspired by the Transformers movie... but the tank treads caught my attention, they'd work well in woody or vegetative areas I think
