Lol, I sometimes day dream about a life without horses.  Horses are probably worse than boats or planes.

I told my ferrier after my second bill this month, I need less horses.  He laughed and said he thought I needed 10 more.

1.  These are sick videos and the new custom all electric Audi is unreal. 

2.  @Battleborn what kind of undertaking does it take to clear out these areas for filming like this do you know?

I did not watch all of the video, but I’m assuming that it was permitted. The Strip actually gets pretty low traffic around 2 or 3 AM. If they did it on a weeknight, even more so. A few overtime units could easily shut down a block or two to fill this. 

Interesting note. We now have a specialized unit that is sent out to arrest people involved in street racing and “street takeover”.

That’s what I was thinking, the end is outside the stratosphere and there isn’t a soul on the street.  Usually there are plenty of “professionals” around that part of town at all hours.  Pretty cool though and it got me stoked for next years F1 race there.

A Ford Bronco Raptor.  It looks all out of proportion.

The Strat is actually a pretty dangerous area. Commonly referred to here as Naked City. It is a weird place. Too far north to be easily accessible from the main Strip and too far south from Downtown. 

F1 is going to bring a ton of money to the city and I’m sure the already high traffic fatality rate in the county is going to raise in the lead up to the event.

I was working with some gas station partners near their back in May and it legit was probably the worst part of Vegas I had ever been in and I’ve worked most of the city.  

I didn’t even think about her implications of a race, especially one that takes place on the streets, would have on  traffic fatalities but it makes sense.  Get the lead footed people all hyped and nothing good will come of it.

pretty sure one of these was infront of me early this morning, wide stance. having driven the original bouncy tippy version i would be all over this for off road in my younger days. the first dent would have been a good one...

If only they made it in a 2-door.

you can get whiplash in a two door without even getting into an accident or even hitting a bump in the older version. it would be a must for me to have an extended frame with the two door.

I had a friend who rebuilt a '68 from the ground up.  Started when he was 14 and finally finished when he was 17.  He manged to roll it on its side at about 60mph and slid past the entrance of the highschool.  Right past the long line of parents waiting to pull into the school.

He flipped it back upright and drove it home.  Took him another few months to fix it all and repaint it.

i remember driving my uncles 71 one winter. it bucked forward and back so badly that the car infront of you would disappear then reappear only to disappear again on the highway.  he traded it in for a bronco II, what a disappointment

This brand is totally foreign to me, but I like it.  Excuse the crappy pic, only had a moment while they stopped at red light...

SamIAm2

Looks like a Mahindra Bolero Camper 

Langner91

better known in the states for utility tractors.  Pretty cool little truck!

dbCooper

Spotted a elusive Aztec but it escaped before I could catch up to get a pic.  Almost as rare Maverick sighting...

My first car was a Maverick ('70); thanks for the smile!

OpSec my friend.  That is a common challenge question for proving your identity.

Mine was a 1973 Mercury Comet.

At the Hilton Head Concours, they have the RV driven by cousin Eddie in Christmas Vacation. Million dollar cars all over and this makes my day. Should have taken a pic of the 6” shitter pipe hanging on the other side.

A neighbor has this thing. It's very capable, with a forklift in front, a cherry picker on the deck, and stability braces in back. Plus it's obviously capable of some rather severe terrain.

He's also got two Unimogs, but this is the only vehicle I've seen him drive, other than his 18-wheeler. He was using this for a run to a local fast food chain.
