Okay, we're a little crazy to have a Duramax for a daily driver. But if we go off our meds, we might wind up in a Prius.

Geezus... I don't know what line he was trying to take there but it looks like he had a lot of air in those tires. That was some hard packed snow.

Is that the same CJ-5 thing that attempted Kaner with us a couple years back? I seem to remember it having steering issues right out of Long Meadow and (thankfully) not having to spend the day on the trail with it...
Yep, I've wheeled one of those, too...

He must have a good cage in that jeep... He was a little beat up (broken wrist and head gash) after the roll but was able to walk away from the jeep right to the amabalance.
