Share the road...

Just Say No To Stupidity: What not to do with a truck
poorly loaded truck Posted June 19 2008 02:53 PM by thomas_voehringer

 How stupid is stupid? When does expediency cross the line into idiocy? Many things are asked of trucks and truck owners. Even your best friends sometimes see us solely as a means to an end if a task is too overwhelming...

Making the Scion Hako Concept Work
Scion Hako Concept Posted March 25 2008 02:25 PM by thomas_voehringer

 I like the retro design movement just as much as the next guy, but Scion got it backward with the Hako Coupe . It’s put the front in the back, and the back in the front. When I was studying animal behavior in college...
