I routinely crammed 3 young kids, and even 4 on occasion, into an ‘02 911 cabriolet. They’re all grown now, but should the need arise, I’m banking on muscle memory for them to squeeze into my 2 door Bronco!

The kids are now 25, 23, 23 & 20. Once I teach them how to competently drive a standard, I’ll let them borrow it. As long as they promise not to eat in it. ?

I’m 60 and want a toy. I’ve put 3 kids through college, helped one of them get through law school and am putting my youngest through college currently. I have a ‘13 Land Cruiser which checks all the boxes that any rational person not worried about MPG or prestige could want. Great on the...

Here’s one off of the beaten path.

Thanks for the prompt reply! That’s pretty good bang-for-the-buck. In my much younger days, I had a 911 and the power kit to boost it from 320 to 345hp was 17K. Let’s just say I passed.

What is the Ford performance tune? About how much does it cost and will it void the warranty?

Regarding “Eastbound and Down,” I took a picture of this car in Leipers Fork, TN last week.

If you want hard-core off-roading in a National Park, Canyonlands is your ticket. The Park Ranger all but scoffed when I inquired about certain roads to take in my stock Land Cruiser. I was in good company in this remote spot on the north rim of GCNP.

No. But I might drive it to the wave.

The North Rim is awesome. If you have a chance to get over to Tuweep, on the western end of the North Rim, it’s worth the trek. Attached are a couple of shots from 9/6 taken with a Nikon D7000, 18-200. It’s very remote. I saw only three other vehicles there. You’ll need 4WD to get there.

I haven’t made it there yet. I just managed to make Death Valley, Joshua Tree and Saguaro last year. Lotusland, in Santa Barbara, is a fantastic botanical garden with an incredible cactus section. That’s the closest I’ve made it to the Organ Pipe Cactus.

I was one of the lucky, in-person lottery winners. My number was one of the five picked out of over 40 numbers. Keep trying! It’s a fantastic hike. I struck-out multiple time on the Half Dome lottery. Should have climbed it when I was younger, before there was a lottery

Will make Buena Vista on Friday. Trip started from Austin home base. Here’s today’s stop.

On the way. I’ve got a few stops to make first. Was here today.

Gotta have a stick. Teaching kids to drive a standard might be the last useful thing I’m able to teach them!

I told my daughter today that teaching her and her brothers how to drive a stick might be the last thing I ever teach them.

I signed up earlier today. Kinda funny. I’ve always been a GM guy. Although it’s hard not to like old Mustangs, Cougars, T-Birds and Broncos. I’ve never been a Jeep guy, even though I did learn to drive a stick on a ‘64 Willys 2WD. But when I saw the new Bronco, which I was NOT greatly...
