    No, we don't do drag racing with trucks, we do real racing on circuits:



    Seems these guys know how to tune an engine too, no need for huge clouds of smoke.

    This is a test drive of a MAN Paris Dakar truck:

    Here. Something that looks as ancient as Euro trucks. Except that we built these like 30 years ago 962c77a6a4524d5e76bdbae7bcecdd20.jpg

    I'm offended by that. The NJ smoke inspectors need to be notified.

    They were claiming upwards of 9 mpg loaded. That was pre electronic too. In all honesty if I ever came across one for sale I'd probably buy it. They're ugly but they are very unique. I'd stretch it out, chrome and lights everywhere.

    Always felt they looked like a football helmet. Front lifted up like a mini van rear hatch.
