Don’t try this at home, kids.
This fellow decides to test his four-wheel drive jeep on the boulders and lava fields around Amboy Crater, just off Route 66 near Amboy, Calif.
If anyone needs to test-drive a new 4WD vehicle or check the performance of a new Mars Rover design, you could do a lot worse than this place.
Music is by Manhattan Transfer.
UPDATE: Swa Frantzen, owner of Historic66.com, noted that it’s actually a miniature remote-control vehicle, albeit “a very nice one.”
Actually this is quite safe for kids to play with at home: it’s a miniature – a very nice one, but still a model car.
Well, I’ll be. I didn’t notice the first time.
You might have noticed that the vehicle has no driver! I believe this is a very detailed model of a Toyota FJ40 Landcruiser.
