Range Rover climbs 999 Chinese steps

I saw the 30 second ad on TV last night and found the longer version online. It stars Ho-Ping Tung, my favorite Dutch-Chinese race car driver.

Two questions:
1. At the end, there was a disclaimer about safety lines. Was the car hooked up the entire time?
2. How did they get the car down?

A jar of sausages at a dive bar

Has anyone had these Reser's Hot Mamas? The label says: "A cured pork and beef, beef heart, cereals and soy protein concentrate product".

DeMuro checks out a 1993 Wrangler

My 93 was not this fancy. Mine had a soft top and the four cylinder. It didn't have a body kit or that fancy center console. I had to buy a center console from a junk yard.

The interior is exactly like mine.

Two trips coming up

In April, we are going to Palm Desert. We are meeting up with another family with young kids. I think we're just going to sit by the pool the whole time. 

When I got the i3, it came with a day of driving instructions at a BMW school. There is a school near Palm Desert. Unfortunately, it expires this month.


Then, in May, we are off to Sedona for a family member's wedding. The scenery should be spectacular. If you have any suggestions for restaurants between Phoenix and Sedona, please let me know.
