Yesterday it was a Porsche 918 Spyder facing off against a Red Bull Air Race plane. Today we have a Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT battling it out with a Silence SA1100 Twister. In...

Remember the six-wheeled Mercedes-AMG G63? Of course you do, because it's awesome! It's also awesomely expensive. Perhaps we've found something similar that's a bit closer to your budget. This is the G. Patton Tomahawk, and it's a 6x6 Jeep Wrangler built in China. The car was showcased at the...

From 1954 all the way through 1983, Jeep produced over 600,000 examples of its CJ5. We'd have to assume that the number of those finished with a wooden body, wooden seats, and a wooden roll bar would be low. As in zero. Still, this custom example found wearing Ohio plates probably has a better...
