I remember when UC Davis still had an old Willys truck in one of their departments. Must have been some super old school ag professor or something. Shot this back in the summer of '08. No clue if it still lives.

I was just learning how to use a point-and-shoot, so the warnings to student drivers like 'please do not drive over 30 M.P.H are out of focus.

Damn was this one cool truck.

If only we could start a LeMons stunt league. Like the X Games, but really, really shitty.

How many cars can you jump?

The do a barrel roll competition

This could be the most dangerous game ever. Spike TV might give it coverage...

Sacramento State College's bookstore had the wagon version of that back in 1970 or so. We'd fill it so full of textbook boxes that the front wheels would leave the ground. Made for a fun drive around campus.
