Cool Idea: Mini-ATV/RVs

Whoa, hold on a sec. Cool ATVs or RVs? No, I haven’t been lapping up antifreeze from beneath my cinder-block-residing Camaro. Jalopnik is reporting that Yamaha is doing some market research about small ATV-like vehicles that have the ability to turn into mini-RVs. I think that’s a neat idea.

Well, neat up to a point. I think ultimately it’s going to be used mainly by hunters, who I am guessing already form the majority of side-by-side-seating ATV buyers. Scratch that, all ATV buyers. But I dunno, this might be a good idea for people who work in extreme areas. I have friends who do geology in remote parts of Alaska, and I bet you could helicopter a few of these in and be a lot more self-sufficient than just an ATV/tent combo.

Anyhow, check out the article at Jalopnik.

I found this to be pretty hilarious. THIS didn't make it into the list, but it should have. I guess they included it with the "Chrysler" entry in the list.

Forgive me if I've been sucked into the lazy blogger's "blogging about other blogs" disease. I'm just a bit busy. I'll be back on my game soon.

Until then, read this article. And if you don't already, you need to check out Jay Leno's Garage website, that'll kill some time and let me pound out some real blog posts.
