Classic YouTube: This Jeep CJ-7 Tough Truck Romps Through A Course Like It’s Not Even Bothered

There is something about the way a properly pissed-off AMC V8 sounds that, to my ears at least, is unlike any other V8 made. They are deep-throated engines, snotty, with a mid-range that sounds like...

Hilarious Violence Video: Watch Some Dudes Rip The Engine Out Of A VW…And The Entire Front End Of The Car!
