Why are the tires flat?

No Valance, maybe towbar related?

Somewhere, someplace I read that "dink" owned a 914.

Looks like he tried to drive through a 914 sized pothole.

That is Roy Black next to the white 914. My guess would be the picture was taken during the filming of the video.

Is it a bumper or an oil cooler?

Also, the dude is sporting LE colors.

Actually the 914 is offroading. The air was let out of the tires to get a better grip. This is the early redneck challenge, before the guy built the 914 pickup biggrin.gif

How does that narrative strike ya'll? shades.gif

Got it. Just watched the video. I feel dumber.

Maybe they did some filming on a trailer so no air in front to lower the car and level it??

Posted by: Chris Pincetich Oct 15 2015, 06:56 PM

That was one wild video! beerchug.gif
"Hey kid, get back in that trailer and make some food while I drive!!"

WTF.gif Half way through the song I was hoping the trailer would go off the cliff.
