    I don't know; very cool but I still have recovered from the Alp Cup videos. I feel like I just got my Learner's Permit.

    This would be great if it wasn't sponsored by Red Bull and VW.


    Also: needs more trucks. I love me some Dakar trucks.

    Full on desert hoonage with overpowered, testosterone-fueled vehicles. What could be better?

    Barak Obama must be pretty proud of himself right about now. He's got the Secret Service parting tides of human revellers in Washington, DC like the Israelites before some ancient Pharaoh. Then he gets to jump in that brand new Cadillac One, with his wife and kids. What a ride. And it still even has that new-car smell.


    Well let it be known here and now. If I ever get to be President of the United States, I want no better vehicle than this awesome monster of a truck, Race Toureg 2. Terrorists? No problem, let's hit the Potomac!

    That race is for lightweights, try driving in Connecticut on I-95 now that all these idiots from New Jersey and NYC have relocated. It's like the Brake-Check Olympics.

    I love the vee-dub used as the article illustration. That's a respectable dirt cloud there.


    To be totally honest though, I think I'd have more fun driving the support truck.

    As much as I like fast cars and tarmac, I think driving that Touareg across Patagonia would possibly be the coolest motoring experience available to mankind. You could make a living raising Alpacas and rounding up Nazis.
