Ironman’s Other Side of Baja
Ivan “Ironman” Stewart discovered a different side of Baja in a place you wouldn’t
expect. “It was an odd thing really that happened at an unlikely place – a Starbuck’s
of all places,” said Stewart. It was here that the most celebrated off-road racer in
history – a man known for his domination of the Baja landscape – learned about a
place in Mexico where his racing accomplishments had no choice but to fall on deaf
ears.

Camp Jeep
For Gail Duncan, her first Camp Jeep was about far more than driving Jeeps. "What I
thought was interesting was the variety of experiences available for individuals and
families," said Duncan, who lives in North Adams, Massachusetts, and along with her
husband, Doug, owns a Jeep Grand Cherokee. "I really liked the rock climbing wall and
the zip line, and I felt the way that the event was organized made it very safe, but it also
allowed the attendees to have independence and freedom. And, that fits with the whole
Jeep idea and the people who drive them."

Take a Kid to a Car Show
It’s such a simple idea—almost elementary in its concept—take a kid to a car show.
It’s a program that was presented by SEMA (Specialty Equipment Marketers
Association) several years ago to preserve the chain of enthusiasm for custom and
performance cars, trucks and motorcycles.

Nissan Conquers Africa
Never go the easy way when you can take the “Long Way Down” expedition. Two
specially equipped Nissan Armadas completed the grueling 15,000-mile Long Way Down
expedition, crossing the finish line without a single significant incident or mechanical
failure. They became the home-on-wheels to a film crew documenting the expedition.

The 200 MPH Club
It’s a very exclusive club where the entry fee starts at $100,000 and rapidly climbs
skyward from that point. And even if you spend one million dollars to apply, there’s only
one way to ensure you’ll be allowed in – that is to crack 200 MPH.
