I’ve finally joined the oil-burning ranks! You read that right—despite spending the better part of my adult life working on this magazine (as well as sister publications Truckin, 8-Lug, and Work Truck Review), the only time I’ve ever piloted a diesel-powered vehicle was a sweet BMW during a trip to New Zealand…the rental company must have had me mixed up with someone else.
Until now, my stable of cars has included a Toyota Camry (which came with a bow for my 16th birthday; was broken into multiple times; and was stolen, driven through an automatic gate by two would-be murderers, and subsequently returned to me—unharmed—by the police), a lowered Honda Civic that overheated on more than one occasion and even caught fire on the freeway, a pretty reliable Honda Accord, a Scion XB (my first new car, fresh off the lot) I still miss today, and my current commuter: a Toyota Prius C.

Getting (Un)Stuck
IN THE FIRST installment of this series, I explained how I, along with my wife and two dogs, took Vincent Van Go, my new-tome ’03 Ford E-350 with the venerable 7.3L powerplant, on his first adventure—and wound up at a secluded campsite (aptly named Camp Nada Lotta) in the Southern California desert.
