That might be the best-looking Syncro I've ever seen. _________________ Joe T.

That's the one that Chris Dixon wrote the NY Times story about, so it's iconic! Due to the storied history, I'd probably buy it and wreck it the first week. _________________ Joe T.

Just when you think you've found the perfect remote, hard-to-reach campsite, some asshat in a unmog pulls up and says. "Whew, almost had to put in 4WD there for a minute, you?"
