This turns completely on its head when it's my turn to go shopping and the answer to her hasty query is either "music" or "kitchen supplies". Then she bolts, because this time I'm the one wandering through aisles for hours, fingering things I couldn't possibly need or want, such as the latest J-Lo album or a restaurant-quality stand-mixer that can make 3 tonnes of dough at one go.

Sometimes, we're able to make deals. Our local mall, for example, lets her initiate happy marital give-and-takes such as: "While I go look at clothes for untold hours in Papaya, you can turn your ears numb at the listening stations in Virgin."

We fix a time and meet peaceably after, shopped out and ready for dinner.

Custom 1996 Toyota 4Runner - The Runner

Unless you're Marty McFly, chances are you're not going to be time traveling anytime soon. But, for today's purposes, you could pull out your old issue of Mini Truckin', June 2000 issue, Page 26 and find the twin of this truck. You see, back in 2000, Officer Berry Trulove and Ford Ranger were featured in this very magazine. I know what you're thinking, and no, I'm not crazy. I know Ford Rangers and Toyota 4Runners look nothing alike, but if you look at the pics of this Ford, there are some major similarities.

After achieving his dream, what else could Berry strive for? He decided to build one of the baddest 4Runners in the nation, one that lays body, is super-clean, and one of the first ever finished. When Berry's wife was away at school, he decided he needed something to pass the time.

Dodge Demon Concept Goes on the Attack

It seems that one of the fastest growing segments of the automotive world is the affordable roadster, perhaps cashing in on all those baby boomers on the cusp of retiring, but want to have a sexy (empty nest) kind of ride. Dodge has just unveiled their Demon Concept, a two-seat convertible with a bit of an angry streak, marketed directly against the Pontiac Solstice, Saturn Sky, and Mazda MX-5. Because it is yet another open top roadster in the DaimlerChrysler family, you've got to wonder if Dr. Z is ready to scrap the Crossfire. There are certain elements on the Demon that remind me a Nissan 350Z, other parts that make me think of a Honda S2000, but the part of the car that really sticks out is that ultra aggressive nose. It's like it has a cross-hair in its teeth. Principle designer Jae Chung says that "while the iconic Dodge Viper is a dream car for many, the Dodge Demon is designed to be an attainable dream car." It'll tip the scales at 2600 pounds and come equipped with a 2.4L engine good for 172hp and 165 lbs-ft of torque.
