The 250 Odysseys like that one weren't really much. When they came out with the 350 Odyssey that thing rocked. A couple years later they had the Pilot which was a liquid cooled 400. I never got to drive one of those but was told they were over the top insane type of excitement. I know my brother rolled one at a Honda Fun Days event in the early 90s. Things like that are probably why Honda quit hosting such events. Lmao

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.

We'd roll those Odyssey 250s every time we ran them. I thought that was the idea

Yep...my little brother had one, saw him roll it end over end many times. It's a good thing they had those wrist straps to the steering wheel to keep you from putting your arm out.

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.

I saved that picture ages ago. I wonder where it is now. Can anyone make out the state on the route number? Our state hiway routes are marked with signs just like that.

You guys go ahead and plow your snow in that cool '57. My plow days are over. I'm going out to play

ps: Hard to believe I got no comments on Bill Jenkins with Jungle Pam

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.

Much more idiocy like that and we'll all be made to get a towing license. An added reg but might not be a bad idea. They could revoke this guy's and make the roads safer.

There's short on You Tube where an SUV that size is hauling a lifted Square body K20 Suburban loaded ass-heavy. He got the tail wagging bad enough for the trailer to scooch the SUV sideways to stop it. Lucky. Didn't roll anything and the 'Burb rear tire on one side jumps off the trailer but otherwise stayed on. The person tied it down well body his loading not so much
