If you’re going to be tailgating during a backcountry deep pow snowboard sesh, . This is the machine you use to drive snowboarders to the top of a mountain that doesn’t have a chairlift. The riders don’t even have to bring their wet snowy selves into the cab, as there are a pair of seats in the bed, and a rack on the sides to strap down your boards. There’s even a hitch-mounted grill so you can cook up some hot dogs on the mountain. .

“We built this truck because I love to snowboard in the backcountry,” . “There are several ways to do that; helicopter, snowcat, snowmobile. I thought this would be a good way to do it quite quickly, faster than a snowcat, but not as expensive as a heli.”

Ford delivered a then-new Ford Raptor with an integrated cage, then the Hoonigan team built out the widebody kit, skid plates, custom bumpers, auxiliary lighting, and installed the four tracks in place of the truck’s wheels. The factory 6.2-liter V8 was boosted with a healthy Whipple supercharger to make 650 horsepower, just a few shy of .

The truck was featured in in 2014, where it got 5.3 million views. Set to a rad needle drop from The Decendents, riders Zak Hale and Ethan Deiss spend a lovely day getting shuttled around Baldface Lodge by Mr. Block and his track’d Raptor. Interestingly, , got over 10 million views with no snowboarding action or cool music. The internet is a weird place.

The folks at LBI Limited in Philadelphia, Penn. have been trusted with selling a few of the other members of the Ken Block collection in recent years, , (my favorite of the Gymkhana series), , which was also used for his 2013 Global Rallycross efforts, and . . That’s a whole hell of a lot more than you’d pay for a regular 2014 Ford Raptor (), but this is hardly a regular 2014 Raptor. It’s also almost double what you’d pay for a new Raptor R, but are these custom touches and the Ken Block factor worth an extra 85 grand? That’s for you to decide.

I Let A Ferrari Mechanic Shave My Head With Ferrari Clippers
Ferrari hasn't been forthcoming lately with the press cars , so we were delighted to get the chance to drive their latest model. Well, sort of. It's a set of hair clippers. And who better to shave off my curly locks than a Ferrari mechanic? Meet the Volare X1. Built...

For $28,000, It’s Not The Same Old Saab And Dance
In what is possibly the most annoying car ad practice, the seller of today's uber modified Saab says he's entertaining offers. Well, la-de-freakin'-da, we're not here for his entertainment, we're here for his judgement. Based on its laudable 61% Nice Price win, it looks like it could easily be someone's...

For $28,000, Be Tributary
Tribute bands may not always look like their honorees, but they usually do a good job of at least sounding like them. Today's '81 Porsche 930 is outwardly a tribute to the legendary 959, but does its price think it's the real deal? Prince may have wanted us to party...

For $2,500, Go To Hellcamino
The concept of an afterlife for sinners filled with suffering and pain is a prime motivator for believers keeping on the straight and narrow. Today's Chevy — audaciously dubbed the Hellcamino - may be seen as sinful, but will its price also appear set by Satan? Based on its 64%...

For $2,499, This Is A Festiva You Might Actually Want
There's always a party at Ford, it's only the venue that changes. Today's Festiva represents a party sort of like our political third parties in that no one really wants to come. This one may be different, but will its price have you wanting to party on? The laggardly replacement...

For $3,500, This Bayerische Motoren Needs Some Werke
Jackie Onassis loved driving her , it reportedly being her favorite car. Today's 3.0S was once the top of BMW's lineup here, but will this one's price and condition have you exclaiming Jackie OMG? Former first ladies and pickups aren't something that typically go together, but considering the vastness of...
