Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Rebuild one, the few that are still in the boxes are given to museums not psychotic Rednecks. On more realistic levels though I think it'd be neat to get an old willy Jeep body and convert it to electric, theyre light enough that a squad of men can pick them up so I figure they may actually lose weight without an engine depending on the battery type.

That would actually be pretty cool. Not that a new in box one wouldn't be pretty cool, too.

That would be awesome! I love classic Jeeps, especially the Willy's era - if you actually ever manage to do this, I hope you make a video journal and share it somewhere.
