What A 250 Million-Acre Public Land Sale Could Mean For The Off-Road Industry
Ford Performance at the 2025 King of the Hammers in Southern California's Johnson Valley. Since President Trump took office in January, the threats to anything considered public—from a large slice of our nation's workforce to the media—have been unrelenting. Earlier this month, these threats took on a new form: potentially robbing the American people of millions of acres of public land. Unveiled on June 11th and revised on the 14th, the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee's budget reconciliation bill outlines over 250 million acres, to be slightly more exact, that could be offered up for sale to private business. As reported on by Jonathon Klein of Ride Apart, this could have a tremendous negative impact on not just our natural resources, but every corner of the outdoor industry as well. For those amongst us who enjoy off-road driving (or hiking, camping, fishing, hunting, cycling, climbing, etc.), the possibility of being cut-off from lands where we savor such activity is very real. Klein points out one particular swath of land in Southern California, Johnson Valley—home to one of the world's top off-road racing events, King of the Hammers—is on the chopping block, which would not only be detrimental to this event, but every single industry that's involved in it. Automakers, the aftermarket performance and racing industries, tourism, general outdoor equipment industries; the list goes on. Take that same scenario and multiply it by every other parcel of land that any other outdoor enthusiast could lose access to, and the damage would be extensive. For a good overall picture of what's on the chopping block, The Wilderness Society has created a handy map. Competitors at the 2020 King of the Hammers in Johnson Valley, California. But why is all of this land potentially for sale? As stated in the bill itself, as much as $15 billion in revenue could come from expanded oil, gas, coal, and geothermal leasing. Other aims include increased housing production, domestic energy security and timber production, as well as, in the bill's summarized words, 'ensuring states and counties benefit from energy projects on federal lands.' The Wilderness Society has also outlined a handful of counter arguments. In its words, 'research suggests that very little of the land managed by the BLM (Bureau of Land Management) and USFS (US Forest Service) is actually suitable for housing.' It also explains that the federal government can revoke national monument status and that certain changes would negatively impact sovereign Tribal Nations. We can't forget the fact that increased energy production carries its own environmental hazards, too. It's all bad and very unnecessary. One thing that truly makes America great is its beautiful natural land that's here for all of us to savor, and this bill could cut off a very significant portion of it. And again, there's the immense adverse effect on every single outdoor industry, especially off-road driving and racing, and the massive amount of American companies that feed it. Contact your US senator and let them know how you feel. Especially if you live in Utah, which is Senator Mike Lee's turf. He's Chairman of the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources and the creator of this bill—ironically, as many as 18 million acres of his state's land could potentially be up for sale. That's a lot of territory for off-road driving, hunting, shooting, fishing, climbing, camping, hiking, mountain biking, and so on.

'Here's How I Found Out:' Man Rents Out His Car on Turo. Then He Discovers a Customer Swapped Out His Transmission
One man says that a person who rented his car through Turo intentionally caused serious damage to the vehicle. Now he isn't sure if he'll ever get his money back. He wishes he had never done business with Turo. Get the best news, reviews, columns, and more delivered straight to your inbox, daily. back Sign up For more information, read our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use . TikToker Pauli (@champagnepauliiiii) recently revealed what happened when he rented his car on Turo. Pauli explains that he had a 2016 Ford Mustang in addition to his everyday work car. To make some extra money, he decided to rent the Mustang on Turo. 'I only rented it out once, and the piece of [expletive] swapped the transmission in my car,' Pauli says. 'I'll never rent on Turo again,' he adds. His post has over 112,000 views as of this writing. What Is Turo? Turo is like Airbnb but for cars. Instead of going the traditional route of renting through a place like Enterprise or Avis, it allows you to rent others' personal cars. Like how Airbnb disrupted the hotel market, Turo is disrupting the rental car service industry by offering cheaper prices, a wider selection, convenient pickup, and longer rentals. In most states, you can even rent a Turo through Uber . It's called Uber Rent, and they have access to Turo's car selection. How Did He Realize They'd Taken His Transmission? Pauli may never have known what happened if his Mustang didn't have a manual transmission. He says that after he got the car back, he had to change out the clutch multiple times within a few months. At first, Pauli says he just thought he didn't know how to shift properly. Trending Now 'That's Obviously a Villain Car:' Man Spots Honda Fit in Parking Lot. Then He Notices the Back 'Enjoy That Day Off:' Man Asks People to Photoshop a Video to Look Like He Crashed His Car to Skip Work. The Internet Complies But eight months and two clutch replacements later, he took it to the Ford dealership to try to get to the bottom of the persistent issue. 'These bolts have been replaced. These were not screwed back in properly,' he says the mechanic told him. Then he contacted Turo. He says they 'were not much help.' 'When you steal from a person that is trying to make it or an individual that is just trying to find a way to make a couple bucks, there is a real special place in hell for pieces of [expletive] like you,' Pauli says. 'I hope they got what they deserved." What Should He Have Done? Pauli's options are most likely limited. If he had opted into Turo's protection plan, Pauli would have had to send documentation of the vehicle's condition and file a damage claim within 24 hours of getting his Mustang back. Pauli doesn't say in the video whether he signed up for the protection plan. But since he didn't know about the damage until eight months later, he wouldn't have been able to file a claim within 24 hours, anyway. He could also sue the renter. This is probably his best option, but there are still roadblocks to relief. To prevail, he'd need proof the transmission was swapped out and that they were the one who did so. He'd also need their identifying information, such as name and address, which he might need to get from Turo. This is further complicated by the fact that Turo's terms state that if you sue a renter, they may charge you $5,500 for breach of contract. So he could win a new transmission and still lose money. Is There Another Explanation? Multiple commenters said that there could be another reason why his transmission had new bolts. It's nowhere near as nefarious as a customer stealing it. 'Transmission has to be unbolted from the engine to do a clutch job,' wrote one. 'If clutch was replaced twice already by a 3rd party shop more than likely the bolts were replaced by the shop.'. 'Can't put that on the Turo ride. U had it opened up twice for clutch jobs. Could have been done wrong during that,' another said.

We Get a Look Inside SEMA's Secret Garage in California: Video
When you think SEMA, you think about the glitz and glamor of Las Vegas in November, where the organization hosts its yearly industry show for the aftermarket sector. While the show is important, it's only a small part of the SEMA operation. The Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) is an organizing body that represents over 7,000 member companies, spanning all areas of the OEM and aftermarket parts industry, from wheel makers and parts suppliers to real-deal car manufacturers, and everything in between. In addition to running the annual industry show, SEMA also offers market research, networking, and "legislative advocacy" for its members. The organization recently lobbied to help end California's 2035 EV mandate , for example. SEMA also offers emissions testing services for products developed by its members. This type of testing is prohibitively expensive to obtain externally; SEMA runs its two facilities—located in California and Detroit—at a loss so the aftermarket sector has a fighting chance at survival. In our latest video, West Coast editor Chris Rosales gets an inside look at what goes on at the SEMA Garage in Diamond Bar, California, to see exactly what goes on there day-to-day. He gets a tour from none other than President and CEO Mike Spagnola, where we get to see the shop where SEMA's specialty builds are created. We also get a peek at the multi-million-dollar emissions testing rooms, as well as a look at Spagnola's tastefully modified Nissan Z.
