How To Murder Your Mail Order Bride In Death Valley (http://jalopnik.com/5910170/how-to-murder-your-mail-order-bride-in-death-valley)
Another cautionary tale of how not to venture into the back-country, or just amusing fiction?
The best part is when the dozen or so vehicles of the SoCal Land Rover Owner's Club show up:
Out of the trucks came tools the likes of which you wouldn't believe exist. A giant orange airbag went under the rental car, inflating off the exhaust pipe to lift the entire right side of the Impala feet off the ground. An LR4 driver opened his trunk to reveal a digital display indicating that the fridge that took up half the space was chilled to precisely 34 degrees. The other half held an air compressor, which he used to reinflate the tire after plugging it. They had a good tire off the rear and onto the front in under five minutes and the patched tire onto the rear in about the same time.
