New Rules for Driving Through N.J. Forest: Penalties for Violations

The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection has released a new map for Wharton State Forest, restricting vehicle access to certain areas to protect the environment. The map reduces the number of roads available for off-road vehicles, aiming to prevent damage to sensitive habitats. Violators of the new rules face fines up to $1,000, with additional penalties for environmental damage. The initiative has sparked debate between environmentalists and off-road enthusiasts, with the former supporting the restrictions to safeguard the forest's natural resources.

The Legendary Chevy ZR2: A Review of the 2023 Colorado Off-Road Truck

The Chevy ZR2 badge has a long history, dating back to the 1990s when it was first introduced on the S-10 compact truck. The S-10 ZR2 featured a lifted suspension, wider track width, fender flares, Bilstein suspension, Eaton rear locker, and 31-inch all-terrain tires. When the ZR2 badge was revived on the Chevy Colorado in 2016, it stood out with its unique spool valve dampers. While not a direct competitor to the Ford F-150 Raptor, the Colorado ZR2 offered similar off-road capabilities in a smaller and lighter package. The ZR2 has evolved over the years, but for a period from 1994 to 2003, Chevy offered a true compact ZR2 truck designed for off-roading.

Sacramento County officials identified two of the three people who died in a car crash where 11 people were inside a sedan. Stockton police are addressing reckless off-road driving, which is causing safety concerns. California Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara said he will not take action against State Farm after the insurance company announced it was no longer accepting applications for new home insurance policies.
