Chances are you didn’t get an invitation from Mr. Hefner and his scantily clad Playmates at the mansion. If you were like much of the U.S. population you probably spent New Year’s watching that stupid lighted ball in New York on television. We didn’t get our invite either so we headed out to the sand in Glamis, California. The tiny town is actually just east of the Imperial Sand Dunes where all the insanity is. Anything with wheels is fair game in the dunes but Jeeps and other off-road-worthy vehicles of all types can be found at the hot spots. Oldsmobile Hill is the daytime favorite, the Sand Drags along Gecko Road finish off the afternoon, and Competition Hill stays lit up well into the early morning. Here’s some of the more sick sand-blasting Jeeps we spotted in Glamis for New Year’s 2001.
