My exercise in true motorcycle minimalism:

Samurai has light weight and lot of float from those tires

That race can be tough... in 1987, while it was called Paris-Dakar and actually taking place in Africa, Hubert Auriol breaks both ankles in the penultimate stage of the rally, while he had a 10 min lead overall and was almost assured to win the race for the 3rd time. He finished the stage riding the bike with both…

I guess it’s safer to get hit by lightning.

Was cool having you out to the sale. To guys like us in the car business, it’s what we look forward to every week. Not just checking out cars, but chatting with other dealers, talking business and hopefully stealing one away. Nice write up!

James Franco’s 4th brother there looks like he is about to be touched inappropriately by an old homeless Russian man.

Sounds like how to get good fuel economy in pretty much any turbo car.

If you drive on the highway at 60mph, mostly flat ground and no significant headwinds, you can do ok on them. As soon as those turbos have to spool up for any reason, fuel mileage goes down, quickly. Common causes of spooling turbos on the highway; uphills, headwinds, fast acceleration, quickly passing other vehicles,…

Sort of like Miata, $kaycog is always the answer...

Motorcycles are allowed in the Car Pool Lane here in California. I thought that was the case in all 50 states. Where do you live? Is it not allowed there?

The Not-At-Fault drivers were aware...of the traffic light and their right of way. :-P I’ll raise your take with an even hotter Take: drivers will never develop true situational awareness without adequate experience in traffic on two-wheeled conveyances.

We got him a $500 Craigslist gift card. He bought three Jeeps with it.

People outside of CA always gets the lulz talking about how we are required to use chains or have 4wd here... likely have never driven over Echo Summit down to Tahoe or over 88 to Kirkwood in a snowstorm. Think winding and narrow with death as a possible outcome if you somehow slid off (to be fair, there are…

Yugos, like Ladas, have that heater on the rear window ... to keep your hands warm while you’re pushing it. 

One day a blonde comes up to a man’s door and asks him if he has any odd jobs. The man says “I’ll give you $50 to paint the porch out back.” The blonde goes to work and after 30 minutes, she comes back, and tells the man she is done. “Wow, that was fast,” the man says. The blonde replies, “yes, I know, but that …

It’s super petty, and this man is clearly above it, but I would love for the case to be thrown out by the state supreme court and for him to keep the bulk of that $58k. Then, I’d like for him to install a bitchin’ dyno in his garage. Then, I’d like him to build some insane, 2,000 hp alcohol drag car, and proceed to…

The Turo selection in my city is pretty depressing. I could rent a 2016 Corvette for $340 a day (which is just obscene pricing), or a 2004 CLK, or a 2009 Yukon.

But the winner: a 2015 Mitsubishi Mirage for 83 GODDAMN DOLLARS A DAY.

Really, though? Was a knife necessary? Why didn’t he just Beat him?
