Near-1000 pound bikes are understandably intimidating for new riders.

Doubled in what one person was willing to pay is not the same as doubled in value.

As a previous owner of one of these shitboxes, I say “Run away! Run away!”

Maybe you should not post thoughts like that when people share experiences with you. 

This. And I am a mechanic. When I get an inspection job which pays like 0.5 hours but takes almost an hour to do right, I am certainly tempted to do the bare minimum (or less) to get back to the brake job that pays 2.5 hours but only take me 1.5 to complete.

Which is one of the reasons our used car inspections bill…

My example above was that standing next to one to promote his new movie was as egregious as asking him to wear a Cheeto’s shirt down the red carpet. I am half-certain that the author wrote this just to drive clicks to the story, because it’s controversial.

What is with the aggressively angry comments on jalopnik lately? The comments were always my favorite part of this site, but lately it’s been inundated with a bunch of pissy people just looking for a fight with the authors.  If you’re so upset with everything jalopnik publishes, then go somewhere else.  It’s free…

There’s a TrailBlazer that’s one year older with about 35,000 more miles, but it’s also about $3000 less and it isn’t pretending to be a Saab.

So it’s a badge-engineered Blazer from GM’s darkest days, over 100,000 miles, from a dead marque, with an enormous premium for a Corvette engine.

Mmm no, car chases exist in other places too, they just don’t make it the highlight of the evening news with aerial footage from privately owned helicopters the way we do. 

Yay! Cheap gas.

I don’t think this had anything to do with heart. He was buying $800 ventilators and trying to pass them for $50,000 units. So for a thousand units he was probably going to get some sort of future $50mil writeoff for an $800k investment plus all the good publicity. He is too smart for this not to be planned and…

Fisker has that covered with the Perpetual Motion Package.  

and then they stagnated their designs through current times.  My mother just got a 19 Frontier.  It looks exactly like my GFs 04 Maxima.  Steering wheel might as well be the same.  Unforgivable honestly.  

Nissan made their own bed, they were once on the same plane as Honda and Toyota in terms of quality and desirability.

I just got over the “fun” of owning a basic pickup.

Are we supposed to imagine we’re in the same state as the vehicle? This may be NP for California but in Carolina it’s a CP as I found a 2000 F150 with exactly the same equipment and mileage, including the manual, for $2800 OBO. In under five minutes and it was the first ad I clicked after setting the parameters. I had…

Hemp company? A sales company consisting entirely of professors from Vermont? Lilith Fair Roadies?

Jet Fuel does not have lead in it. Only piston-engined airplanes still use leaded avgas.

I had an ‘09 Fit, and you would be amazed at how much crap you can stuff in that car. It’s like a friggin void. Also was more fun to drive than my previous Civic (‘05 EX SE manual). I definitely have a soft spot for the Fit.
