I’d venture to say 70% will be bought by affluent bro types and will see less than 3k miles per year. The other 30% will be repo’d in 1 to 2 years and will be pretty affordable since we’ll be in a recession by then. Not sure I’d want to buy one of those 30% though, they’ll probably be hammered on. Even now, I hardly…

It used to be that people understood that when they were towing, they couldn’t cruise comfortably at 75+ regardless of terrain. That’s why we have the towing wars. A guy in a dually thinks he should still be able to go up a decent hill with his 5th wheel toy hauler in the left lane passing semis

I’ve done one, I enjoyed it. It was a 5 day cruise out of Jacksonville, FL. 1 day was spent in Nassau where you got of the ship and 1 day was spent on Carnival’s private island, Half Moon Cay. On the days at sea, I enjoyed just hanging out on the upper decks and looking out over the vast expanse of water. The ship…

Well, a modern 10-speed automatic will get much better fuel economy in the city than a 4-speed automatic from the 90's. The 10-speed spends far less time outside of the ideal RPM range for best fuel economy.

It’s impressive how the vast majority give Andrew Craig a free pass in the whole fiasco. The IRL came about because Craig’s goal with CART was to go international and challenge F1. The cost in CART was becoming too much to bear except for Penske and Ganassi. CART in it’s prime was affordable enough that you had…

So, how much to ship from South Dakota to Columbus, OH? I’m, uhhh, asking for a friend, yeah that’s it, for a friend.

Ooof, that’s rough. I stuck it out with my Transit since the only alternative was a Sprinter and they don’t have the towing capacity I wanted. I’m an avid dirtbiker and mountain biker, so I’m doing a mild build for solo overnight trips, but I still want to pull a decent sized camper when the wife and dogs come with me…

Shoot, I’d give them my money for the Hybrid Maverik, but I went down the custom order road with my Transit last year and I’m not signing up for that anytime soon.   Took 8 months to the day from order to delivery.

One of the most enjoyable streebikes I’ve ever ridden was an older Triumph Scrambler (late 2000's model). More than enough motor to get illegal, but 100% enjoyable riding sanely in city traffic too. Big top end power is intoxicating, but miserable if you actually ride it anywhere in stop and go traffic as a commuter.

I decided long ago that any of my 2-stroke equipment will get the expensive ethanol free pre-mixed gas in the can from the hardware/lawn and garden store. I don’t even burn 2 gallons of the stuff a year and I can put the equipment in the shed for a couple months over winter without issue. That’s worth the extra…

Yeah, the Zero’s 41mm forks with a weight of 289 pounds is not an off-road bike, that’s a gravel road dual sport.  I have 3 dirtbikes, a Sherco 300SEF, and a pair of Huskys, a TE250 and FX450.  I’ll get an e-dirtbike when a real e-dirtbike is available.  The Stark Varg is interesting.

She’s dead set against street bikes. And she’s not a fan of me going on a vacation without her lol

I totally get what you’re saying about traveling solo. One of my “dream trips” would be to hop on a motorcycle and go explore the Gulf Coast, especially the bayous in Louisiana. Just hang out for a week chatting with locals and finding hole-in-the wall restaurants to eat like a king for the week!  My wife isn’t a big…

I never flew alone or stayed in a hotel alone until I was out of college and had to travel for work. I get that kids from divorced parents who live in different states may have flown alone or young adults trying to meet friends/family at a destination for a vacation, but who stays in a hotel alone until they have to…

I’ve seen articles where Antonov says it would only take $300-400 million to get the 2nd airframe airworthy. Structurally it’s complete, just lacks the engines and avionics.  Bezos should step up to the plate

Relative to the human losses and what else is being destroyed, this is minor, but as somewhat of an aviation buff, it does sadden me. I did have the pleasure of seeing it in flight 1 time. It was close to 20 years ago, but I just happened to be outside as it was on its decent into Rickenbacker Airport on the outskirts…

Not that we had a GMC motorhome, but my family’s ‘77 Winnebago had a two person passenger seat.  Slightly snug with my 5'9 mother and my 6'2 teenage self, but doable.  Certainly no problem for a toddler to sit with a parent. 

I love it so far. It’s a T-250 148" wheel base medium roof cargo van. Got the EcoBoost, AWD, and towing package with brake controller. I ride/race dirtbikes, so it will be my motovan. Being a cargo without any sound insulation, it’s certainly not as quiet as a passenger vehicle, but it’s not horrible and it rides…

Yeah, it sounds like a medieval torture method!

I can see that depending on climate, but I’m in Ohio and know a few skilled trades people who have AWD Transits on order. A friend runs a modest sized commercial HVAC company (20 or so employees) and all he’ll buy now are AWD Transits
