Commander Keen! Holy crap that brings back memories. I just went down the semi-literal rabbit hole and ended up at Jazz Jackrabbit. LOL!

Back in 2007, they could have insisted the Crown Vic replacement candidates had to be hybrid. Nope. And they went with a Japanese car made in Mexico. Green fail.

You could say that there are not huge differences; except it has a totally different drivetrain , body panels, aluminum tub, rear sub-frame, brakes, ABS system, HVAC and rear suspension. The Tesla also neglects to carry over the gas tank, emissions equipment and exhaust. If you were to try to convert an Elise to a…

Actually they share less than 7% of parts.

No full-team Gauntlet sessions then huh? Shame they couldn’t squeeze in a fourth set of controls for that. But at that price I’d kick the wizard to the curb.

Going downhill, I drive my LR4 in sport mode just so it stays in gears that give more engine braking than in regular mode. Less work for the brakes. I also like using the paddle shift in the twisties (it’s surprisingly agile) but even more so in stop-start traffic. I can leave it in 1st gear while crawling and not use…

Warren to Trump - Challenge Accepted. I’ll get a DNA test if you take an IQ test..

IMHO (given a wagon/estate style rearward roof line):

It’s a shame Mission Motorcycles went bankrupt. But with a $33K entry point for the R and up to $77k for the RS, the engineers themselves saw the writing on the wall and moved to more career-friendly jobs. Not one ever ended up in consumer hands, despite where they were when Leno tested one. (Skip to 6:40 for the road…

Was going to point out that the stuff stings like a SOB, but you summed it up nicely. Have a star..

The biggest obstacle I see on bikes smaller than 16" wheel size, is coaster brakes. You can’t set your pedals for starting without scooting it forward or lifting the back wheel, and just when you get going and the wobbles kick in, the natural reflex is to back-peddle to gain balance at which point the bike jerks to a…

I’m 100% certain cost is a factor. I bet they could replicate the UK recipe but it would shrink their profit margin.

In the UK, in the early 90's, my first car was a 1.3 liter Ford Escort four door. Most big motorbikes have bigger engines here now!

Actually I had that with a guy driving a Maserati in the snow yesterday. Tried to muscle into my lane with an air of superiority, but as I had no need to slow down, I simply kept level while watching them get deeper and deeper into slush, as well as getting sprayed with slush I was throwing up. He gave up.  

Never had any issues with my LR’s..

Having moved from the UK to the US, the mentality here is definitely “Bigger is better”, and often it seems to be to bolster the road rage mentality. “I’m bigger than you, so YOU give way”.

You’re doing it right. But there are Silverado’s out there whose bed has never seen dirt, let alone dirt attached to a bike.

What no love for the 3000GT MR? (Mitsubishi Racing).

Note that this is the Premium combo kit, so an extra-sweet deal.
