Their parking brakes?

The 1996 Ford Taurus SHO came with SARC suspension which featured, wait for it...

I already own it: a 2006 SV1000S. I’ve only had the opportunity to really open it up once or twice way east of the city, and it’s more than fast enough. Even around NYC, the torque alone can get you in trouble if you don’t respect it.

When will BMW drivers learn...

Once you see it....

How have I never seen this?

That’s always bummed me out a bit.

Jesus Christ...

I’d heard of this story a bunch of times, but my God... that was vicious.

Guilty. I’ll get to it soon, I swear...
