I used to scoff at people who made such a big deal about the dealer experience. Like, I’m buying a car, a few hours and I’m out, and then I’ll see that dealer once or twice a year at most, what’s the big deal? I had pleasant enough experiences at my VW and Mazda dealers, nothing remarkable.

To be fair, so do people in Washington, D.C.

“Only.”

Yes— the coffeemaker story has always been unfairly lumped in with the fraud, waste, and abuse screwdriver-and-hammer scandals. The coffeemaker was to be used on all Air Force aircraft at the time— AWACS crews staring at screens for eight hours a flight need their joe— and the ability to not explode over crew and…

A-10 fans in 2019, this here is unfortunately the start and end of your argument: nothing that isn’t stealthy or jamming like mad is surviving within those rings (some of which you’ll note— like Kaliningrad— actually cover NATO territory, i.e. you’re not even taking off or landing from home airfields without facing a…

I agree, which is why I grabbed a used 981 this year versus a new 718. It’s my daily driver, it’s twenty years away from being a collector’s car, but part of the appeal was knowing I own something that I’ll either want to keep forever, or if I don’t, it’ll at least be worth something to the next generation of…

Another vote: take MSF, buy comfortable riding gear, buy used bike, buy small CC, buy modern (i.e. fuel injected, not carbed), don’t be afraid of high mileage on a bike, and high is surprisingly usually 10-20K miles when bikes can go for 100K. Beware the 250cc garage queen that’s 10 years old with only 1,000 miles—a…

I have it on good authority that Kelly Preston is, in fact real.

My 2002 ES was, and probably always will be, my favorite car.  And I drive a Cayman now!

Alas, my Cayman on 20" wheels with the X73 sport suspension (read: permanent) is plenty rough at times. There are stretches in DC and its environs I intentionally avoid simply because I’m terrified of the potholes.

Yeah, this story makes no sense, as Ducati has probably never done better than it has under the VAG regime of benign neglect. Broken sales records, excellent products, improved U.S. dealers, AND improved reliability.

This is one fact that non-riders— and many riders— never appreciated about the Busa: it makes a damn great sport touring bike.

I’m sorry, I will settle for nothing less than Glen Plaid tweed.

The first is classical music, for obvious reasons. Not only does it make you feel refined and wealthy, but you also get to pretend you host your own PBS show.

We’ll bring you more on HBO’s plans for a post-Game of Thrones world as we learn them.

“What are they, like cousins to good trucks or somethin’?”

... and I don’t.  It’s so wonderful we all have options!

BUT, if you want to DAILY a GT3, you’re going to want all that heavy focused crap like heated seats etc.

My options came down to three cars: a new Mazda3 Grand Touring hatchback, a new Miata RF Grand Touring, and a 2016 base 981 Cayman. I went with the Cayman ;-).
