Yeah, without one, how else will it load the human bodies?

Atop all that sat a cleanly styled but somewhat anonymous five-door aluminum body.

Not really, no milk crate. 

I like the later-gen redesign more than this one, but I also never found the Panamera to be as off-putting as others do. After a good independent mechanic once-over to establish this guy isn’t just dumping ahead of unfinished work, I’d say this is nice price.

A list of cars most likely to be owned after fifteen years is literally the precise opposite of “initial” build quality, but, to my knowledge, J.D. Power doesn’t give out awards for Best Enduring Build Quality.

Sign up for the MSF course— a couple hundred bucks and a fun weekend riding around a parking lot will give you a quick idea if you could grow into a bike guy. At the very least, you’ll get your M license out of the deal, and can revisit riding later on.

In Maryland, for some reason you can’t wear earplugs while riding a motorcycle.

Biggest boon to the textbook industry.

The friendships we made along the way.

Imma gonna stop you there...

In one sense, this is a shame, as the over-the-top pretentiousness of the F&F series has always been ripe for parody.

.50 cal into the engine block works in a pinch.

The scent of smoke and BENGAY, red fur dusted with ash and pockmarked by burn-holes.

Simple profit opportunity: post-takeoff seat lottery.  Any first or business class seat that’s vacant is auctioned off, use the interactive media screen in the seat back to play if you’d like a chance to win the upgrade.  

One could make a pretty good case that Russia—a country that assassinates dissidents abroad, backs regimes that use chemical weapons against civilians, and intentionally bombs hospitals, is the bad actor here. One could also make the case that Russia needs to be punished for violating the treaty, and the U.S. is…

Segway *was* an American company. Their owner Ninebot is Chinese, and everything about this bike is going to be a Ninebot product imported straight here.

Years ago I test rode the regular Scout and really loved everything about it except for the non-existent rear suspension travel, I just knew I’d never be able to take that thing for long trips without praying for the sweet release. I can only imagine how much worse the Bobber is in comparison.

I really enjoyed the first film, but I have no desire for a sequel.  Why can’t we just have good movies be good movies, and move on?

Neutral: happy motorcyclist here who happens to *really like* e-motos for what they are. It’s a tangibly different experience than ICE riding, what with the instant torque, silent engine, and all the rest, that is very fun, and a large part of their appeal, i.e. if e-motos and ICE bikes rode exactly the same, there’d…
