God, I’d buy one of those Freestyle supercabs faster than you can read this sentence.  If only, if only...

99.9% of the time, Torch’s ravings over automotive quirk feature finds make me question his sanity.

I’m sorry, it looks like it was an assault on your IT bands.

The used market is insane.

Looks like they Safari’ed an Outback. 

Mentioned elsewhere, but the very first step in teaching someone how to drive stick is best this:

so videos like this can help narrow down your choices before you go looking for a dealership demo day.

... which is a good thing.  Love the Ridgeline, such a pleasant truck.

I don’t want four doors, I *want* the longer bed, but it’s criminally stupid to lose the jump seats. You need SOMEWHERE to stow groceries out of the rain, and having at least some space behind the front seats— ideally accessible by suicide doors— makes just too much sense.

I don’t know who shouldn’t have a license, but I know some people who shouldn’t own a website.

And that’s my point.  There’s no reason for any OEM to give us “adequate” in the 21st century.  It’s a deliberately bad choice, for “reasons.”

Counterpoint: This is what YOU talk about when YOU talk about ‘underpowered.’

Wait to you appreciate how there’s a market for this author’s bloviation!

That’s the thing that stuns me-- how does the Challenger not come with stock heated grips?  I understand mid- and small- bikes leaving them off at a price point (although in 2021, not really), but zero excuse for a touring cruiser not to include them factory standard.

Old reputation, outdated. Ducatis are as reliable as any bike today, they’ve finally got a halfway-decent dealer/shop network in the U.S., and cost to repair isn’t any worse than other high-end motorcycles. Older bikes with Desmo valves are still finicky to check and adjust— read: do it often and pay $ for it— but

Nah, I like a little bit of asymmetry in my design, it adds character.

The Renegade hasn’t changed much in the intervening years

I’d expect the manual version would swap that for an actual shifter.

I’m not worried about Honda’s patience with the healing process, but *Marquez’s* patience with it.
