FortNine’s Ryan makes the absolute best motorcycle videos on the internet. He’s smart, funny, engaging, and I learn something new most every video. Plus the production quality and writing is better than sites that surely have ten times the budget.

I’m in the opposite boat: yesterday, I just sold my 2016 base Porsche Cayman for the exact price to the dime that I paid for it CPO 3 1/2 years ago (thank you, CarMax!).

Just watched it. That is truly an awful way to go, no good options other than perhaps running immediately off the track.

Missed one:

Adblocking software.

Hmmm.

I just can’t imagine mids being comfortable on a bike so low to the ground. Hello, torn IT bands.

My worst car failure is the one that feeds another unwanted Jalopnik slideshow, so I’ll keep it to myself. 

Ahhh, the driveways you can get away with in a state where it doesn’t rain.  Looks sharp!

But at 31 hp, it’ll be cheap to insure!

Ding-ding: without the Salton Sea, we might never have had Trevor.

Chinese shareholders.

“Jalopnik has no way to either confirm or deny the veracity of the rumors.”

The late model V8 was one of the most fun beach cars I ever drove.  It didn’t matter what it looked like from the driver seat rolling down PCH and bombing through Malibu Canyon. 

Yeah this is a really odd post.

Because rain is a thing.

You meant “impossible,” not interesting.

Have always felt a sumo is the perfect candidate for an electric motorcycle: nobody sane tours on a sumo so range is irrelevant— “How far to the nearest abandoned industrial park?”— and instant torque is very much a sumo thing.

What I truly want to point out is my alarm at just how little the rhetoric has changed. If you’re still making the same arguments to win people over, how far have you truly progressed?

I’m THISCLOSE to putting my 2016 Cayman on the market. By all measurements, I can sell the car for what I paid for it or even a little bit more than that, three years after I bought it CPO, leaving me out only the routine maintenance costs (dear sweet God, Porsche routine maintenance costs...).
