Every modern sports car has limits that can't be reached on public roads, at least not safely or legally.

Ah, I gotcha. I misunderstood. You're right, the interior is pretty basic but that's the way it was supposed to be. The post-Fiat models are made with better quality materials inside, but it's still spartan.

Yes it is when you compare the 2-door and 4-door models side by side. However, 4-door is so much truck for $30k, it can be a family hauler, work truck, or toy all in one. I use mine for all three. It's off-road capabilities are definitely above "basic." I'd even venture to say there are very few vehicles more…

My office is in the IBZ. You're absolutely right, it's a great area for car-spotting. There's a shop off of Morgan avenue that modifies cars for movie sets, and they usually have something interesting parked outside. Off of Division Place there's another car lot with 3 old Jag coupes/coonvertibles (one is a v12!)…

As a New Yorker, I thoroughly enjoy this series of articles. Nice work, man.

I hear you, sorry if I came off like a dick. I was trying to be honest about my riding style, and yes I do ride above the limit - I'll consistently do 10-15 mph over, which means on the highway I ride around 70 mph. I keep up with the flow safely. I'm not the guy lane splitting when traffic is already moving. It's…

I ride a GSX-R600 - and I've been riding for long enough to have nearly 20k miles on the street, riding mostly sportbikes. It's not about how many years you ride for, because there are lots of guys who've been "riding for xx years" — taking your bike out 5 times a season doesn't equate to a years worth of experience.…

BLOOM WADDUP! I went to King's up in the 'Barre.

You're either exaggerating or extremely unlucky. The NYPD doesn't care. Most of the time they just watch. Source: I live in Queens and work in Manhattan, and I ride about 3000 miles per month commuting and fucking around.

Hey man, you recycled the same image from number three to number one. Don't worry, I won't say anything :)

I'd send a BMW HP4 or that electric bike Wes recently tested for RideApart.

Those rims are really nice.

I could probably do that in around 15 minutes if not less on my motorcycle... but just because you can do something, doesn't make it a good idea.

I'd rather have the E39 because manual, but the S65 AMG does almost everything better.

The interior is wonderfully adorned with carbon fiber, and the cockpit is all business. This is a serious car. I used to detail one regularly.

Beauty and the Beast

I love it when people pronounce it al-you-min-yum

He's right though. This sub-culture is fueling the bike-theft sub-culture. They go hand-in-hand.
