Yes, they get a spindly looking old thing with a cheap Chinese engine. They’re hipsters who care far more about appearance than anything else. This is the motorcycle equivalent of the $120,000 Grand Wagoneer.

It’s probably just an ultrawide. Normally one tries to keep body parts out of the corners (especially heads, makes them look very alien) due to the distortion, but apparently the photographer wanted that here. I don’t see what the big deal is.

....because a lot of people obvious don’t like them? Seriously, when every single slideshow formatted post is filled with rants like mine, you’d think they’d take the hint. You like them, fine...but I think you’re in the minority.

I came, I saw a slideshow, I left.

I agree...and I’d be tempted to paint the lower sections of the bumpers red to match.

And....that price! No effing way. These are dumb.

I like them, but....those front brake rotors! Those look very bad on an otherwise classic-look bike.

Screens (especially touchscreens), autopilot (any type), push button start, giant wheels, high beltlines, lack of CD players.

I really enjoyed it...a good mix of interesting stories and technical details.

If you don’t own it, do yourself a favor and pick up the Road & Track Guide to the 300ZX. It was a little supplement to the magazine with the road test and a lot of good background information and technical details.  There’s one on eBay now for $10. I still treasure mine.

Especially the late ones with the updated interior and Vortec engines. I prefer the Fords, but GMT400s have incredible lasting power. Definitely not without their flaws (brake lines, anyone?), they’re pretty easy to work on and it’s truly amazing how many you see still on the road.

A few of my favorites:

Hey, the rear end of the current Accord is nice.

Two of our three cars still use keys, and I still prefer it.

I think 90% of DT’s articles should be tagged with, “I SUCK AT ADULTING.”

If by “improved,” you mean, “all actual design and soul removed,” then yes.

I’ve done it a couple of times...needed gas and battery was dead, so I figure it was safer to do that than to need a jump next to a pump.

Holy shit, you wrote that giant paragraph but you’re still wrong. “Longtail’s” was a contraction for “Longtail is.” It wasn’t possesive.

OSB & paint.

Jaguar didn’t make V8s back then...the Panther DeVille used their I6 and V12.
