Yes! I rode one once and it was a truly odd bike. Many Kawis of that vintage had the “hinge frame” — my ex-BIL had a KZ1000 that was a Flexi-Flyer.

A friend’s dad was a motorman on the NYC subway system. He had a suicide on one of his runs, and it took over a year for him to get back in the cab again.

Neutral: Was this a new Disco, or an older one?

After someone was killed from ice coming off a vehicle, NH mandates clearing your car off. It’s a minimum $250 fine.

Agreed. It was just a bad idea to attempt to “photocopy” the formula to the US and hope it worked.

Tanner’s ego was too big to fit on-screen; I preferred Rutledge Wood. Even so it just didn’t gel the way the UK show did.

This is a “Oh hell nah” moment. 

It still looks like the trucks I was drawing when I was five.

Style points for using the Ship of Theseus in a Jalop comment! (The last info I read from the Navy is 10-15% of the USS Constitution is original.)

Neutral: I remember the reports on WCBS-AM as a kid in the 60s when they’d report alternate side of the street parking was suspended. I also remember my grandparents having to do the street shuffle; they solved it by getting rid of their car and renting from Hertz when they needed a car. It was right around 1964 as my…

I believe Pontiac only had Cosmos Purple for the first year (2004) of the Holden Monaro-based GTO.

Awesome! This was one I was going to post.

Farago’s comment is all I can think of now when I see one of them now.

I owned a ‘79 convertible that had some ‘80 engine parts (probably made during model switchover). It was a fun little car to drive around in the summer. In general watch that the heater core is not rusted out as it’s almost impossible to replace (I bypassed mine). Given the car came from CA, body rust (nor the heater…

I owned a DS before and would love a DS Break. I’ve also owned a Dauphine and they rust. Badly. Just FYI to anyone who buys one is to check the body structures carefully.

#1 - A 1978 Honda Accord LX that I bought new. It ate two engines in 50,000 miles due to the emissions system fouling the oil. The upside was Honda paid for the repairs. I have never owned a Honda car since.

I’m really interested in its road feel vs. the Cross Turismo. I also wonder whether I can fit my two dogs (80 and 70 pounds) in the car. It’s a lot of cash but if I could get at least 10 years out of it, the price doesn’t seem as bad (who am I kidding, it’s still a feck-ton of cash).

I almost bought one back when they were new; it was a fun bike to try out, and was very quick, but I decided I didn’t need that big a bike and ended up buying the dealer’s CX500 Turbo (yeah, another crazy bike). Although I rode a grey CBX, the white one is the better looking choice IMHO.

Volvo has a few models that can be ordered with a wool blend. The grey “tailored wool” in the XC90 is 30% wool and 70% recycled polyester. The 60-series vehicles have a similar blend called “City Weave”, which is a nice looking grey plaid. I’ve sat in an XC90 with it and it is nice; I’d certainly consider it as an…

I bought one new (and wish I never sold it), but it was very docile below 3500-4000rpm (a heavy bike with a fairly small displacement engine does that), but when you whacked the throttle open, it was like the Star Wars jump into hyperspace! It had a little boost graphic on the dash that went from the center out in…
