I’ve been riding motorcycles on the street for 25 years and have no desire to lane split for the reasons you mention. It’s not a thing where I live, so if I were to do it (were it to be made legal) even at the proper slow speed, car drivers would be surprised and possibly not allow me enough space. I also dread all…

It’s Darwinism, I guess. You shouldn’t need a law to tell you to make yourself more visible when riding at night.

Spoiler alert!

Glad you’re OK and thanks for sharing this as a reminder.

Chrysler offered these with a 2.5L turbo from the factory in 1989/90. How much would a proper one sell for?

Cats definitely judge, but they do it silently.

“Your honor, my client clearly called it in front of multiple witnesses.”

I’m pretty sure the folks at Workhorse would rather get high and play video games than build mail trucks anyway.

The analog clock in the dash is one of my favorite details on cars like this. What a shame.

It’s also strange that what’s more or less a car ad doesn’t even feature a current product.

Yes, what if we could use garbage for fuel?

I don’t disagree about stupidity, but one of the biggest roadblocks to change is money. As long as it’s cheaper in the short term to keep using oil, there will be little to no change. Yes, alternatives are a better long term value, but as long as the companies that can go big on various forms of energy are more…

I do all my charging at home absolutely free).

Yeah, but I’m sure they’ll reinvest all that profit into improvements to prevent this from happening again...right?

While “mid-tier” can be used negatively, I think brands like Cooper really hit a sweet spot in the market. They’re a definite step up from “cheap” tires, but also compare favorably to higher-priced brands.

Not necessarily. Cooper tires still have to be manufactured and distributed. Maybe some of the white collar jobs will be taken over by Goodyear employees, but it’s not like the factories are going to crank out less tires.

Let’s not pretend that the only folks who buy ADV bikes are the ones who actually rack up miles and venture off the beaten path. Even the riders who do leave town mostly stay on the pavement. A quick Google search says there are 153 BMW Motorcycle dealers in the US and Harley has over 700. So you’re right that the new…

To your point about the Panthers, the lack of large sedans today compared to “the good ol’ days” is why pickups are so popular with folks who don’t necessarily need the capability. If you want a RWD V8 “sedan” with a comfy interior that can haul the family, there aren’t many choices besides pricey German luxury, so…

Also, GM has been using “torque management” settings in the ECU for years to save drivetrain components. So even if the current trans/diff is right on the edge at that power level, they could protect it with programming, especially since SUV drivers are more concerned with smooth drivability than getting every last…

When I first saw the headline I thought “screw those dealers and their markup.” But it takes two to tango, so I guess if suckers are willing to pay the added fee for nothing, then more power to ‘em.
