And there’s some trim missing above the radio, which reads “CODE” on its screen, indicating that some sort of anti-theft system has been triggered.

You’ll probably want to print this out and take it with you, so here’s a link to the full size version.

I think DudeRudy’s point was that this is a five-speed car but the knob (heh) shows six.

We actually used angle iron from bed frames for the go-kart frames. With good welds they were quite strong. My brother and I weighed less back then and the karts had 5hp engines, so the frames weren’t under any great stress.

Yes, please.

Funny story.

Yep. I had one with an angle-iron frame and an engine/transmission from a lawn mower. It was not fast but it was something I could drive.

When my dad was a kid, there was a guy in town who built a go-kart using two chainsaw engines. Not the little ones with the 16" bars - the big bastards. And apparently a solid rear axle, which is both vaguely and specifically terrifying.

Fair enough - I wasn’t being snarky or anything. Here’s what it looks like right now in Firefox:

Right, that’s got it. Thanks!

Touché!

the date says it published Monday morning, and yet it has no comments.

Before installing the battery and trying to crank the engine over, I filled all the AMC 360 V8 engine’s bores with automatic transmission fluid

One rides a motorcycle. One does not “drive” a motorcycle any more than one sits in the saddle and “drives” a horse.

Regarding the Panigale V4 picture: dragging a knee? Yawn. I’m gonna drag an elbow.

Thank you!

LiveWire owners had been able to charge their bikes through standard wall outlets at their homes, a process that takes about 10 hours. Direct-current charging stations at Harley dealerships can reload the bike’s battery in about an hour.

Though my throttle hand was a little sore, I made the 225-mile ride without issue.

My family had a Renault Alliance when I was a yute. It was an unpleasant little car. It had a 4-speed but was slow, and the fuel injection made steady low-speed driving (like in a parking lot) impossible. Ugh.
