will begin selling just its vehicle chassis for all of those who think they could build something better

No worries. I was originally going to include a picture, but... what the hell.

I’m not gonna take science fiction advice from some poster-maker who doesn’t know the difference between ‘discreet’ and ‘discrete’.

It’s tacky, especially in a high-end super saloon

There is no key or fob or starter.

The true miracle is that a 1970s Subaru hasn’t been reduced to iron oxide powder. My aunt and uncle were fans of the brand: their cars ran well but quickly started to experience undesirable weight loss.

Agreed. I believe that is the drivetrain that was in my friend’s Celica GT-S way back when. I think it was an ‘85 but could be wrong.

Of course you want it! How can anyone be expected to turn down a car that has “Flow-through ventilation”? We’re only human.

You don’t buy a bike for its ability to commute

Thanks! I really do like how it looks and handles. It won’t set any speed records but that’s not the point. :-) Once I get the brackets and the removable hard bags installed, it will be pretty versatile. Was yours like this?

I always liked the Yamaha FJ1100s/1200s for those reasons. They were intended to be the top of the heap but then Kawasaki brought out the ‘84 Ninja 900. After that the FJs were viewed as sport-tourers, which is a nice niche IMO.

All of this just reinforces to me that a switch to electric propulsion will not be the end of days for enthusiasts.
