I recall that one of the contractor’s cars had poor alignment and duly handled even worse than the others. But there were numerous things not right with these cars and they didn’t have but say 20-30K on the clock. Even the ones with the good suspension suffered from torque steer to the point they wanted to dart across…

Factory paint, fade provided by sun and lack of washing by the looks.

Ford Tempo. Most of you probably never drove one let alone heard of one. But they were the Jan Brady of Ford’s lineup. You either got an Escort (really basic car) or you got the family car, the Taurus. The Tempo filled a small niche.

Don’t forget the chem trails man, the chem trails...

I’ve been using (necklace type) BT noise canceling ear buds too. Find them to be an excellent choice. Lately they’ve been failing due to usage and wear so I’ve tried my apple airpods pro. They work nearly as well for straight up listening to music and/or gps directions from either my phone or my Zumo GPS unit. They…

As a current Audi S5 Coupe owner, I’d say get an S5 Convertible. Quattro, amazing heat from the seats and the HVAC and its an S. Don’t want to spend that much coin, go for the non S with the 2.0 and still get the gorgeous looking car.

All excellent points. Clarity on point #5, if unsure look it up in the owner’s manual or google.

Perception is their biggest problem:

I love the Paso’s. I wanted to buy a new then 93 907ie Paso but they stopped selling them in the US and they launched the Monster which I fell in love with and promptly bought.

Enjoy the Monster for a while, then graduate up. I’ll be honest, I am not at all a fan of the Chromo’s or the Darks for that matter. They all have to be red for me. Both my Monster and my Diavel, RED.

After seeing the Monster at the NY MC show in 93, I went and purchased a brand new one in Red in March of 94. Rode it for 12,600 miles before selling it 6 yrs after buying it. Loved that bike. If yours is in generally good shape you paid a fair price. The Corbin seat and the carbon cans are excellent upgrades. I…

Uh, back in the day it was:

While Red Bull and Scuderia Torro Rosso/Alpha Touri/etc... are the most blatant, there are and have been other teams that support the bigger team (Ferrari/Alfa Romeo; Mercedes/Williams). Look at who supplies engines to who and you’ll see a level of assistance but of course RB being RB, they’ve always stretched it to…

13yo vehicle with essentially zero miles is a timebomb of small and big things going wrong due to inactivity. With that mileage its seen 2-3 tanks of fuel at best, so that’s gotta be flushed out at least. I can imagine alot of other items will come up too.  Hard pass for me on this type of deal.

Assume his monetization of Youtube allows him to afford the insurance and the bikes at this point.

I hate these guys and I ride! All they’ve done is make that type of riding more acceptable for others. Now while I’m prone to riding fast/hard sometimes, I only ride within my skills and the surrounding conditions ie: no squid behavior or outright hooliganism. If our group rides (which are Ducati official sanctioned) g…

I’m in the hate camp for him too. Like you said, he’s caused accidents to not only other riders but even to motorists. Somehow he’s escaped alive and not otherwise permanently damaged. I’d argue while he has a lot of bravado and a good amount of skills, his judgement is suspect with the type of risky moves he makes…

In 1985 I worked at a body shop that had an exclusive with a local BMW dealer to fix their cars. Typically I got to drive tons of 3 series and 5 series of that era and the occasional 7 series and on rarer occasions, the 6. These cars drove beautifully and were built really well. This one is in really good shape and I…

1967 Alfa Romeo Giulia Super - 1.6L DOHC aluminum motor, with dual side draft weber carbs and a slick 5spd trans. Disc brakes, fantastic suspension, quite aerodynamic for its day. Seats 4-5 and has tons of style and awesome sounds plus fantastic to drive.

Starred for use of wigger which I haven’t heard in years.
