Next installement, the Mini Trac from Austalia

I disagree, but only slightly. I think the 914 needs the Yamaha Ford SHO engine. That would make that skateboard a fun little performer. (In fact, I was looking into that back in the mid 90's. Never got very far with my plans though.)

Proportion is everything.

I tour on an FJ-09, so similar as far as being a fairly tall "standard" with tight geometry. I'm really curious to ride an electric like this one, and how fun to be able to switch your bars and pegs to the full Akira at the touch of a button! I think I'm in love.

Reminds me of the days when I was heavily into recreational hallucinogenics. My best friend was a beetle and I slept in an orbital banana.

i don’t even mind the time difference. i’m just jealous of that distance. imagine finally getting to put 25 trillion miles between you and all of east texas

and what’s the deal with umber?  it’s either “raw” or “burnt,” is it impossible to cook it correctly? 

Counterpoint: the new bike is significantly better in every. single. performance metric and will leave the classic in the dust on any road you care to name.

Those NYPD officers could have de-escalated simply by backing up and taking a different route.  There was absolutely no reason for them to plow through the crowd, especially the second car that drove into the situation.

Osama bin Laden won that war he started.

I don’t think turning around and GOING BACK TO THE SCENE OF AN ANGRY MOB ATTACKING YOU supports your point.  Driver has lost any claim of self-defense.

Ah, yes, because if there’s one thing we’ve all learned over the last few weeks, it’s that the cops can be trusted to do the right thing.

Leasing a Bolt currently, agree - it’s a great value and easily within the “new” price limit after incentives. But yeah the thing about 12 hour drives is what makes it a non-starter. Yes it has fast charging as an option but still less than ideal if you’re doing regular long-range trips. Unfortunately Tesla is…

I have done it in a manual. Not bad. Quite comfy. The seats do not cause fatigue. 

Taycan option list:

Agreed, the flat grill is better looking. There are better ways to put a big engine in a Pacer without messing up the lines of the grill

Just staring in disbelief, watching the latest Trump Covid-19 press briefing.

Speaking of cars with great looking faces...

Just 2 old people reminiscing about their times working the prison camps

Kudos to this trooper, but his actions make me immediately wonder why cops don’t perform CPR on people they shoot?
