They still make the tw200.  Not sure if you can yank the battery and still run it, although most modern dirt bikes are still no battery.  Not street legal though.  As soon as the enduro parts go on, so does the battery and button to start it.

I love these things.  Like a ridiculous amount.  But this has so many red flags, from the flat paint over dents to locks missing to zero interior shots.  I really want one of these and they are 20+ easy for a super clean/restored one but 15 is a lot to ask for what could very well be rusting apart or simply missing…

How about we just get a marginal, but usable speed if you hit your cap on your cell phone? The throttling is just insane. Speeds are barely faster then dial up in the 90s. Drop it to 3g or even edge, but keep it usable. 128kbps is, for the most part, totally unusable. Webpages, email systems, and applications used to…

Oh Baldur’s gate...I miss that game.  One significantly OP mage with triggered spells and a host of AOE murder. I had a party sure...but if my mage didn’t obliterate the battlefield in the first 3 seconds, the rest of the party wasn’t going to help much.  Kind of just had them along as cannon fodder to give the…

Oh I get it. I’ve argued many times on this website that buying a car is the worst buying experience most people will ever have in their life. No other purchase has the odds stacked so far against you. But people in the apple store are just as ignorant and confused as in any other store. And apple specifically…

lol.

And Chrysler’s bullshit is on another level of terrible. Mine has a “feature” of simply force muting my phone via bluetooth (I cant change this btw) so I never get any notifications for ANYTHING. I suppose this could be viewed as a safety feature but it just forces me to not use my phone connected to the truck and…

Yes and no. Of course it is clicky-baity because...well...where we are. But Apple carplay scored the worst of every test so it kinda makes sense to list it in the headlines, even if it is a bit misleading.

Couple hot takes here.

I owned a 90 legend LS for over 10 years. Every option possible in the car, including the aftermarket Nokia cell phone setup. I bought it from a dealership on Oahu and given the wiring mess that it had and the alarm siren that had be cut under the hood, I’m guessing it had been stolen at least once and lived a ROUGH…

Trucks too. Like the big HD ones, but it is still the base model with a lot of up optioned stuff to run the price up.  Finding a base model with no extra boxes ticked is like finding a unicorn...swimming in a costco filled with toilet paper (current reference that in no way will age badly).

This is nothing new.  I had to custom order my 2500 to get a tradesman without what dealerships consider the “standard” options.  One size fits most it would seem...or people impulse buy and are fine with a certain level of compromise.

Do they want to let me buyout my lease at 0%?  That would be nice.

My vehicles are polar opposites, both from a design, and a selected purchase perspective.

As a side note, I wish my heavy duty DIESEL pickup ran RPMs that low at 70...FFS.  I’m at 2k, not 1750, and a bit jealous.

At $1,995, Could This 1997 Ford Explorer XLT Have You Asking, Bronco Who?

Don’t forget the Acura Legend. Ticks almost all the same boxes. Indestructible, v6, manual or auto, ahead of it’s time for luxury stuff. Totally invisible on the road now unless you know what to look for. No RWD though.

I had a frontier and my bronco at the same time and I swear the bronco could do a full circle inside the turning radius of the Nissan and not hit it.

Wouldn’t that make the limb risers even more likely because you could basically use anything and they wouldnt get in the way of getting under the hood? Or maybe they are load bearing places to attach a rooftop tent extension or other looooooooong toof rack?

From lack of modern safety features? That is true.
