Hauling ass southbound and on my northern trip dropped off significantly. Winds in Chicago were 25-30mph coming off the lake so it may not be the most accurate, but let a man brag! Generally I keep a 18-20 mph pace, but Strava has my max usually in upper 30s/low 40s for a flat stretch toward Jackson Park.
Because chicks dig the road rash scars. That said, on my bicycle I'll max out around 43mph on a flat road with a tailwind, but generally keep it in the 20-25mph range for normal rides which is enough to mess me up, but nothing like losing it on a motorcycle going 45-50mph.
I remember very fondly singing this in 2nd grade when Batman and Robin came out. I always assumed this started from the Animated Series episode “Christmas with The Joker”, since Mark Hammil sings it.
One of my professors from college reports on crime for the Washington Post. He live tweeted the finale after binge watching the whole series because the first episode hooked him. His write up on how bad the last episode played out was better than any lecture he ever gave...
I think that's why Pittsburgh was chosen. It's not exactly the easiest city to navigate on your own, so if the system is able to learn road conditions and compile data like Teslas Auto Pilot then it's great. You get a decent sized city where ride sharing is popular and the terrain is varied from urban downtown with…
First Gear-
Id gladly buy an old Silverado and leave it parked expect when I need it. The issue is, I don't want to register, insure, maintain, and deal with a vehicle I use a few times a month. I'd rather compromise, instead of having a crossover and putting the 3rd row down for cargo I'd love a bed. I would definitely be the…
Honda Element. Not sure how much they are in NYC, but I found plenty for sale in the VA Beach, Eastern NC Craigslist for about $5k with well under 150k miles. I'm sure an AWD version can handle just about any adventure a city dweller may ask for and have minimal repair costs.
If he can go used, my mom has a 2011 SRX, it has sensors and no camera/screens. Same for my dads Sierra. It's a matter of looking around, sounds like he needs to find a car he likes that is quiet and then upgrade it at an aftermarket accessory shop.
He wants remote start on the key, but doesn't want push to start. This guy wants options contradictory to the current system of option bundling.
If he doesn’t mind leather, the new Outback interiors are nicer than many mid 00's MB and Audis in my opinion, if you've chosen the higher trim levels.
It doesn’t work for me, because my Batman is a utilitarian. He would kill the Joker if that one life meant the safety of citizens. He wouldn’t just commit murder, but he’d devise a plan that ensured the Joker didn’t walk away, sort of like with Ra’s in Batman Begins. I don't dislike Ledgers portrayal, but I prefer TAS…
You’re absolutely correct on the lockout being the part we should be questioning. I hate the old Ford and VW way of pushing the shift knob down. My FR-S was perfect, reverse was pull up on ring then left and up.
Sometimes road tests require getting up to speeds. I had a guy bring his CTS-V in once, said he heard a rattle only above 75mph. Guess what, we had to take it out on a back road near the shop to do a few pulls to try and duplicate his concern.
Also, most people in the mid 20's-30's will buy a BMW/Audi/MB for the same money they’d drop on a decently optioned pony car. Cars are status symbols, and the pony cars don’t brag to your coworkers that you dropped $40k on your vehicle like the midsize luxury sedans.
If Jalopnik can help fund me, I'm totally down to run for the VA State legislature and then in a few years move up to the US House of Representatives. We are definitely on to something...
Have you ever watched an episode of Cops? You can get a whole lot more for $10 down in Mississippi...
Fun fact, my uncle is a biomechanical engineering professor at a big-time engineering university. He’s also a current consultant for Hyundai/Kia, formerly with Holden and Boeing on restraint systems. He single handedly talked me out of being an engineering student while I was in high school. I applied to a pretty…
I just want him to play in the game against the Colts when I get out there. I bought his jersey at the Steelers home opener a few years ago when he was “retired”, best $25 I ever spent in Pittsburgh...
Would I have wanted more power in my FR-S? Yes. Did it need it? No. 200 hp in sub 3000lbs is perfectly acceptable for nice twisty roads, especially keeping it in 2nd or 3rd gear with traction control off...
