I don’t think feminists are evil. I don’t think brown people or the lgbtq community or muslims are doing anything wrong. It’s fine. We’re all doing what we feel is best in life, right? Even neo- Nazis are doing that... what they feel is right (however misguided it may be). And rational people recognize that everyone…

Hugo Boss!

Apple has taken over the i-everything moniker, so a new vowel is needed. And of course it needs to capture the essence of what the product is all about. With that in mind, I humbly propose the name U-go.

Saab 9-2x Aero. Ok. Not quite German. But not your run-of-the-mill Subie either.

Everybody is wrong. LSD is a vehicle for expanding your mind.

I’m not operating a vehicle while intoxicated. I’m driving a cop car. Cop cars aren’t vehicles.

The maglev must fall into the same category as sailboats and cablecars, I would think.

Glider... not a vehicle?

Dangit. Now that nobody is worried about their car lasting, it would have been a perfect time to buy a bunch of high performance brake pads, wheels and tires, etc and set up arrive-and-drive track days for all the VW owners before they turn their cars in. Warped rotors? Shot suspensions? Slipping clutches? No problem.…

Even worse... it would result in Mike Pence becoming President. I truly want to give Trump credit for selecting Pence - I get the sense he’s the only reason that nobody will try to assassinate Trump.

Why do you say that? Every couple of months, I get a call from a guy who wants to set up a PPI. We set up a time and let his mechanic of choice take the car for a bit. Some will just crawl around outside, others will take the car away. We accommodate that. You have to if you want to move inventory quickly. There are…

But I’m about 80% certain that those are steam turbines and the natural gas is being used to produce the steam. That’s how nuke reactors work too... they don’t produce electricity, just heat, that’s used to boil water into steam. That’s not really viable in a car unless you want to carry all that water with you.

I remember going downhill in the gf’s Forrester one time. I realized I was going too fast for conditions (about 7mph under the limit), and I lifted slightly just to see if I could slow down, and Nope! Insta-slide on some black ice and we’re facing a steep drop-off. I remember her screaming as I was countersteering. I…

I envision an AirBnB-style app for auto-enthusiasts. Post up your car, post up the cars that interest you, have ratings for how people treated your cars, etc...

It’s because a dumbass can do a lot of damage to a bike with very little effort, or even mere inattention. A little lockup on the front brake at a stop sign, and the bike could fall. And that could easily be $1k+ in damage. To my knowledge, no Japanese manufacturer will allow you to test ride a bike before purchase. I…

Other ways of accomplishing the same thing. Become a regular on a forum and offer to inspect and test drive cars for other members looking to purchase sight-unseen. “No. I can’t afford this car... I’m driving it for a friend.” (I’ve actually only done this with motorcycles (got to ride an RE-20 this way... take that,…

The devil is in the details. These things spew exhaust straight into the atmosphere. You think rotaries and 2-strokes get hot? you ain’t seen nothin’ yet! Catalytic converters won’t work. Also, their combustion cycle is worse than a two-stroke. In a 2-stroke, you have a bunch of valve overlap, that’s what makes them…

They do. I sold a car that way. He had some bank that wasn’t very common in my neck of the woods. He drove from out of state, and I drove the car maybe 30 miles to their nearest branch to me. We met and he was satisfied that the car was as-described. He was pre-approved through the bank. We sat down in one of the…

I was selling a CBR1100XX about a year ago. A few things I did to ensure a clean transaction was to require “cash in hand” in exchange for a test ride. After you return, I’ll hand the envelope back and we can negotiate price. I figured, if I’m trusting you with the bike, you can trust me with the cash. I also stated…

How can a company make such amazing motorcycles and such boring cars. I really really tried to like the SX4. Tiny, cheap, AND, like a baby WRX... But but in reality, no excitement. A sport edition with suspension tweaks and a few more hp could have turned some heads.
