Clearly you're not a Ferrari mechanic looking for the next month's shop rent. Otherwise, this would all be music to your ears.

Years ago when I managed a bike shop, I had a guy pull up in a Corvette (guessing late 90's model) to take a look at a tandem I had on display. He said if I could fit it in the 'vette with the hatch closed he would take it. I fit it, he took it!

Not to mention the absurd increase in car ownership in China over the last 20 years - the same thing would happen if every other family in the U.S. suddenly decided to buy autogyros or something. Analogies were never a strength of mine.

But... it's a roof, not an umbrella. It just happens to look like an umbrella. Yes, you could use it as an umbrella, but that would be silly for the reason you mentioned.

I think of the cars as bonus material. Beyond Jerry's obsession with them, it's not about the cars. It's about Jerry's interactions with other comedians, and for the most part, I think he's an excellent interviewer, probably because he's a comedy nerd and knows how all these people tick. The Michael Richards…

I would guess you're right about Shanghai vs. L.A. air quality, but I really loved Shanghai's vibe or whatever you want to call it. Certainly never felt that way in L.A. We were there during National Day (which actually lasts a week), so maybe people were extra-happy and friendly due to the holiday, I dunno. We…

Based on my very limited experience there, Shanghai's air was much cleaner than Beijing. If it was as dirty as Beijing, you wouldn't be able to see Pudong from the Bund...

My wife and I were anchored right there (ship in center of pic) last fall. Two-week cruise for business... Shanghai was great. She wanted to move there immediately, but I was all like "What about the kids?!"

For a minute, I thought I had written this. I get a bit nutty with lights on in fog and rain as well. Another factor with fog that I find interesting is that it screws with your senses and will make you think you're driving slower than you actually are, causing you to speed up - cruise control or frequent speed…

Jason - I think your "Will it Baby" metric should include fitting a rear-facing car seat behind the driver.

Yes, if 55 was on the highway. If it was a side road, no way. The easiest example is the GSP (Garden State Parkway). Posted limit is 55. Most people do anywhere from 65 to 80 all day.

I got pulled over by a NJ state trooper for speeding. My Subaru wagon (88?) was filled to the headliner with all of my worldly possessions. I may have stretched the truth about being homeless (I was in between apartments, really!)... he gave me a warning for not using my seatbelt, which was a gift, since it carried…

Nice, thanks! I liked all the other answers but this one makes the most sense.

This turned out to be in Finland, by the way. I was 330 KM off, but I didn't even have a clue what language the signs were in. Just a lucky guess.

I'm hooked. Any guesses what this sign is referring to?

Yep, I know. My reply wasn't intended for him. Very confusing comment system...

I did a quick search and it looks like the SV650 is around $8,000 new. The bicycle he hit was at least $4,000.00. People that are serious about the sport and have the cash often spend much more.

Bret - My comment regarding MI's was intended for DleFrltzDle, not you. Sorry for the confusion. If you've ridden Roubaix than I am confident that you would spank me (on the climbs, that is), and I'm a bit younger than you.

The bicycle he was riding was likely more expensive than the motorcycle (I know it's a Duc and those can be expensive; certainly are to maintain). Titanium frame with a breakaway system for traveling (can't tell what brand but I'll guess $3,500), $1,200-$1,600 wheels, carbon fork... I have a feeling any of these guys…

Sometimes, if I'm really really good, I get pancakes. Savor those waffles for me.
