Congrats Mr Bikertool1 on your COTD. For your award you get a nice wheat pale beer from the wonderful folks over at Anchor Brewing. Anchor Brewing's Summer Beer is a slightly bitter, nice refreshed light wheat beer that is reminiscent of Anchor Steam. It's tasty and is great for a hot summer day.

Congratulations, Mr. bikertool1, on COTD today! My award to you is not a Ford van, but a VW van, which this lovely lady will bring to you in a few days.

I can't say I really like the way any of them sound. They're all sputtering, coughing, sickly, and hollow: pretty much emblematic of all Ferraris.

CinCGC is one of the best short serieses in recent memory. Look no further than the episodes where Jerry eat breakfast with Larry David and where Jerry and Michael Richards go get coffee for proof.

Yes, really. The Mustang is going global, and European traffic law requires rear fog lights, which I applaud, because it can be hard to see the car in front of you while driving in inclement weather due to the mist spray.

I almost had an accident on an Interstate because it was snowing heavily and when I wanted to pass…

I'd buy that building. It's been pre-disastered. What are the odds of another plane hitting it? They're infinitesimal!

Try having 3 of these bomb shelters. I went with a 2002 Sequoia for $9k and haven't looked back. (I've had minivans. I hate minivans, but for those that like them, the new Odyssey is a really sweet ride.)

None of them work if you have more than 2 small children, which now require nuclear-bomb-resistant assisted seating until like age 8.

I guess that the Landau bar has become customary in identifying a car as a hearse...and it makes the E-Type hearse from Harold and Maude even more badass.

I'm pretty sure that's not a first-gen SV. The frame is not round tube, but square. It's also not brush-finished tubing, but painted/anodized. This SV also appears to have a GSX-R fork up front, and an aftermarket headlight - both incredibly common mods for the SV crowd. I own a 3rd-gen SV.

That motorcycle isn't a Ducati. It was an SV650 which can be found all day for $3,000 used. So yes, I would wager a fair amount that the road bike was worth more. I know my road bike is worth more than an SV650.

Definitely an SV 650. I concur. First gen SV, with a rider in full, full gear. I'm guessing it's a person who's doing a lot of things right, but is a new, learning biker. One thing they give as instruction when people are starting is "don't brake while turning", which is safer in some ways, except THIS…

"Roads meant for machines?" The roads were there long before the machines were there. Get your car the hell off the road; it was designed for my horse and wagon.

In what universe is the person who gets rear-ended ever at fault for an accident? The guy on the motorcycle had an entire lane to pass them in ON A MOTORCYCLE, and should well have seen them there if he was paying attention. It's not like he was driving a big rig with no visibility and no maneuverability. He just flat…

Typical entitled douchebag you are. Go fuck yourself.

not a duc, and the cheapest new model Ducati would be somewhere in the $9000 range, so probably not less than the road bike. Doesn't take away from the fact that the guy on the Suzuki is to blame for this accident, and likely owes the cyclist more than an apology.

Cyclist was riding on the edge of the road. Motorbike lunkhead target fixated right into the back of him. The admittedly properly attired operator of the motorbike needs to thank the cyclist for saving him from a potentially worse crash.
