COTD!

They should be able to combine to form a Mega Smart Car or something.

And they all run...er...well two of them. I need to charge the oldest’s battery before it’ll run again.

They are!

They didn’t just sell off Buell, they took his naming rights, kicked him to the curb and basically treated him like dog shit on their shoe. Erik was their shot at a new demographic but they wouldn’t listen.

Mac guy here, setting up printers on Windows rarely takes longer than a couple of minutes.

Hipsters like cafe racers and old school euro styling, if they made something that competed with the Ducati Scrambler they might actually sell them to younger people.

I love how people forget that Gen X even exists. =/

You sound like a reasonable person. When he meets you on 8500 you should definitely follow up with “But I only have 7500.”

Ask and you shall receive:

In my experience it also only takes minutes to get a new printer working on a PC. You may want to ease off on the exaggeration . . . ?

I cannot recall the last time it took me more than a couple of minutes to get a printer working on a PC.

what about all the small businesses it would affect. say a plumber that works in that area?

I think it’s a very subconscious perception of beauty. I think the Lexus grille on their sportier cars looks very modern and sexy. On cars like the…

Tire companies don’t like to talk about it. Because of US Mile rules limiting us from using drag radials, we had to look elsewhere. We called multiple companies leading up to our record setting standing mile run for our C7. Just about every single manufacturer called us crazy bastards and hung up on us.

that’s the take I was looking for

It’s not about speed but what a FWD car can do, the BRZ and Si are roughly equal in specs plus or minus a few things here and there but are overall sport coupes that can be tracked. The fact that the FWD Si beat the RWD BRZ is vindication for FWD cars and what they can do.

I wrote about this a bit also when I drove a Peugeot 205 GTI. They had a reputation for snap-oversteer, but I think the real problem was that it was fast and something that even the most novice drivers could afford.
