Agreed. The single biggest piece of knowledge I gained from every single moto rider during my year of research leading up to my first purchase was this: you WILL drop your bike at some point. Guaranteed. Why this article doesn’t take that into account is strange, It’s a huge factor. I really wanted to buy used, but my…

How the fuck has Doug never seen a floor-mounted bright switch before? AND he worked for Jalopnik? I don’t understand.

Nope, he’s got the theme from “Charles in Charge” cranking.

Owners of “recumbents” and owners of “strange bikes” aren’t the same. Even cyclists don’t like the majority of recumbent riders.

I’ve literally been on the highway at night doing 75 over a long crest or around an easy curve and seen these fuckers ahead of me...my brain switches into panic mode for about 2.1 seconds until I finally realize what I’m looking at. I don’t understand how they can legally pass a safety inspection with such a dangerous…

The first-gen SHO looked better than the red piece of garbage in this story. My neighbor’s twenty-something year old son had one identical to the example above when I was a kid...he let me sit shotgun while he wrung its guts out. Holy balls that car was fast....and good thing it had inflatable seat bolsters to keep me…

I love this website, but also hate it for the very same reason. I’ve driven a Century, and immediately following the drive it became my next dream car. It’s so fucking good at everything, and insanely comfortable. And it’s affordable! But after this article, I’m sure prices will suffer the “Jalop effect.” Thanks…

Yup, I was young and fit...and every time I went to a local friend’s family BBQ they always told me the same thing, and stuffed me silly. Then sent me home with several plates more of food. Good times!

Ha! Maybe it’s a good thing I don’t live near you then, I can’t afford all the extra weight as I’m nearing middle age :) I appreciate the invite though!

I was fortunate to be stationed on Guam...I lived there for 5 awesome years, and every time I came back to the states, the usual question was “Guam? What the hell is that? It’s a place? Where the hell is that?” Nevermind that it had already been a part of two wars involving Americans, I guess most people forget their…

Thanks so much for the reference! Time to head to the market for some supplies :) It will never be as good as a real Chamorro BBQ, but it’s better than nothing. Love to you and your family!

Pepto?? We’ve got betel nut!

Man that would rock! Sadly I’m on the east coast now. When I lived on Guam I scored a local cookbook that showed me how to make everything from kelaguen to short ribs to achote rice, and the mother of all sauces, FINADENE. It’s since been lost. Damnit my mouth is watering now at the thought. Any recipes I would gladly…

Far from it. There’s way more to the “rock” than just the military, and it’s definitely more built up around “hotel row” in Tamuning these days. Also, Guam is to Japan what Hawaii is to the US...tons and tons of tourists.

Can you send over some of that Kelaguen? I lived on Guam for five years and loved every minute...miss that beautiful place

All the people who are surprised and upset that their Model 3 isn’t going to be $35k with options are the same people who were surprised and upset that Michael Phelps didn’t race a real shark.

YES. Someone get this person a design position stat.

David, what’s your take on using an external magnet on your oil filter. Ever tried it? I just got a strong neodymium type fitted to mine and will be analyzing it at next oil change.

I’m not entirely sure why everyone keeps going on about Tempos, Corsicas, and ninth-generation Galants. Their names have been tossed about so frequently that they have essentially become the new Camrys of meh. To quote your second and third sentences above, Mr. Torchinsky:
