Once upon a time, that would happen on Jalopnik.  Once upon a time.

Buy low on weight and power for a first bike. The sensations of riding a bike can be overwhelming to new riders, so don’t get your dream bike as a first bike.

I have only seen 2 of those IRL, and only 1 on the road. I did buy the Tamiya model and modified it to look like my FZR1000.

Yeah, I was thinking that the lines from the side looked a lot like the FZR1000 I rode for years. (My second favorite bike I ever owned, TBF.)

Meh, my (albeit small) NFT investments have gotten me a 3000% return. I did get in early, and the returns seem to be shrinking at this point. I am cashing out once I sell my last couple.

That sounds a lot like the first job I got after I left the Corps. A great owner, who was very tough but very fair. Appealing to a young Marine who couldn’t reenlist. And once you had proven yourself to him, he had your back. The only reason I left after nearly 10 years was because he sold his franchise back to…

As an auto tech, all these stories remind me of the best advice I give to anyone I know looking to get a car repaired.

Apparently, all but 15 are fascist.

Glad to see your concerns, since those who grab power rarely relinquish it voluntarily.

Yeah, if that was his argument, then you did right. I only maintain my certs for the company.

ASE certs are all well and good, but not meaning of much except for employers.

So, not “free”. When has any government operated exercise, in many ways, been free?

“an insane, horridly short sighted, idea”

Define “free”.

Yep. Go Godwin. Always the way to convince someone.

As an auto tech, this is good advice. But do make sure that the work in question has actually been done.

Having never purchased a new car, I (clearly) don’t know what new car warranties are these days. I only buy stuff with a bit of a track record in the real world and prefer to let someone else eat the biggest depreciation hit.

They should. People who keep their cars beyond the 3/36 period, and those who make their purchases on something other than impressing neighbors, want something that will be practical have an opinion, too.

In my experience, no manufacturer cares about anything beyond the warranty period.

Ah, and neither of us will ever know, did he actually learn anything?
