I love me some electroforged Chicago Schwinns. I have two in my stable, one that I completely disassembled, stripped, painted and rebuilt, and one that I’ve used as a cargo/trailer-towing bike and I’ll probably rebuild into some kind of hybrid if I can figure out how to make the frame play nicely with modern wheels and…

I grew up riding in the way back of my mom’s Caprice Estate and my kids now often ride in the way back of my ‘94 Roadmaster, so I’m super biased for rear-facing. It does isolate those in the way back more, but there’s pros and cons to that.

One significant consideration is that in vans and large SUV’s, you’re usually…

Crap, how did you get this picture of me?

I’m a big fan of the Timex Weekender Chronograph - that and the regular Weekender are my usual watches since they’re classic and reliable. That said, I paid like $30 for an Amazon open box deal on that exact same watch only with a nylon band. I always figured Huckberry was overpriced, and now I know.

That front wing:

Never change.

The attic vent exhaust is a nice touch.

I was hoping with the 2-person teams that they would have one driver and one passenger throwing his weight around a la sidecar racing. But that would be perhaps a bit too irresponsible.

Probably because of the fiberglass bodies on ‘Vettes. Same thing that gives us the “Plastic Fantastic” nickname.

So I had some weird and vivid dreams last night, one involving a Chevy Lumina showing up on NPoCP.

Everything I know is a lie. Next they’ll be saying that the red doesn’t give a HP increase.

Vanamino?

I mean, I absolutely endorse this, but if I’m spending $25k for the car, I don’t have any money left for an engine (and probably a more robust transmission to go with it), so CP.

I just showed this to my wife and said that I was thinking of upgrading my Roadie. She just rolled her eyes. She humors me with my obsession with my car (and, I think, appreciates it as a roadtrip vehicle), but doesn’t understand it.

The only major issue I had with adjusting was that when braking with the right hand and signalling with the left, it’s harder to keep straight when braking hard. Ultimately this is only an issue because you’re braking with the much more effective wheel.

I actually can’t tell if you’re joking or not.

I imagine that there’d be an adjustment period that wouldn’t be too bad. What I wonder about is if it feels better to keep your dominant hand (assuming you’re right-handed) on the steering wheel. It seems like a slightly better situation to me.

Reluctant CP on this. I have one and I love it, but I feel like this is priced a bit high for what you’re getting (I paid nowhere near that for mine with, IIRC, about 140k on the clock).

Damn near inevitable if you’re anywhere in rust territory.

You have captured my emotional state perfectly.
