Teslas probably crash for the same hoon related reasons Corvettes and 911s do.

Hell, you could drive that now. It’s just a Shala-Vette kit on a VW chassis.

Won’t help if they just tow it, but a good idea anyway.

Honda’s leather is garbage anyway. I wouldn’t option it if I was planning to keep it for a decade or whatever. Their cloth seats wear like iron.

LOL, it’s fine. Might not be the best for 2 up, but the OG GL500 only had 50. People are jaded with gaudy power numbers on new bikes

A Cobra replica or other old car  I might take a flyer on. You can strip one down in any 2 car garage, and it has aftermarket electrics anyway. Depends how long it had been sitting I guess.

I had the misfortune of having to try and sell these new. They were always going to be niche, but calling it “Silverwing” might have helped some. Honda really had some underappreciated gems in this era. This, the original Transalp, the CB1 and the NT650 were all absolutely fantastic bikes that ate flooring charges…

I had mine welded up by some midget/sprint car guys.  It’s not rocket science, but you’ll want to be able to weld.

I dd one for 15 years, in California. No different than a motorcycle convenience wise.

As someone who has shoved a 350/350 motor into a Lotus style chassis, 250/260 isn’t far off the sweet spot, although you don’t really need a bunch of low RPM torque. Assuming it was done right, you’d have a hard time building this for the same money. You’re going to change drivetrains like shoes anyway, but a solid…

I never appreciated it until I quit drinking, combined with finally having fridge water. If I’m walking somewhere I’m still using plastic because of weight tho. I don’t need water in the car. Why would you get thirsty just sitting and driving?

Some of those modern inflatable tents look drier,warmer and more spacious than this. OTOH, I lived in a VW (not even a Westie either), so this is a luxury comparatively.  NP, if you think it’s better than a tent.  If I was homeless tho, I’d snap this up in a minute, even if it’s about as secure as a cardboard box.

Look how much better that Bronco looks with fucking factory wheel wells. A Bronco with cut fenders is an instant boner killer. Wheels are perfect too.

And cars got maybe 10 MPG. You try feeding a 440 on $2.85 an hour.

Uh, no. I’m perfectly happy with $65 an ounce. From a store that’s open from 7AM to midnight 7 days a week. I do think that we should shitcan sin taxes in general though.

But my job involved driving! Truly the pizza boy paradox.

Man, all Jalopnik readers must have been rich as teens. We ran out of gas ALL the time, and were constantly pooling funds to buy a couple gallons at a time. Weren’t above some light siphoning either.

Never had a motorcycle? Anyway, you just always have a paper towel handy. Then you dip it in the washer fluid and throw it away.

We had a Rabbit P/U as a shop truck when I wrenched on bikes. The low load height was perfect, even if a Goldwing would make it wobble like a waterbed. It was plenty fast for around town and limited freeway use.

Bonus, you can check your gas with a stick when your gas gauge goes out for the 50th time like in my TR6.
