“When I let off the accelerator pedal in the Volvo, it didn’t really decelerate much at all, so there was no natural slowdown as I went to apply the brake into a turn, leading to a more dramatic change in speed when the brakes were applied and the turn executed.”

That scene was at night,so doubt the Hawkins Public Library was open at the time.

Kinda’ like hybrid bicycles or dual-sport motorcycles.

FTFY

In the early 2000s before Spotify I used to do this via analog output to my PC for DnB that you could only get on vinyl. The quality was pretty decent, but not audiophile quality most likely. If you’re not an audiophile, then you can do this for pretty cheap. I’m sure the software is better now that it’s 15 years…

Yeah, that is pretty fugly.

I’ll take an og X5M over either of these.

Has anyone actually seen the category breakdowns? I’m assuming that ATVs are included in this survey (as they often are with the MIC) and that the real increase is not actually with street motorcycles, but with dirtbikes and ATVs.

Well done, sir. Well done.

For people that have these as daily drivers and carry at least a child - what do you do when you need to carry luggage for the airport? I can barely fit the luggage we need for a week long trip in our existing E83 X3 and can’t imagine having such limited cargo space as what this X2 has. Hell, can you even buy enough…

I have same car (different color) and even though it’s getting a bit old, the mileage is still pretty low and I can’t figure out what to replace it with.

That’s why when I was shopping for a small SUV ~6 years ago and the CX-5 came out w/Manual the wife and I were excited. That is until we drove it and the salesman said, “you want leather too? Oh, you’re SOL.” So, we got a low mileage used E83 X3 that had manual, leather, etc. instead.

I pass a Z4M coupe regularly on my commute while on the moto. I always slow down, check it out and give the driver a nod. He’s probably getting a bit tired of that. :D

Any reason why you didn’t replace the bushes as well?

That car reminds me of the 540i MT wagon that was deemed a crack pipe at < $18k. 

Now, that’s a valid reason if the mpg difference were actually 20mpg. However, the Tuono V4 gets mid 30s, which is pretty damn close to the Supersport.

“The Tuono, though, wouldn’t make nearly so good a daily rider...”

I considered a CX-5 for a minute, but once I found out that the CX-5 wasn’t being sold with leather and a manual it was out of the question. Instead I got a low mileage E83 with all the options and couldn’t be happier.

“I wish Honda had put the gear driven cam, non-VTEC V4 into something better than the VFR - that is an absolute peach of an engine:”
