I’d say only slightly below this:

To reflect their German heritage, they should:

This, plus sport touring buyers are often looking for high tech (see FJR, BMW 1600, Honda ST) and however good it may have actually been, a pushrod engine based on a design from 1952 is not high tech.

they would have had a lot more success with a harley adjacent touring bike or a muscle cruiser, or, yes and ADV bike.

Oh neat, this could be a fun article-

Would absolutely love to read this, but no slideshows please

I would have to put “L Plates” on it and have a qualified driver with me

Am I missing something or does the article not really have anything to do with the crash? Yes L2 systems should be avoided for this exact reason, but in this particular case, AP is not involved at all and the driver had 40 seconds to react and not deliberately accelerate to well over 100mph. Autopilot caps you to…

Those are great for their stupidity. Its like what a 70s pimp thinks a 30s moviestar would drive.

For way less than the difference in price between this and a really nice US spec example, you could do a manual conversion. And probably have the seats redone in cloth too. And it would probably be a better car.

As someone who does a lot of welding that’s not going to work. At all. If we were talking about a body on frame vehicle, sure. That would be totally doable. But a Unibody?

That’s absolutely not going to happen. If anything it will become the craziest, most extreme fundamentalist enclave in the solar system.

Can we make Mars a religion free planet, please. That’s going to go a long fucking way in keeping everyone sane.

So no taste at all then ;)

I would say instead that we need to be realistic about what corporations will do with those regulations, and probably not let them dictate what those regulations look like.

1st. Gear: Publicly held companies have one mission, to generate returns for shareholders.

There are very few situations where 240v will kill you but you would have been fine if it was 120v.

...I find it impossible to care anymore about anything Hamilton says...

That average has to do with proper taxation on the richer, and some excessive taxation on the middle class, which I guess I’m part of (lower end, but still). Hopefully it will rise, since for the most part, people making millions a year don’t deserve even 20% of what they make (I know, 20% is way more than they…

After reading a lot of these stories I’m reminded why I stopped doing anything but the most minor repair myself.
