This is less about constricting drivers and more about allowing cars and pedestrians to co-exist without the unnecessary threat of danger they’re constantly facing.

It is pretty funny how the Corvette’s improved design language has led to these Italian exotics looking cheaper. The C7 looked a lot like the V12 FR Ferraris of its period, but instead of it being seen exclusively as a positive for the Corvette, it just made the Ferrari look uneventful.

A major issue I see is the push towards “light trucks”. This push is not from the consumer, originally, but from the government that had different rules for fuel economy and safety for light trucks and cars (and still do with fuel economy). Since the manufacturers found SUVs to be more profitable, they really went…

I mean, from a safety standpoint the people pushing #4 aren't wrong. Just depends what the metric is for "better". 

Absolutely. Looks great. Can I get it in PHEV?

The lying about your car is a big one, same for lying about “racing” your car and beating whatever other car you can think of that probably wasn’t actually racing. Not even going to get into the whole street racing aspect, just focusing on high school/college “car guys” bragging about beating a Porsche, Ferrari, Z, V8…

“Nice rims.”

Hard seats with adjustments. No suspension travel. Sloppy steering. No headroom if you’re over 3' 8". Feet catch on bumps.

I definitely want one of these.

Nice picks. I just got a (and can’t stop bragging about it) MV Agusta, too—2007 F4 1000 Senna. Although my other bike is just fine, a 2011 Suzuki GSX-R750, I’d absolutely love to have the bright yellow 1976 (7?) Honda 400-4 Supersport that my late friend owned many many years ago. I spent a week riding that Honda…

Yes and also a bonus that they’re leaning into personalization too.

“Slow” on two wheels is always a relative term.  Even the slowest bikes are on par with a sports car in terms of acceleration.  You are right about the XSR being the same bones as the MT-07, I just personally prefer the Universal Japanese Motorcycle look of the XSR and it seems like it would be a comfier riding…

Because The Rich need to constantly remind you that they’re rich.

I believe 2020 was the last year it was on sale.  Might be a CPO one out and about somewhere. 

At least give it a test drive.

Yeah. The INT650, especially, is a great beginner bike that one might never outgrow.

About 15 years ago, one of my siblings was hit while out running in broad daylight. Thankfully, it was a low-speed collision and the vehicle was a car not an SUV or truck. They went up onto the hood and managed to escape serious injury, but they were still pretty banged up. I shudder to think what would have happened…

When I was in high school, a friend had a Chevy S10, probably a 95 or 96. I am a tall woman at 6', and I remember that the hood of that truck was just below my hip level. The other day I walked through a parking lot and I kid you not, the hood of one of the trucks was at my shoulder level. If I got hit by the 96…
