Former Ducati dealership service manager here, can confirm. All of it.
That era of 900SS (CR and SP) was Cagiva-era Old Ducati (pre TPG ownership) build quality and parts availability.

Very light, torquey midrange right where you used it the most, comparatively affordable, great sounding and totally rewarding when…

I’ve done restoration work for a long time now, and the two things that are required on any old car you intend to actually drive are: seat belts and a dual circuit master - preferably power, too. Because most drivers now have never driven a manual brake car, and don’t expect the greater pedal pressure requirement and…

You seriously think red state, rural Idaho is gonna do this anytime soon? Because they share a border with Oregon, the state this article is about.

By the totally unhinged far-right standards of the current US Republican Party? Of course not.

For federal road tax, sure. It’s that easy.

For state tax, it’s not. Because you’d pay tax twice on your out of state miles - once to Oregon, and then the out of state per gallon gas tax on top of that. If you never leave your home state, no problem. But if you live in, say, Philly - NJ is 10 minutes away, Delaware is…

Because you’ll be paying road tax to oregon for all the miles you drive out of state, too. In addition to the gas you buy - and other states’ gas tax you pay - out of state to drive those miles.

Just like fiat currency, gold is only as valuable as it is because people think so. About 93% of the world gold market exists because people believe gold is valuable, not because of any real world value for its’ actual use.

The industrial usage for gold (7.5% of world gold demand in 2019) is dwarfed by the

It’s the Economist and the WSJ, both are markedly right wing conservative publications. *Of course* they’re going to say that now, about this. It’s as predictable as the sunrise.

“The Federal government aims to keep inflation down to no more than two percent per year and has consistently fallen short”

As a former 1964 VW double cab owner and a current Bolt EV and dodge ram 2500 diesel owner - I would buy one of these in a heartbeat. The cabover styling is cool - although I wish it was more of an actual cabover - and the bed extension setup is also exactly on target. Hopefully the range and towing capability will be…

Winning bid: $10,500

X’er here - the C8 Corvette is the best ever and an amazing performance bargain. If I were in the market for a new 2 seat mid engine sports car, it would definitely be on the test drive list. But I’m not, because three cars, a truck and two motorcycles is enough, at least until we move out of the city and get enough…

Uh, OK.

Topless too. And she definitely has the hot mom/lot librarian thing going. Not surprised she’s making bank. And yeah, I think her kids are better off not being in Catholic school. for so many reasons. There’s plenty of time for judgemental bullshit and religious guilt later in life if someone wants to go do that, no…

Damn, a real life Vomit Comet!

More coverage of why these engines are failing this way so often recently:

Dude went way, waaaaaaaayyyyy beyond “kind of a tool”. And you know it.

Once Reagan ended the Fairness Doctrine, Limbaugh jumped right in and made a career out of vile homophobia, misogyny, stoking grievances, falsely portraying straight white christian men as victims, being intentionally loathsome to everyone he…

Oh, absolutely. And I would edit my original comment, if kinja would let me - I do have my tire rotations done at Costco, for exactly the reason you mention - it’s a big pain in the ass at home with no lift, no driveway and a one car garage, particularly for my 8 lug 3/4 ton pickup with steel rims. Costco also…

Yup. And often, dealership service departments aren’t better. The Honda dealer consistently overfilled my Fit Sport by more than a quart, three oil changes in a row. It was so predictable that I would remind the service writer when I dropped the car off, have the reminder printed on the repair order, tell them that I…

This is a glorious (and hilariously on point) article. Well done, sir.
