Not a car company exactly but Ducati has a branch that makes electronics components (actually it predates the motorcycles), and used to make actual consumer goods like radios. I occasionally encounter their capacitors at work.

My E39 528i. Had it for six years, and while I save money by working on it myself it’s cost me no more in parts or left me stranded any more times than any other used car I’ve owned. It’s currently sitting pretty at 274k miles, and while it’s definitely on the way out it’s got some life left in it.

I agree that it doesn’t fit the nameplate history but also at the same time how could they not use the Lightning name on an EV truck

We’re not profiting of anything posted on Oppo or Hyphen, so we have a stronger defense against property theft litigation.

In case anyone didn’t know, S&S builds the engines for Morgan Three-Wheelers. They’re no strangers to the V-Twin game.

in the back and in the front?

Okay so I did some digging and it turns out I originally posted it in October 2013. God that was so long ago

Oh geez, I forgot I’d made that gif. How long have you held onto that???

I love T.F. Green and fly out of there whenever possible. Everyone just goes to Logan or Bradley, so PVD is always nice and quiet and you just breeze through security.

And if optimizing safety for women means making cars less safe for men, are you ok with that?
