Killjoy comments should be suspended.

No, I’ve never stolen a bike.

I’ve been asked to make a slideshow

Welcome, fellow Nittany Lion. Looking forward to your contributions. Tamp the politics down and ramp the automotive insanity content up and it will be an awesome ride. It’s a great community!

I am glad it has AC - that aluminum skin looks like it would make the inside pretty hot.

If this catches on in the industry and that means I won’t drive a car manufactured after 2025, or I stick exclusively to budget niche cars going forward, fine. But I flatly refuse to pay an ongoing subscription on my…
