Yes! Just scored one of these off Criagslist for $95, basically new. As a longtime wearer of backpacks, I can vouch that this design is significantly better than the traditional straps routine. FYI: you can fit 21 beers in the 15 L model. In case you were wondering...

Oh man, this is gonna be my new alarm tone to wake up to. Beautiful.

Nice. Love that co-driver too! (0:47) ‘Take the white lines ‘round da bale, take the white line round da bale! Go one tirty out ovit’

I-94 westbound, North Dakota in winter. Wow. Not from the Midwest. I didn’t know the wind could blow the snow sideways for 300+ miles. Steering wheel turned about 10% to compensate and then BAM! Underpass! No wind! You’re swerving to the right instead of left now! Oh, there’s the wind again! Ah! Oh you wanna pass…

Don’t tell that to Tacoma! They would firmly beg to differ.

Dude, this is such a pet peeve of mine. I’m a mirror-er not a head checker. Buell mirrors (like many others) offered a great view of my shoulders. Like you said, the bar ends are better but prone to vibration + generally too small. I can’t believe it took this long for someone to figure this little - but important -…

“...skeptical of the car having only 148,000 miles” HA! That was me for about 20 years until I recently ‘graduated’ to a 90,000 mile car. Ironically, it’s a never ending maze of problems (mk5 GTI)

Oh boy! You’ve missed a whole lot. They’re all almost 400 HP hatchback monster’s with unbelievable suspension and mega-aerodynamics. It’s practically like night and day. The last couple years have been the best for a while (Ogier was a bit too dominant until recently...)

I have a WRC+ subscription but that’s really not necessary. Do you have a roku or whatever? = Red Bull TV, they have daily highlights as well as an event overview. For free, Red Bull is hard to beat. There’s always dirtfish.com as well.

“..5 more foot lubs” . . . . . nice. Permission to use that?

Rounded allen bolt? Oh it’s round on the outside too? (see mk3 vw thermostat stuff) Pound a 12 point socket that’s just smaller than the perimeter of the bolt on. Use ratchet accordingly. All those little teeth bite in to the bolt’s edges, actually giving you surprisingly good purchase. Amazing trick. No vice grips,…

Yeah! I was thinking a lil more NA V8 revvin out to 8ooo RPMs...

You my friend, are on the team with that correct answer.

On behalf of my non-enthusiast friend - Imagine she ‘dials in’ - she just bought a 2007 VW Rabbit with the 2.5 5 cylinder, 95,000 miles (in real life, not theoretically). No service records to speak of aside from oil change. Runs great. Turns great. Stops great. She doesn’t wanna bug me abut every maintenance sorta…

Oh man, I’ve driven through North Dakota 3 times now with the steering wheel turned about 10-15 degrees for hours on end, fighting against those sidewinds. I couldn’t imagine on a moto!! Sounds absolutely exhausting.

Yeah you aren’t kidding! Went there this Septmeberand holy hell! EVERYONE was there, even post-Labor Day. Was in a car, but was drooling at the idea of coming back with my moto for Going to the Sun. Ahhhh...

Oh man! I saw one of these on the streets near me a month ago, had no idea what it was. I called it the Euro-Disco-Bus-Thing. No idea how whacky these were

1991 Audi Quattro 20V. Basically, a pre-S4. Unbelievable in the snow, so many features WAY ahead of it’s time. 20 valve 5 cylinder revved to 7,200 RPMs. Lockable center diff, voltage, oil pressure, and oil temp dials. Auto climate control. Tasteful gauges.. Great styling. Not a single cup holder though...

Spot on bud. Lived in Boston for 10 years. Saw 2 accidents. Saw 15,320 extremely close calls. F’n pros! Reckless but they know exactly what they’re doing. Racecar drivers. They know exactly where their bumpers end and begin.
