I used to own an RD500 - 2-stroke V4. Hilarious thing. Nimble as a 125 cc, but with a wailing wallop at 7000 rpm that was intoxicating. Only 88 BHP or so, but still a lot of drama. Very easy to drive. Electric system rotted to hell, as is the wont of 80's Yamahas.

Switching the fuel supply to the little can of nitromethane temporarily?

Ah yes. Valid point in everyday commuter traffic.

Yes, that’s what makes it so remarkable.

Nah. More crazy please.

I find it amusing how many people drive around looking through their steering wheel. You see their faces only from the nose up through the side window.

Greetings fellow human. I’m a Real People and I approve of how it titillates my photon receptors.

I sat as a passenger in a frontal where our driver and the driver of the other car had same names. First name and family name. To be fair, both weren’t uncommon names, but still.

Meanwhile, the rest of us are expected to roll around in tiny electric cars “for the planet”.

swerved hard to avoid colliding with the Camry, causing Taylor to injure his spine so severely that he eventually required multiple surgeries.

Yeah, I think it might have been the first time I actually got the actual flu, because I was seriously down for the count. I fully understand that people die from it. My system was almost in shock.

I never used to take flu shots because I didn’t know they existed. My mom told me that the sniffles was inevitable in the winter.

Which is nothing short of amazing.

I assume that a BMW I6 also needs transmission, accessories, wiring?

It seems that a lot of people assume that the LS is a heavy engine just because it has many cylinders and large displacement. It’s not - cylinders are holes, and the 2-valve single camshaft saves a lot of weight as well as lowers the center of gravity. And makes the engine comparably cheap too.

Ayep.

I’m more of the Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and Scorpions persuasion. So I hear electric guitars when I see a 3rd gen.

Rally Porsches is one of the greatest things in automotive history.

Very fine car, I’d love to own it. But I wouldn’t give over $20k for it.
