I believe that the bike was an onerous thing prone to calamity, but all the claims of “superbike performance” that people throw around are misgiving.

I might get flack for this, and I do understand that children are born fundamentally different, but this is one thing that worked for us.

Methinks you exaggerate a little. The Mach IV had 74 hp for about 300 kg with driver. My 2000 CBR929 had 152 hp for slightly less weight.

I love fine old cars, but there is one thing I don’t understand:

Lots and lots of delicious, gratuitous engineering!

I bet the reason is actually “People don’t want offroad bikes. They want SUV bikes that look like they are offroaders.”

Rumor is that the Swedish army wanted to evaluate the HMV on a test track, so they got three delivered.

That game is surprisingly hard. Wrenching was a nightmare because I kept missing the activation spots and doing the wrong movements. 

Ah, well - in another article it was lamented how the Chrysler 300C is based on an “old-as-hell” platform. So a Veyron should be equally offputting, since its bones are about the same age.

Why do y’all harp on about the 300C platform being “old”?

Turn signals, in the case of BMW drivers.

Okay, thanks.

Another fun thing you can do to aluminum things that you are angry with - like the car rims of someone who you hate - is to take some mercury and leave it in salt water for a few days, and then pour the mercury-ion-rich water on the aluminum thing.

Since you are an expert: is there some way to bleed the air pressure in self-leveling rear air springs (not AIRMATIC) on a 2009 E-class?

Some people have a certain type of anger management issues. Not in that they get angry per se - everybody can get angry - but that when they do, they act retrograde. They do the opposite of what they should in order to get their way.

You are right when I think about it - I have heard more about US company stocks than I would like to. Can’t remember the last time any stock was mentioned in the press about any company over here in Europe. Funny.

The gas lid on my Buick would get stuck and not open when I pushed the button inside the cabin.
