Could be the light, but seems there’s some discoloration on the driver’s side, too. Whatever, calling a rebuilt title “clean” is shady enough to keep me away, even if the price was lower. 

Charlotte. Our leadership at the time thought that a football team and changing the name of the airport from “Douglas Airport” to “Charlotte/Douglas International” would secure “world class city” status for us.

“If it doesn’t have at least some public transportation, it doesn’t qualify as a real city.”

I get your point, but it depends on where you’re from. In my old neighborhood, Rottweilers and PCP were a lot more common than pigs, so this is more novel. Besides, I really like bacon. 

You laugh, but when I was in college, some of us transported a big-ass rug in just that fashion. Of course, back then it was a ‘68 Valiant and not a Fiesta, but still...

Don’t count Barney out. History might not have been his long suit, but he knew quite a bit about psychology:

Neutral:

“Man, I miss the age of angles.”

“They were murdered because they offended a religion.”

Yeah, yawn-inducing to me, too. I hate sounding like someone’s grumpy old uncle, but there have been few BMWs since the 2002-Bavaria-3.0 CSi days that do it for me. Not that my opinion would matter, since I’ve never had the money to buy one, anyway.

Neutral:

“... I love the quirky designed Europa as well.”

But you don’t have to pedal it. 

“...how many people on here have done worse than me at $173.67 per HP?”

“It’s just me in the car 95% of my driving, and my girlfriend is with me for the other 5%.”

Yes. I couldn’t agree more, and I’m a 60 year-old guy. I saw Easy Rider in the theater. I watched Then Came Bronson on TV. And yet, 40+ years ago the story was not that much different. My friends and I aspired to Bonnevilles, CB750s, and R90s. Even back then, we considered H-Ds overweight, overlarge, and archaic. If…

See, that’s why I like it. It disguises the overly square bro-bulges on the fenders.
