My Ford is all ‘Murican. Ain’t no bean dip or maple syrup in it. And them’s Toy-yodas are just assembled here in Texas, but thems parts are Chinese.

Aside from emotional attachment to the 911 badge, why would anyone buy this instead of a used Boxster/Cayman?

Outside of Ohio and Pennsylvania presidential votes don’t matter...

This doesn’t surprise me. I will say this time and time again. The people that own a Buell are some of [if not] the best enthusiasts I’ve ever met. They just genuinely love their bikes and talking with people.

The problem isn’t that they have 36 models... it’s that they have 36 models that are all variations of their overtired cruiser theme.

No, Harley-Davidson are the Morgan of motorcycles. Maybe Caterham, if we’re being very charitable.

I think the only thing HD can really offer anyone at this point is being a case study in business school. Don’t rest on your laurels while your market ages out.

Neutral: Bring back Buell and start making these supposed new bikes that are really going to save you this time for real.

I went to the Harley-Davidson museum yesterday. Disclaimer: I really don’t like Harleys.

Nothing. I’d just sit around until the golden parachute kicks in and then bail. For goodness sake, how many final last chances does Harley get? Just let them, and their whole poisonous cult, die.

NP just because I can't remember liking a Z after the 90s.

Same here. If this were the car I wanted (haha, fuck no), I would want to find one long-termed owned by an enthusiast. Every city has these little dealers that “specialize” in worn-out Euro trash. I find their wares riskier than direct ordering bat soup from Wuhan.

This piece is being sold by “Mark’s Discount Truck and Auto Sales.” That alone gives me pause along with the statement at the top. This motor doesn’t have a great reputation for reliability, and the vehicle has too many hints concerning the lack of care it has had throughout its life. CP Mahk.

Had I not looked at the author, I would’ve legit thought someone stole one of David’s Jeeps.

That’s nice but are you going to find one for 7500?

He was tempted to offer the person their own Jeep back- somehow he ‘acquired’ it

He has been banned by the editor from recommending Jeeps, a sensible decision.

I’m sorry for any owners who were ok people, but the Chevy Blazer ZR2 tended to attract douchebags. I was just a kid when they were in production, but I noticed a marked tendency for this particular version to be driven by assholes.

That rebel markup, tho, is a lot

It’s been decades since the Japanese brands taught the big three a lesson about the cost savings associated with simply using better parts suppliers, setting higher engineering and testing standards, and operating more efficient plants, and apparently they’ve still not learned anything.
