The only people that would buy this would be actual museums. But they wouldn’t, because it’s got way too much usage, and isn’t actually museum quality. Props to the owner for the meticulous care, but that doesn’t translate into selling it for half what it went for new.

I only ever see slingshots that look like these around town - I’ve never seen an unmolested one, or one that isn’t absolutely blasting music for the entire neighborhood. 

The absolute dipshits that ride around my town (DC) in these Slingshot mobile stereos. They’re for people that want to ride a motorcycle but lack the courage or skills to actually get on two wheels. They should be banned.

Ha ha! Well, my butt isn’t happy about it.

I suppose, but why not get something more comfortable to ride? The whole point of drop bars and the aero positions is speed and power, which is being provided by the electric motor - you could have whatever riding position you want.

That’s why today, like almost every day, I was back home done with my ride by 830am. Those people don’t get out at 630am. You sacrifice some sleep, but you gain a beautiful sunrise, empty trail, and opening hour for your local coffee shop.

I gotta wonder who this bike is for - as a road cyclist, I understand $6k is around middle/low middle for a serious road racer, and even I spent about as much on my bike as my car (which says more about what I drive than what I ride, trust me.) The thing is, $6k is A LOT of money for someone to drop on an e-bike - and…

If you go 85 on a toll road in Texas you will get absolutely run off that road. I drove from Dallas to Austin once and was astonished at how fast the average car was going. The thing that causes accidents isn’t necessarily speed, it’s the difference in speed traveled on roadways. Here on the BW parkway the limit used…

I’m both a pretty serious cyclist (I bike to get places and in races) and a lover of cars, with two fun enthusiast cars. There is nothing inherently bad or wrong with the scooters. They’re cheap and quick ways to get around. The problem is that there is no infrastructure for them. Cyclists have bike lanes (most of the…

I think there are a lot of points to make about how Tesla isn’t a luxury brand, but my Audi seats ALSO got stained from my jeans. It’s a thing that happens with white seats. I think it’s smart for most brands to avoid pure white seats - I think Audi now offers “cream beige” as their lightest color, while Mercedes has…

Pulling out and expanding on one of your points...Tesla is about as luxurious, overall, as a modern day mid-range Toyota. If you sat in a Model S Plaid then sat in a Mercedes S580 the difference would be stark, the two aren’t in the same league. There’s nothing “luxurious” about Teslas, other than the inflated price…

You must be new to the internet. 

Counterpoint: we have a housing crisis. People can’t afford homes. Build housing. Don’t be a NIMBY.

When I was about 10 years old, my uncle who lived in New Jersey came down to visit usin the DC suburbs. He was a crane operator, and did quite well for himself as a fresh-off-the-boat immigrant from Eastern Europe directly after the fall of the iron curtain. He drove down in his brand new Porsche 911 Turbo.

I completely see your point - my parents did the same thing. When the plot next to theirs came up for sale, they even bought it to guarantee a developer wouldn’t move in there. Most of the residences here are legit farms. This part of Oxford is mostly true farmland.

I went to grad school close to here and have driven by this exact plot of land. While I don’t necessarily agree with his team thumbing their nose at the rules, the council is being a bit ridiculous. There is NOTHING out here, and while it is pretty, from what I can tell, this little cafe/restaurant isn’t detracting…

How else would everyone know that he’s absolutely yoked, then?

When I was in my 20s and flying often for work as a non-manager, I would just upgrade myself to economy plus or business out of my own pocket. That’s always an option you can take - you can try to make up for it later on by eating cheaper and pocketing the per diem, or getting a little creative with your expense…

You know it's bad when they can't even bother to proof the headline, of all things. 

I can get on board with hating billionaires or the generationally wealthy, but I have to agree with OP. I’m nowhere near “wealthy”, but I’m also a DINK and am fortunate enough not to have debt, so I have a nice car and a weekend car. There’s nothing wrong with that - I don’t have to pay for school for kids, or save…
