Fun little bikes - I have 3 CB400Ts in the garage right now! A ‘78 TI, and ‘78 TII, and a ‘79 TI. “Restoring” the ‘79 - it’s always been in near perfect shape but I haven’t ridden it since ‘01 so I’m basically replacing anything rubber, the brakes, and rebuilding the carbs - one of which has a broken easy-out in it

Behold, the R63 DIY engine rebuild (to avoid paying a $57K for a new engine):

As a proud former owner of a hail-damaged (nicknamed “Dimple”) ‘92 Plymouth Grand Voyager, crack pipe. I loved that thing, have some really good memories in it, but I just can’t. Not even in these trying times.

As an S90 owner, it boggles my mind it’s considered mid-sized, but we’re coming from an ‘06 S60, which is about the interior size of a Versa, believe it or not. At just over 6', I can sit comfortably in the back and even stretch out a bit, and that’s sitting behind another 6 footer.

Fellow S90 owner here.  Which hitch did you install?

That top one silver one is a Volvo for sure but I’m not 100% sure which model; the holes for the headlight washers helps seal the deal.

Crack pipe just for the coupe body! (Owned a white ‘81 Celica hatchback for several years in the 90s - loved that thing).

But who will try to charge me $571 to replace a fuel pressure sensor?

Found a thread on Twitter showing comparison shots, aspect ratio seems to be 4:3:

Asking the important question right here!

12-year-old ivankc thought it was amazing to go up the Pacific Coast Highway in one of these (So much space! Free to go anywhere!) but 46-year-old fat ivankc can’t imagine what it must have been like for my father to drive it, especially up any sort of incline, and this was back when the speed limit was 55 mph. Also, I

Can confirm, I was there. It was insane! I was surprised they didn't red-flag it sooner. Leaving the race was interesting too, with all of the blown-over tents at the campground (we luckily had already packed up).

I could see my 8-year-old daughter doing this someday. She already accosts people who litter.

Only if you count posing for Playboy a wardrobe malfunction.

I liked the first one so much I bought a second (running both in a HTPC)! I've been running the original for 4 years now and haven't had a single problem with it, or the newer one for that matter (the new one is 1-1/2 years old).

Man I love those cars! Gorgeous.

Thanks, Wes, for the article! It couldn't be any more timely. I have finally decided to go down the backpacking rabbit hole; something I've always wanted to do since I was a kid (I'm 42 now). I enjoy car camping and hiking, so why not both?

Ha! My 8-year-old daughter does that to the wife! My wife sometimes has too much love to give.

I can vouch for the tick key. I removed 4 of them off of me in no time flat.

For some reason, valedictions along the lines of "Kind regards" included in some signatures really get under my skin.
