I was with you up until the part about Florida.

Counterpoint:

I know of a couple good ole’ boys from rural Georgia who would definitely make it fly

Have you actually driven one? And not your uncle’s clapped out 80's version.

Well honestly I’ve got nothing. You’ve got this car thing figured out, thats for sure. Can’t pull the wool over your eyes.

Isn’t that enough?

I would add that when they built their whole brand off being a “rebel” (white) and a “tough guy” (white) and a loud AF “badass” (white), when the market of true a**holes and wanna-be’s became saturated, they had nowhere to turn.

Well, except for in Texas. My very close, balding, 33yo, overweight, redneck friend has long wanted a Harley. And no, he doesn’t live in a trailer and isn’t married to his sister.

People in general, including older established riders, are not riding anymore because of the head in the clouds, fingers on the phone cagers who make riding a terrifying, near-death experience.

I miss riding a motorcycle, but frankly the number of people distracted by their smart phones is alarming and very scary. However, if I did decide to start riding again, it probably wouldn’t be on an overpriced hunk of chrome.

Is there a button for the pod bay doors?

Tell everyone waiting for their model 3

Unfortunately I need it to get to work. However I grew up with High Maintenance engines. My trial-by-fire was one of these:

that’ll buff out.

So have I! Kill it with fire!

And then their lease expires and they get a new one.

I see you one BMW engine, and raise you an Audi engine. (have owned both)

And thus the irony, huh? The irony is that while BMW, VW, Audi, and Mercedes go on and on and on about their wonderful engineering, what that really translates to is that the cars are ( yes I know cliche’) over-engineered with lots of totally unnecessary redundant components and features.

It probably doesn’t help that from the factory, new cars at least say you can go 10-15k miles on an oil change from new. We know a mechanic that is a factory authorized Dinan installer, and worked for every German factory OEM known since the 70's, even he says never go past 5k miles on a change, no matter which engine…

I used to work at Midway games ... sigh.
