nope. Not good at all.

except, its not.

2nd Gear: Now’s NOT A Good Time To Buy A GTI Though

1st gear: So this is recall worthy now? I just drove my ‘97 LeSabre around on dirt roads untill all the oil leaks were sufficiently caked with dust to self-seal. That 300K mile 3800 didn’t burn a drop of oil, and it was only marginally dirty at changes, but it leaked about a quart a month. When I started to smell…

some say he is the third-generation clone of the product of a semi-failed Nazi scheme to genetically cross Bernd Rosemeyer and Erwin Rommel for the glory of the Father Land, but all we know is he's called The Stig...

Not being a giant NSX fanboy (don’t get me wrong, its probably Honda’s best work, I’m just not a slobbery fanboy over it...) I was almost OK with this... I mean, it looks pretty clean, the panel gap is... not horrible... it’s probably genuinely pretty fast and fun to drive (unless they really screwed up the weight…

someone once told me a ridiculous, but believable thing: Half of all Volvo station wagons sold in the US are sold in Vermont. Ridiculous.... But believable...

Oh, absolutely. I was mostly just refuting SasquatchElvis's statement.

We would also accept an older XC70 or V70 with half a million miles, or in Shelburne; a 335D-Touring-Xdrive.

Yes. (cue dissenters in 3, 2,...)

Actually, as Vermonter, I can say that Bernie can kind of be a bit of a jerk, what he IS is full of good ideas.

This is true.

Due to Life and Other Things I did not get to do this last winter, hopefully I’ll get out again this winter...

huh, just Googled the XT660Z Tenere, it’s basically the same specs as my ‘97 BMW F650 Funduro, but with a 21” front wheel and fuel injection (which was optional, along with ABS on the F650....) -actually the carburetted F650 has 2 more HP and weighs a few pounds less, but it’s VERY close- Yeah I really do enjoy a big…

I’m gonna just Link to this comment I made on another post because the sentiment is pretty much the same and I don’t feel like writing a new rant right now.

Except they don’t make the R any more, and no one who owns one is selling unless it’s beat to within an inch of it’s life.

YES. The Wee-Strom has pretended to be the solution to this dilema for too long, and the KTM will be too expensive (but probably awesome). Bring on the AT650! (or if it’s a Yamaha they could call it the Sub Tenere)

yeah, one of my old bosses had an XR650, he was 6’2”. I rode his once... It was like riding a freaken giraffe. (I’m 5’8”, with a 29” inseam..) I can see the appeal of a Giant dirt bike for crossing the middle of nowhere at high speed, but as a daily it just seems too tall and gangly. I guess I really lean toward…

I didn’t realize they ever sold the Transalp in North America, let alone the little one! But then again, I’m not a Honda guy and usually don’t pay much attention to them...

yup, I didn’t actually watch this to the end, but the title of the article is misleading, or at the very least doesn’t match the video... And actually, I think I’ve seen this video before on jalopnik, now that I think about it. And I think it was correctly labeled back then... It may have been like 2010 or something...
