One more question ... I'm six feet tall, also pretty long-legged for my height, is that going to be an issue on these entry-level bikes? Guess I'll just have to go find one and sit on it...

Thanks for the help! I'll definitely be looking closer into this soon.

I'm not bothered by the top speed as long as it doesn't take an unsafe amount of time to get to 80ish so I can save my skin on the highway.

I've been looking at getting something as a commuter/weekend fun toy for a while. I've never ridden a road bike (just a dirt bike) and I've been gravitating toward a CB300F. Since there appears to be a good deal of riders commenting on here, do you think that would be a good starter bike? Keep in mind I do have a…

Yeah, they cannot handle snow here, for sure. Thousands of people in summer and/or a balded version of some sort of all-season tire crawling at a snail's pace and sliding into one another. It's the epitome of a shit show. The last one near Raleigh, if you look at photos, looked like an apocalyptic event had happened.…

Also in NC - I hate driving around here in any sort of busy situation. They just cannot handle it.

You are me. But not me. Like I said those things, but you wrote them. You are my spirit animal. But a person.

I'm not one for giving up my story ideas but since I like you guys and I have to write all day anyways I'll throw one out there and hope you haven't already done this and have the means to determine the results. So, story idea: What city in the U.S. has the worst drivers? If you decide to proceed, I nominate Raleigh.…

My Golf is in the shop, again, this time for exploding a DPF. Currently driving that boat they call a Passat until it gets fixed. Then I'm selling it. (most) VWs drive great but I'm not willing to put up with the grief their intricate systems all but guarantee. Never again, VW. Never again.

Can an M3 (new) be had for this same ballpark of coin? Or are they typically marked up quite a bit? I'm not cross-shopping these, per se, but if I had $60 grand to blow I'd probably rather have an M3 over a hotted up Mustang or Challenger.

I own/have owned 5 vehicles off of this list (although the Rabbit is/was a Golf) and I have never been ticketed. I did, however, receive two warnings in the same week as a teenager driving the wheels off of an old Blazer. Lesson learned. If you're frequently getting tickets you're either not paying enough attention or…

I dig it - not a Cylon, I swear.

From the advertisement you linked to the base model: "Load your family into the 2014 Nissan 370Z!" Do you mean one at a time? Does the trunk baby? I'm confused.

How in the world did the Veneno beat whale penis leather? I mean, WHALE. PENIS. LEATHER.

I could go for a rip of FFVII with far better graphics. Hell, I could go for a remade, remastered, next-gen-console copy of FFVII.

didn't read, just star'd.

Every time I read about these things I wish Subaru would crank closer to these numbers out of their own four cylinder in the BRZ and price it around the same as the four-cylinder Mustang. I'd order it right now, full sticker, no arguing (and gods know I love to haggle).

May I bring up fueling stations, as well? In the past week I had to sit for about 10 minutes at the only diesel pump (U.S.) at a station with 19 other (petrol) pumps because some cunt with a 1 Series decided that was THE pump she was going to clean her windows at, with the swill in the reservoir connected to the trash…

Perhaps it's just one of multiple engines they'll offer? I know that's the trend with several of their other cars - the anemic trims and the enthusiast trims.

My wife loves her 2011 Jetta. It's been the most reliable vehicle in our stable, although it's nearing the end of its lease period, so it's not old enough to show the typical right-out-of-warranty-fuck-you-now qualities that VW is unfortunately known for. That being said, we replaced it with something made in the Land…
