No specific story here, but if you show up at a rental car counter with your helmet, things can get interesting pretty quickly.

Just like the cheese curds, they squeak out.

My wife and I are contemplating building a retirement house. One of our challenges as we age will be keeping the heat on and buying fuel for our cars and motorcycles. We figure that we’d be fools not to put solar on the house because we’ll essentially have CO2 free power generation for the rest of our lives.

It’s not like we didn’t fight a war 250 years ago to eliminate this issue:

If you don’t have a factual rebuttal, you go full ad hominem.

Given that higher octane suppresses detonation, it wouldn’t be unreasonable to expect that premium fuel might actually hurt mileage in a vehicle using compression based ignition.

I think you have confused myself and another poster regarding the “close enough” comment.

Thanks. I’ve been there a bunch of times, but couldn’t remember.

The yellow stuff is from Aston Martin’s racing history. They used to paint the grill yellow so they could spot their cars, back when everyone ran their national color in Gran Prix racing.

The picture was taken out at the spot where James Dean died. It’s at the intersection of CA 33 and another state highway that isn’t coming to mind right now.

That thing is uglier than a current Prius, which is going some. It looks like some kind scrapbook of nifty car features that have been put together in some kind of 3d collage. I looked and I couldn’t find one line in that car that makes a lick of sense or adds even the remotest bit of grace and elegance.

I’ve been a motorcycle enthusiast for decades. During that time, I’ve been subscribed to a series of mailing lists dedicated to technical diagnoses of broken motorcycles.

I’m a BMW motorcycle dork and car enthusiast. The motorcycle appears to be a Porsche 4 bolted into a BMW chassis. The instruments and everything are from Munich.

Indeed. The Concours this year was absolutely stunning. Ferrari brought all kinds of cool stuff and my wife and I were kind of losing our minds for a couple hours gawking at them all.

I went there last year while BMW was celebrating their 100th. How about a track full of racing 3.0 CSLs? How about the factory CSLs and just about anything else BMW has raced out there hauling ass? That was pretty epic, but I have to confess that probably the best part of it for me were the guest speakers. They…

I’ve never been to a Whole Foods that didn’t offer up a parking lot experience that made me want to start buying my regular groceries at a 7-11. At the WF locations around here, it’s like the customers all hate cars so they’re really, really lousy drivers.

As a car person, it’s about the car, not the value. Every time I go, I see cars I’ve read about and seen pictures of, but never heard nor been able to take a good in person look at. And I’m nearly 60 years old.

Howdy. We were down there and I thought I’d take a minute to pass along some ideas for those that aren’t stupid rich, which includes me.

Former New Englander here, now living in California since 1999. Taking a look under my 17yo California purchased F150 and not seeing all the bolts growing little crowns made of rust flakes still kind of freaks me out.
