If you're going to be loading it up, the XR650L is not the bike you'll want from that list. It should take a few smaller soft bags, but an expedition-grade trip will require something larger. On the other hand, if you can keep your load lighter it'll be the best off-roader in near-stock form.

I feel like "Sport Wagon" is pushing the definition of "not Wagon".

Very true. The wheels won't fall off, the transmissions will.

The new Mazda2 looks fantastic but it's crying out for a Mazdaspeed version. If anyone could take the brilliant Fiesta ST off its throne, it'd be Mazda.

Really?

But no, really. All hyperbole and joking aside, the SUV is likely to be an extremely strong seller upon debut. One could even say it's gonna tear shit up like Napoleon before he decided it would be an awesome idea to invade Russia in the winter.

This had better be his daughter's bag. No, just no.

Depending on its delivery condition (full hard, martempered, fully annealed, spherodized, TRIP, etc) it is hydroformable. There's a lot of interesting work right now in Electro-Manetic forming for thinner sections, mostly for body panels, but also for complex shapes.

They've been using steel that's not ridiculously difficult to roll and form. Automotive quality steel is some of the best in the business, and the HSS and UHSS grades are much, much more difficult to make at the quality required for vehicular applications.

Update: A Tesla spokeswoman declined to comment.

If they didn't write into the contract that labor isn't covered, how is that a loophole? It sounds to me like it's just not part of the contract.

Surprising amount of orange peel here. I know it's just wheels but every Bentley I've ever seen up close has OEM paint that is as close to flawless as you can get, this definitely takes away from that.

Scraaaatch!

It's hand-shifting, pretty common in tiny-engined racing. The bikes are so slow that getting out of a tuck to shift would take a few mph off of your speed. You stay as flat as possible, keep your throttle hand on the bar, and tuck the clutch hand out of the way. When you shift you just pull up on the shifter with your…

58 Chevrolet Silverado HD and GMC Sierra HD full-size pickups from the 2015 model year because retention clips attaching the generator fuse block to the vehicle body can become loose and lead to a potential fire.

You'd think he could afford the services of a tailor. This is like the second coming of MC Hammer.

The Stingray actually looks really small in person. I've seen a few running around locally and it gives the impression of a small, but very imposing, sports car. The Camaro, and it's pony car competitors, give a much larger physical impression with their blockier profiles and large greenhouses. The Vette mostly looks…

Add a small platform for a seat right here, a few pedals, and a steering wheel, and you're good to go.

Isn't the boat supposed to be what goes in the water?

I've had a similar problem. I brought the jeans to Self Edge in LA (you can ship them in as well, www.selfedge.com) and they'll darn in new denim to fill holes and reinforce worn down areas. It cost $45 flat rate for everything and made the jeans like new. They use very high quality thread/yarn to fill things in and…
