I would definitely have the repair done as a Prelude to any kind of grand Odyssey... Especially one long enough where I’d need a Passport and might end up out of my Element.

I remember seeing the occasional S10 Xtreme pickup at autocrosses way back in the day... They would do surprisingly well.

Pffft... You’ve clearly never seen my cholesterol numbers.

Yes, they will be justified to charge me more than somebody with an autonomous car.

I would. Car insurance is a competitive free market and, in our race to the bottom, people want the absolute cheapest version of whatever they’re buying. 

If I’m not any more likely to be in a crash than I am now, and the cost of being in a crash doesn’t increase significantly, why would the cost of insurance go up?

One of the truest things I remember from MSF class is they say if you have a lot of close calls in a car, you probably shouldn’t get on a bike.

If “or never” is one of the options, then wouldn’t it technically be a matter of if?

Good call... The most fun DD I’ve ever had was an ‘05 Cooper S, but I did it the smart way by buying it with 20k miles and selling it at 50k.

They could do it, but they’d have to charge about $100,000,000 for it... and it’d still cost twice that in repairs once it gets out of warranty because Mini.

All the ones that are the color you want are improperly listed... also 3/4 of the ones that are in your second color choice.

A leather jacket? Like a motorcycle jacket?

For years cars have gotten angrier and angrier looking... The next logical step in automotive styling is to make them look like they’ve literally murdered people.

Yeah, the semi was probably still a good bit away from the intersection when the light turned green

I bet this was just a viral marketing campaign by Nissan to remind people that the 370Z is still a thing.

Yeah, this is one of those situations where I don’t really see a huge upside to deputizing yourself in order to enforce some minor traffic law.

*eyeroll*

This is an ideal bike for beginners... You can’t high side a bike that doesn’t have a high side!

So can I go around screeching “BUT THERE’S NO WAY WE CAN AFFORD THIS” if I DO mind massive oil company subsidies and quantitative easing and bank bailouts and endless forever wars that cost literally trillions and trillions of dollars?

I’d also like to here about these $21 trillion oil company subsidies! If those are a thing, they totally shouldn’t be a thing!
