Cargo shorts catching strays out here. If the modern fanny pack is a thing, I’m not going to apologize for loving pockets.

Tried it once with my wife in a nearby park loop, and never felt compelled to try again. She’s a fine passenger, but I’m not experienced enough, and as much as it’s low, an old Honda Rebel probably isn’t an ideal bike to ride two-up.

I feel like we’re better off targeting the general ethos of the Neon rather than putting it back into production.

Yes, surely suspicious and not done for practical reasons.

Assuming you’ve never ridden, and noticed just how ridiculously wide a lot of our lanes are. Plenty of roads have plenty of room for lane-splitting with no imposition to cars.

It will go the distance, it will not go for speed.

...did someone edit in engine noises when he’s pulling in?

Tired - replicas of the restomod Mustang from the Gone In 60 Seconds remake

Everything comes back to Honda should relaunch the Element.

I don’t pretend to know the cost of federalizing the Ram 700, but it looks like a Laramie Crew Cab is like $24k USD in Mexico, so I assume there’s a way to get something semi-affordable and go steal some Maverick sales.

Hey, that guy who just builds rocket cars and drives them out in the desert is the perfect embodiment of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. I nominate him for Secretary of Transportation.

Even the Panther was good for a bit over 60 MPH in reverse (and in testing by Car & Driver, a Town Car was only like half a second slower going 0-60 in reverse than going forward).

It’s still a terrible idea for a teen compared to something equally attainable like a sub-20yo Volvo C70/Saab 9-3/VW Eos, if they’re dead set on a convertible.

As a tool for engine braking in hilly areas, I see a bit of merit. On the other hand, the sport mode in a Corolla hatch rental I used doing the fake shifts was horribly stupid when it could’ve just kept the revs closer to the power band at all times.

I have a soft spot for these (although the later 5-spokes are cooler, and neither interior is great, being either stuck in the 80's or anodyne and too 90's GM), and your options for cheap 4-seat convertible are mostly these, Sebrings (I also like, although the Olds is probably less hassle), or the odd SN95 Mustang. NP.

Unlimited is absolutely unlimited, but the fine print also states a conventional rental can’t be used for renumeration, so at a minimum, the renter probably deserves to end up on a Do Not Rent list.

Would you ride a Royal Enfield Flying Michael Balzary?

Why not both sides?

It has wood trim, and that orange is spiritually brown.
