The modern automobile. It can go far more places than just about any other form of transportation. From city center, to mountain top. Forest to desert. It’s not far to find one, just outside your front door or in your garage. It’s time table is completely flexible to your schedule, not someone else’s. It’s quiet,…

Unfortunately when it comes to racing, they are like HD, with a prettier face. They can only compete if raced exclusively against themselves. Boxer motors in Porsches, Subarus and Ferraris make for a good motor that provides a low CG. On a motorcycle it has the opposite effect. to get the ground clearance for the…

No argument there.

This is what I do not get about peoples ‘love’ for HD. yes this is a “cheap” entry level HD, but it’s just under $8K. for the same basic money get a Kawasaki Vulcan 900 or a Kawasaki Vulcan S. I’ll fully admit I do not get cruisers, wrong seating position, and crap performance, but then they are not made for someone…

Oh please, please ,please, tell me Renault is returning to the US market, and bringing that truck! And if they brought in a manual transmission version it would rocket to the top of my to buy list.

Never underestimate peoples ability to be completely stupid.

From what I understand from our Corporate Pilot, it did not work out well from a reliability standpoint either. The theory behind it seemed good enough, but in actuality the engines were just not designed for the constant load.

My brother once got pulled over driving a classic car (He almost exclusively drives cars from the 50’s through the 70’s, except when my dad gives him one of my moms reliable newer cars) the police officer started asking questions about the car. 45min later the officer asked him if he knows why he pulled him over. My…

I’m not quite sure I’d go as far as purty... but definitely not an ugly bike.

I’d be pleased if they could get the descriptions right. With an accurate description I could at least draw it or imagine it like you suggest. Search for a manual transmission and about half actually have automatics. I have even seen dealers list the same car once as a manual and once as an automatic. Not sure if…

It was in the US, I do not recall getting an accounting of the proceeds, but this was over 15, almost 20 years ago, so it's possible I did, and just tossed it in the circular file and forgot about it. Also since I moved into a different apartment due to my poor finances it's possible, although unlikely, they mailed it…

I did this actually, and I do not see that I had any other choice. I had lost a job, and could not afford my bills. I tried to find a car dealer to pay off the loan and take it off my hands. But they would only do so if I was buying another car. I advertised the car for sale if someone would pay off the loan. I owed…

While in collage I had an RX-7 that I used for work, delivering Pizza’s. On a delivery the engine started running rough and then kept stalling out. I ended up calling the store to report I was done for the night. I managed to get my car to limp home 2 or 3 miles at a time. The next morning I started checking things…

Uhhh what the hell am I look at? did Honda take these pictures, is this a super close up of some parts? this is like the Lamborghini pictures of the tail lights, I honestly have zero clue what I am looking at in these pictures? I thought at the bottom of the article there might be a full picture, but no just more of,…

I just wished someone would build a really good looking adventure bike. The vast majority seem to be ugly or really ugly. The hand full that are not either seem to be more street bike wearing adventure bike clothing or a full on dirt bike with too big of a motor.

Probably not a bad one, not like buying an R1 as your first bike. Still a lot of money to spend on a first bike, especially if you are thinking of taking it off pavement, where you may be more likely to lay it down. I’d say on your first bike figure your going to lay it down at some point. Not necessarily that your…

I’ve never encountered and admissions fee, I think I would walk away from any junkyard asking me to pay that. I suppose if they credit me the fee when I buy some parts maybe I might not mind. I would suspect the fee is to cover pocketed parts. I can remember putting lug nuts and screw covers trim panels in my tool…

I used to love going to junk yards but then most the yards in my area started severely limiting access. They would not allow you to go into the yard on your own and many just plain would not allow you to go into the yard. You had to tell them what part you needed and they would go and find it and bring it up. A few…

I’m not sure if they have reversed the rules, judging by recent video’s I have seen they probably have. But when I was there Cameras were strictly Verboten.

My last insurance company raised my rates, their justification, I have too many credit cards and my credit score was too high. I have 2 personal credit cards. When I called my agent she claimed that people with more than 1 credit card and with high credit scores tend to have higher claims than people with 1 or no…
