Observations from the past:

I see it as significant in densely populated urban areas where traffic concerns are beginning to push towards multi-use approaches, and efforts to reduce traffic overall.

Which is a start.  I do think it needs to go a fair bit further than it does right now. 

I’m not “bellyaching”, Penguin.

One very interesting comment you made:

I really think the next question to address (although it’s probably much more hairy than I think it should be) is:

Eliminating 2 strokes in urban areas (including small towns) gets rid of a ton of emissions right there. There’s going to be a small number of people like yourself who have a legitimate reason to use one, but that’s a small number of people overall.

... and out of the gate, Tesla produces another product with a misleading product name.

Cautious NP.

Those myriad “small things” add up to massive problems.

I never loved these things as a teenager, but looking at one today, it’s kind of “you know, there’s a good bit of nostalgia going here”.

Nice car, lousy price.  

Motorcycle riders that do incredibly stupid things like this (usually at really high speeds) are called SQUIDs for a reason (Stupid, QUick, & Imminently Dead).

These are a ‘meh’ for me. Nice enough, but I can’t say I was ever a big fan of them.

First Gear: DeRegulation

This sounds like the procedure for replacing the HID headlights on my 2010 Mazda 6. What should have been an easy DIY item turned out to be several hours of work because of the packaging arrangement.

If, in fact, this thing is as original as advertised, the price isn’t bad at all.

This isn’t an 81 Katana anymore.

ND. A 16 year old Audi? Sorry, but no.
