I wasn’t shitting on Nissan, I was speaking about that crash specifically.

It was okay, but the art style and “camera work” was a bit off putting.

That was pure luck. There is (likely) nothing that that specific vehicle did any better than a myriad of other mid size cars from that same generation. That women won the lottery.

I am now imagining Bradley riding this thing.

Every machine is a smoke machine if you operate it wrong enough. 

Shit! I’m used to talking about the red giant star that’s around 640 LY away from us in the Orion constellation. That’s a pretty good star, and will put on a hell of a show when it goes supernova.

I’m starting to see a lot of Tesla Model 3 drivers trying to take the “biggest douche on the road” throne, but BMW and Charger drivers are definitely doing their best to defend the title.  

Yeah, something I kept with me from when I used to ride. It doesn’t matter who’s fault, right of way, or green light it is, the guy on the motorcycle loses every-single-time.

I was actually just looking at the new Volvo rigs (for fun), and they offer a ton of the same kinds of safety features we get on cars. They have BSM, Brake Assist, Lane Keeping, Radar Cruise... with that said, a lot of rigs are not owner operated, and the people who buy the fleets are cheap and will go with the lowest

Actually no, I was making a blanket statement of how much damage a big rig can cause to a small car regardless of the situation or who’s fault it is.

True, but I don’t think that being an automotive journalist was ever a “well paid” position unless you were in the upper tiers. That also means it was probably a slog of reviewing midsized sedans and minivans since the top writers were the ones that got the fun assignments.

More people need to see this image to learn to NEVER cut off a big rig (or anything towing a large item)... especially to never get between two of them. 

I would consider Doug Demuro, Matt Farah, Jason Fenske, the guys at FTL, Donut, and so on automotive journalist. I don’t think the job is dying, it’s just changed

I know Matt Farah works his ass off, but it always looks like he’s having a great time, which means it’s “easy” for him to go to work. The laziest has to be Jay Leno, since he never has to leave his warehouse, the cars are just brought to him, or he already owns them... also, he never has to pick out an outfit.

Could even be the same guy that designs the Wrangler every decade.

I parked mine under a Jeep Grand Cherokee at around 50 mph after she pulled out in front of me... Granted, it wasn’t the bike that caused that.

Man, the new SV650's looks pretty slick. Kind of like what the Monster used to be.

Don’t make your first motorcycle a CBR600RR... ask me how I know. 

Neverending Story is a trash mess that is really terrible seeing in your late 30's.

This is cool and all, but why would someone pick this over a similarly priced SXS from Yamaha, Honda, Polaris or any of the other better known and better supported brands here in the US?
