I am so confused by the constant reiteration of those outdated themes & memes ... the wannabe outlaw biker that is actually a dentist from middle America, etc. etc. ETC. ... They are not just now “wriggling away from the Hell’s Angelesy associations and leaning into the ‘premium’ side” since (a) the outlaw biker image…

I hate the modern politicized term “progressive” ... it’s the new millenium version of “liberal” from the 1980's ... it means in simple reality the hard core left wing radical desire for overturning every social norm, and does not in fact mean anything like the literal dictionary definition of “progressive”.

I so much want to believe Harley Davidson will turn the corner and become an aspirational brand once again. The LiveWire and the 2 street bikes look gorgeous to me, and would definitely be on my shortlist of bikes to buy if they came in at a reasonable (i.e., very un-Harley-ish) price. I love the cruiser format in…

I feel there is a real problem in that no common airline I’m aware of actually has any kind of reasonable gradations in space/cost. I’d guesstimate that 90% of all flights in this country have only 2 grades, cattle car class and first class. You can pay 90 bux for the round trip flight in cattle car, or pay 500 bux to…

I only order online for delivery and I always tip the delivery person. Online ordering for takeaway actually reduces the vendor’s effort. Why tip for less work on their part? Okay, you did mention special instructions ... but are we talking special like “no mayo” or special like “lightly brown the mustard in a pan of…

The rule, hard, permanent, concrete and irreversible is this: no tipping for takeaway. Period.

What I want to see right alongside the crash test results / ratings is the actual rate of occurrence of those specific types of crashes amongst ALL vehicles on the road within a single given country (to weed out all the bullshit irrelevant outliers from 3rd world countries where all traffic crashes and deaths are much…

A Ford Escape is absolutely a big SUV.

Car and Driver have been making claims like this forever

Isn’t this vehicle basically the same as the Chevy Beretta of the era? I lusted after the Beretta GTZ back when it was new ... but I’ll mention in my own defense that both then as now I have no idea as to their actual build quality or performance capability. I just liked (still do) how they looked.

I understand the emotion behind what you say, but it’s not a rational, reasonable, feasible, logical solution. Like posigrade said, just take away their car/bike, then throw in a fine and/or a bucketfull of public service hours and these clowns will definitely think twice before pulling these kind of stunts again.

How are their engines harmed by higher octane fuels?

Ryan, what the hell are you doing with your arms in that video? Are you an Aspy? Or did you just come from an epic marathon of rope-skipping and can’t control your arms? Seriously dude, did you not do any kind of screen test to determine what the hell you look / sound like before posting said video? (the notion of…

That CR report on the 360 is absolutely enthralling! That car was an absolute piece of shit, no two ways about it. It was a complete deathtrap apparently made out of garbage and spite. I’m glad Subaru survived and figured out how to actually build a car since then, but holy shit, that car should have been banned from…

and “drive-by-wire” systems similar to what you get in modern cars

Electric bikes can be made much cheaper than their ICE counterparts

You raise issues that are valid only after you have already passed the notion of “basic finance”. Basic finance most certainly doesn’t include the need to understand retirement savings plans or how mortgages work, etc. etc. Basic finance is simply about budgeting, income versus outgo. Don’t spend more than you make.…

it’s important for one to recognize when they have a credit problem

because you know it’s mathematics should be taught by professionals

I’ll admit to being a bit of a Tesla fanboi ... that being said, insinuating that the company is to blame for the operator errors simply because of a “misleading” name is a pretty far reach ... anti-intellectual at its root. I won’t forgive the failure of the driver to pay attention, nor blame Tesla, because the…
