Maybe in a city a scooter is fine, but moped (pedal to start) screams that you’re too cheap to pony up for something with an electric starter that gets 100 mpg. Where I live, scooter or moped is highly impracticable for going anywhere safely on any kind of date, especially in the late fall to mid spring.

I wrote moped, not scooters (specifically Vespas and other similar styles) that have fine lines, great curves and fantastic colours. Next time just tell us you are illiterate.

1a) Any kind of dirty, ratty shitbox that smells on the inside and smokes on the outside.

He’s probably on par with Maldonado.  He’s wrecked out quite a few times.  The difference is that since he’s always in the back, he only takes himself out.

Nader didn’t kill the Corvair, poor sales killed the Corvair. In 1965, two things happened concerning the Corvair, 1) GM had switched to an independent rear suspension and 2) Nader’s book came out criticizing the Corvair’s swing axle design. That means 1 of 2 things, GM knew this was coming and got ahead of it or more…

Well, his institute published a book specifically on the Beetle a few years later calling out all the safety issues with that car, including the swing axles.  Which is kind of ironic since it was published the same year they switched to an IRS set up.

Chapter 4 was about cars polluting too much, so he included that too.

Agreed.  You could probably drive an unregistered car to the DMV, register it and then take your test in it... but we’re talking about a German driving test. Having never gone through that process and only heard about it I’m honestly shocked that a human person would have gone through what it takes to get to the…

Yay! Congratulations!

Well they’re not going to write about it here... but you’re dead right on that point. I really came here for Harriot & Crockett’s takes on stuff because I’m really into intelligent sarcastic writing, doubly so if it’s written by a self-identified and board certified asshole.  Those are my kind of people.

What I’m failing to understand is that the airline tells you, “Buddy, you’re going to HAVE to wear a mask on the plane pretty much the entire time... can you do that?” The person has agreed to those terms. THEN they get upset, cranky and cause problems when they’re told to put it back on.

Well, he’s had addiction issues in the past.  In my experience, when someone gets clean and stays clean they need a hobby to keep their hands busy. I don’t think you need to hope... just hope he stays hydrated.

I think CT may have your answer. They consider them grey market vehicles, but anything older than 25 years only requires a VIN inspection, proof of insurance and a bill of sale along with registration payment. Looking up Connecticut kei car in the googlator and I even found a place that sells the damn things in, of…

You really want drama? Go and start watching some of the races from 2013-2016 JUST for the back and forth between Nico and Lewis and the team on the radio. It’s honestly hard to figure out which one of them is being the biggest bitch. They were both great drivers. But Nico had to put everything he had into that 2016…

Go read his other articles on bikes.  It’s getting muddy.  Especially considering the beefy tires he put on it.  This will see a trail and those brakes will be caked in mud.

Pretty sure Hagerty has that on their page.  I saw charts on that exact thing in their magazine so it’s probably also on their webpage.

I’ll go out on a limb and say none of it is scripted. These two have been like this for years. DTS just lets you see more of it than a short interview on a race weekend. It’s just getting good now because the championship is so close. 4-7 years ago Horner was busy dealing with the horrible motor they had. Ever since…

Glad it’s not just me. Aside from the rust, starting at the back it’s like, okay, this looks nice, nice lines, love the wheels, rear brake position is neat but probably doomed in mud, front lines are meeting nicely and... and... I’m feeling queasy... what... those can’t be handlebars... well, at least he’s going to…

Doubtful... See that Buick there? Those two doors were caved in by the Subaru in the foreground from a dead stop. Vehicle #1 was a VW Golf and it struck the rear of V2, the Subaru I was in, which was then pushed at almost 90 degrees left into that Buick. Both the Buick and the Subaru were stationary at the time of…

That’s right! I remember they switched from slicks to the tires with ‘tread’, essentially cheater slicks, just to make the tires wear out so they would need a reason to pit. One of the reasons Michellin won’t supply tires anymore is due to the FIA’s mandating that the tires wear out to make the racing more…
