Yes, it's RISK MITIGATION.
I am the example you are describing, completed all the MSF courses (BRC, Dirt Bike Rider Course), wearing full armor, not drunk, riding safely, going the speed limit and a semi suddenly turning across my lane from the left lane is what got me. My gear was instrumental in my survival and…

Dude, Wes, don't even. You know how I ride and what a stickler I am about always wearing armor. It's often not the rider that gets himself killed, it's someone else that didn't see you.

Riding the speed limit, riding prudently and safely there are so many idiots in Los Angeles alone that it is damn near impossible to…

You missed one very critical point. Your friends were killed in accidents that were no fault of their own. WERE THEY WEARING ARMOR? A FULL FACE HELMET?
These are YES or NO questions. If the answer is no, their death is just as much their own fault as the person who hit them.

As a rider, it is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to your…

I love motorcycling and I am a huge Rider Safety advocate (ALL THE GEAR, ALL THE TIME) and major motorcycle accident survivor (thank you armor) but I will probably never get to ride on the street again and that's sad.

I had a 1990 Suzuki Katana 600 I bought on CL for $500, then fixed it up, added saddlebags, got it…

WOW! What a shocking twist. You may want to try these five amazing creations at McDonald's too.

YUP! One of our guys on the forums got rid of his Twin-Charged R56 and has been modifying the ever-loving crap out of his Fiesta ST. I'm Stage III and all but Dave is always like 3 steps ahead.

the worst car in the world is the later SC430
the earlier SC300/400 are fine

Wow! Three of those are mechanical nightmares, I guess the Ranger must be for when the VR4, S500 and Jetta VR6 are broken, as usual for their kind?

I think you're driving the wrong kind of Fiesta, and that's the problem.

On the list of "REALLY BAD IDEAS", owning any 1995-2009 Mercedes Benz is a horrible idea. I don't care if you are the one lucky guy who had an OK experience with one, owning any Benz from that era is a great way to get on a first name basis with your local Mercedes Benz service advisor.

Considering how long the Topaz has been out of production that's REALLY surprising

what a bizarre press release o.o

Valid point

I was so happy to see all the dealers in Iowa City IA get fucked up back in 2006. Fuck them.

to be fair, not being intimate with your partner fairly regularly (regardless of which side of the table you are on) can really turn a relationship from a romantic thing into "two people that live together", you follow?

I'm not saying you've gotta go do it every day or every week, but don't let it become months.

everyone…

Just like I can't drive my Fiesta ST in Forza Horizon 2 unless I have an Xbox One AND get the Day One package (not available for Xbox 360!), you can't drive this either.

Note: I am not the type of dude afraid to get my hands dirty or do my own work whenever possible - when I was a teen the only thing that stopped me were jobs that needed a lift, air tools or welding, or anything to do with the inside of the automatic transmission. I don't understand what happens inside it after the…

sometimes being willing to get your hands dirty isn't enough
While I would never be the mechanic I am today if I hadn't owned so many damn cars at the same time I wonder how much easier my life would have been if I simply had dependable transportation.

The Focus and Fiesta ST are undoubtedly great. The Fusion looks great, but lacks some oomph. Ford has that fancy new 2.3 L EcoBoost that's in the 2015 Mustang. The Fusion is already offered with AWD. Do you catch my drift?

The new Mazda2 looks fantastic but it's crying out for a Mazdaspeed version. If anyone could take the brilliant Fiesta ST off its throne, it'd be Mazda.
