I agree, its kinda like the automotive equivalent of dad-bod. It looks like it once was sporty and athletic, but after the first few kids it had to sell the bike and get a boring desk job. Now it just spends weekends watching Detroit Lions football with Bud-heavy while bitching about those damn’d TPS reports

The El Camino! Every time I see a cheap crappy 70’s or 80’s one on Craigslist I’m sooo tempted to get it no matter how horrible it is.

They should have cast Morgan Freeman as Ghost

Call me crazy, but I’ve never been a huge fan of the JK. I think the Wrangler peaked with the TJ. The JK’s are just too damn big. I used to daily a 98 Wrangler in high school and had an 82 CJ-7 project truck for many years. The TJ was nice and compact, reliable, easy to work on and damn I loved the old straight six.…

I was gonna say the same thing, driving my old CJ-7 provided an aural experience not unlike a dubstep concert.

I’ve been to several FD events and I think it’s awesome, but yeah it’s really just the motorsports equivalent of figure skating or gymnastics.

Shit I have a huge boner now and I have a standing desk.....

Yeah I’m planning on getting some good riding pants when the temp starts dropping, but I’m currently shopping for some riding jeans for everyday duty

I pretty much always wear a helmet, jacket, jeans, gloves, and boots, but I’m guilty of ditching the jacket for the occasional hop to the coffee shop about a mile away every now and then.

While I don’t have enough knowledge of the who’s who in BMW to know who really is pushing this, I’m hugely impressed with their efforts to incorporate carbon fiber composites into the primary structures of production vehicles. Weight reduction is super critical to all aspects of vehicle performance and the wide-spread…

Here’s the first two that come to mind in my experience

What I ride: 2010 Buell Blast

hmmm....My very educated mother just sent us Nachos!!!

I did a little piece on Oppositelock describing my experiences with the MSF course. I’m no pro writer or anything but check it out! http://oppositelock.kinja.com/a-beginners-gu…

Super stoked about this. I just got my motorcycle endorsement and first bike about a month ago and I’m going on my first long-ish ride to Nashville this weekend.

I love that the spare’s nearly fit in the trunk

No, the real answer is that I wanted to determine the gas mileage for you, my dear reader, who is undoubtedly on the edge of your five-function office chair looking for the result.

I had an Eclipse with a blown motor in college that I needed to get rid of so I just listed it on craigslist to sell/part-out. Eventually I sold off the seats, dash, transmission, some suspension bits, the hood, hatchback, lights, etc. After all the worthwhile parts where stripped, I called the local junkyard and they…

I just took the classroom portion of this class last night! The riding part is this weekend.

It’s probably not quite as un-american as the corvair, but I nominate the first generation of the Pontiac Tempest (1961-1963)
