Your move, creep

You’re absolutely correct. The reason you’re getting roasted is that this site (and all of its sister sites) are far-left propaganda machines.

Watch out buddy!!! Not allowed to talk about that here!!!!

“More riders obviously means more bike repairs, but the problem is budget bikes are breaking too often too soon and aren’t actually repairable.”

Yeah, and then you have to somehow acquire that classic Mini. In the U.S. that’s usually a pricey proposition. There’s nothing practical about this conversion--it’s all about style.

I may be biased, but the Mach 1 really doesn’t deserve the hate. It was a purposeful attempt to fill the market gap between the GT and the extremely expensive Cobra. Yes, it was at the end of the New Edge lifecycle, but so has literally every other Mach 1 iteration except the 71-74. It has always been a light bolt on…

Is this really treated as a Muscle Car by anyone but people who complain “its not a Mustang”? Even people who normally buy white or silver Corollas know that the Mustang name is a sales trick and its an electric SUV like Tesla.

Nah this is internet commenter brain. Not everything needs to be objective and easily defined, most people understand “soul” to be referencing a number of subjective and objective aspects that contribute to the overall experience of a vehicle. It is nebulous, but that doesn’t mean it’s unfounded.

They were anemic, poorly built, and ended up with some rather unsavory owners, but they were a good improvement at the time, and contemporary reviews seem to suggest handling was pretty laudable for the time/size/price.

The GTO is the worst? How quickly you forget the Volare Road Runner and Aspen R/T.

I’ve always liked the volvo alphanumeric naming. definitely made it IMO easy for people to recognize “ok, S for saloon, XC for cross country, and the 90 is higher than the 60... must be nicer”

Must admit I’m also not a fan of the name, but we get used to almost anything. Getting excited about it is a different matter... 

Reminds me of that South Park episode about Nambla. I hope Volvo cleared the trademarks with the National Association of Marlon Brando Look-Alikes!

My grandmother makes this same comment on her sewing blog every time they write about an expensive sewing machine. She swears up and down they should only write about sewing machines she likes! 

Performance CUV/SUV’s aren’t new. One the size of an air craft carrier though, that’s new.

And OP won’t buy either of them!

Well this is a good regular reminder that ACAB.

Blue Lies Matter

At least, it was delivered, once, I had a packet that was thrown down the street next to a garbage dump. I found it when I got down to take out the trash.  I got lucky that day, but I’ve kept the litigation open and got a full refund. Because come on, you just don’t throw away packages !!! 

I happened to be out at the road when the UPS truck pulled in and handed me the package. I recognized that the contents were not fragile, so with the driver right there I launched it down the sloping driveway hoping for a nice long slide. It didn’t, it tumbled. I said to the driver, “Bet you wish you could do that…
