Congratulations! I know MSF isn’t intended to be fun, but it sure is interesting...and everything you learned there will serve you well. There are a lot of ‘rules of the road’ you will learn as your motorcycling adventure begins...and you can find lots of articles about them, not all of which are accurate or good to

Our MSF instructor called road obstructions “squishables or swervables”...as you said, decide which ones to safely run over (or through) and which to attempt to avoid (not always very easy on a bike).

You don’t ‘sit on’ a Ducati Superlight...you wear it.

And Lewis, of course!

Yup...I can vouch for this. Whether it is the constant road destruction (they claim it is construction, but I never see anything built, just roads in constant state of disrepair), or the animals that think roads are prime grazing land, or the drivers, driving in PA is a nightmare.

Eh, I was half-kidding...I just don’t like yellow very much.

Ducatis should be red, full stop.

Came to post this as it is the only answer...this is the only car that doesn’t look ridiculous in yellow (it does, perhaps, look ridiculous in general, but that is part of its charm).

Palisades Parkway, New York...a winding, mostly two-lane, road with a cliff-face on one side and mini-guardrails on the other, in a constant state of disrepair (potholes that go so deep the bottom of the car hits the ground), with some of the most insane drivers in the known universe. I’d feel safer riding a bicycle

Little known fact about Chevettes...you could fit a smallblock Chevy V8 in them. The results, good or bad depending on the effort and dollars invested, were guaranteed to be hilarious...

I would think that “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” could have a place on here...it’s not about high school but it is a huge part of the makeup of the main character and many of the scenes. Besides, Stephen Root as the Principal is great. In the words of Pike, “I’m not angry, just disappointed.”

The biggest disappointment in car history is that all the nifty cars are either too expensive (so only old guys can afford them), or bought up by posers (and subsequently become too expensive because of availability)...and are then driven like little old ladies (NOT from Pasadena) are behind the wheel, if they are

Fuel gauges are fundamentally different than EV range estimates...the % Charge one posted mentioned is probably closer. If you want a more apples-apples comparison in an ICE, use the Range estimate many cars provide. All of my cars of the past 25 years have had this function...and it is always pretty accurate, if a

Not to be pedantic, but it was actually on display on the dock next to the Intrepid, not on the carrier itself. While Intrepid started off with just Navy planes, they did start adding planes that were never used on carriers...or could never be used on a carrier...such as a Space Shuttle (in an enclosure at the back of

Having lived in NJ almost my entire life, I just cannot understand how this topic gets people all excited and upset...it’s just frickin GAS, people! I quite enjoy not having to pump my own gas...except when on one of my bikes, when I DO have to pump it, because most attendants have probably been shouted down a few

I grew up in a Skippy household that kept it in the fridge...but my mother also had a deep abiding hatred of white bread, so I always suspected she kept the PB in the fridge to ensure the shredded demise of as many slices of white bread as possible.

At least they were rwd...and once they had Lotus tune the suspension, they were quite fun to drive. But they were way slower than they looked.

Back in the 70s and 80s, rural areas in PA spread manure on the road in inclement weather...living just across the river in Hunterdon County, we knew that when it snowed we should stay the hell away from PA.

I agree with commenter who shouted about the omission of “Hot Rod Lincoln”...almost as much of a travesty, where is “Bitchin’ Camaro”???
