Motorcycles in general, and Harleys in particular, are too expensive and too heavily-regulated in most of the United States to be anything close to a rational purchase decision for most buyers under 40.

Harley-Davidson is developing technology to try and keep the aging Baby Boomers on their bikes as long as they can—largely because they have failed for years to find ways to attract anyone younger than 40.

Why can’t we get good woolen upholstery like Toyota offers on the Century? 

I was so confused when I read this; I thought this was going to be an essay decrying Communist infiltration of E-Sports.

Gotta be aftermarket. No way this clears Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. See FMSS 108 (Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment), S6.1.3.1:

But...there were already road Rovers

how is it only Toyota that offers super-nice fabric as an option on its luxury cars? I would LOVE to have wool upholstery!

I’d import one of the OG SUVs that somehow isn’t sold in the USA:

I am rooting for the Toyotas SO. HARD. For the last several years it’s been like watching Charlie Brown kicking a football.

Hard pass.

My best guess is that this is related to a desire to control the trademark of the uniforms. The teams will argue that the uniform colors are part of their protected trademark, and enforcing it against the players might give them (marginally) stronger trademark protection?

People keep finding new and exciting ways to go off at Eau Rouge

Guess I’m gonna have to switch to dual magneto ignition for my smuggling craft from here on in

This is fantastic. I wonder if US diplomats in, say, Germany, drive Mustangs or Camaros to represent their country in a similar way

Oh my. Super-sticky tires and instantaneous torque on corner exit? That would make for EXCELLENT racing!

Carburetors, leaded fuel, pushrod engines? If that doesn’t add up to a fanbase in need of discreet erectile assistance, I don’t know what does.

HOT TAKE: the MPV was actually cooler than the Miata.

This makes me miss my old FR-S.

I would love a pickup. But as an apartment-dweller and desk-jockey, I have no real need of a pickup to do pickup-y things. I can dig cool trucks though.

given that the primary users of such a machine in Communist East Germany would have been workers in forestry or agriculture, the slow speed isn’t necessarily a problem. You’d use these to lug whatever you needed to a rail depot, or even a loading area where they could get loaded onto bigger trucks.
