Actually fuckwad, since you must bring politics into it is a conservative move; letting the complex a PRIVATELY owned company regulate what should (and I believe is) be regulated by the government.

Who said they'd drive 100 mph, what ambulance drives 100 mph, and how do you not know that not every medical emergency needs an ambulance. On top of that, how dumb are you to not realized that someone who's delinquent on their car payments probably doesn't have decent health insurance and even more likely can't…

Living debt free as a single overriding objective is ludicrously overrated.

good points.

No, being happy means doing what you want, when you want and not waiting for someone else to get tired of their toy so you can buy it and hope it has the features and options you want and it wasn't hooned. Money is just a thing, you can't take it with you when you die, and as long as you are not spending wildly above…

Whenever someone says cars arent a good investment I want to smack them in the head. No shit. That's why Im at a car dealer, not Charles Schwab. Guess what my 401k cant do? Get me to work, or the grocery store, or anywhere else for that matter. I cant autorcoss a savings account. Cant go for a Sunday morning…

Counter-post from me coming soon :)

"and mapped my way to it with a detour for tacos."

Same cost? Both 4wd Z71 V6's in similar-ish sized beds, and similar-ish sized 4 door cabs, and no other added options. Looks like a it's about $5K cheaper on the sticker to get the Colorado.

GM's auto trans axles have been pretty good as of late. I have a fair amount of confidence in them at this point. From what I have heard the unit in the Vette is exceptional. One can hope anyway.

Which would put it squarely on my list of things to own at some point. I'm more interested in what the 2.5 can tow. I don't mean yachts, more like Uhaul trailers and such for the inevitable moment I'm required to help my family member move for the 16th time in a year.

Jeep also didn't have the Cherokee at this time last year.

So.. A scooter is a bad thing? Oh, and federally, it is classified as a Motorcycle. That's why there is a rear brake PEDAL, not a left hand brake lever. Just because you have some kind of bias against a dual-clutch transmission that can shift faster than you can does not reclassify the machine.

Good point, and as a former ’73 Primavera owner (stolen off the street in Nolita—still gutted about that) I take your point about clutch-and-shifter scooters too. Something pedantic in me is reluctant to consider a twist-and-go bike of any size a full-fledged motorcycle, but on reflection I guess that's more a…

And they're all wrong.

Well, I'm a motorcyclist and I think you're wrong about this.

Anyone who uses the word 'purist' in relation to a hobby needs to go soak their head. Especially when they follow up with an opinion from 'the overwhelming majority.' The elitism of your comments about an automatic and a foot-brake are the kinds of shit that have given Motorcycle riders a bad name for years. Not only…

Sorry, but that's ridiculous. All of these, then, are scooters:

Do you think any motorcycle with that seating position is a scooter? Have you tried to convince harley enthusiasts of that idea? I mean the meth using wife beating kind, not doctors and lawyers.
