Specialized and Trek both have some fantastic offering, and Specialized is arguably the benchmark for innovation. For my purposes getting around the bay and Portland with something comfy that has room for laptop / groceries, I was probably going to get a Giant.

The dark brown leather looks really great. Make sure you keep your driver’s seat well conditioned or the bolstering is going to wrinkle like an 80 year old smoker. I’m jealous of those AC seats...

Did the same a little over a year ago, 2018 with 8k miles. Got it for 16k less than the sticker that was still in the glovebox.

I’m still mad about the Nissan IDX

It's why I'm getting a Hilux

Ey yo I think you answered your own query there. 

That is also how I feel, but in the nicer newer cars you are only getting an approximation of a manual anyway.

The 6 speed auto in my Escape was adequate at best. It did bare minimum of converting engine power into movement. It shifted at odd times, occasionally held gears too long, and was slower to downshift than any 4 speed auto I had ever driven.

Full-face helmets are great, IMO.

Light-duty mini-truck that gets 30 mpg.

I still have my 95 Ranger XLT. It is showing its age, but for snowy days when I cant drive my mustang, or trips to home depot it is still a great vehicle.

Hey Pal!

Yes, that is what I do with it, haul stuff when needed.  Has had minimal needs in 2 and a half years of ownership.

I guess I’m not eligible, since I use the RainX washer fluid.

The lack of Simpsons references makes me sad.

This needs more starts. I’m think something like: “The Chevy Astroid. Look, a rock!”

Can I program my own messages? I want one that says:

This!! Been wishing for the ability to project messages forward and rearward for decades.
