I have a 95 CB250 (4 stroke) with roughly the same horsepower. 53 mpg, and will almost hit 65 with my big self on it. I’m a big guy. In total, I have about $400 in it, INCLUDING GAS for 1000 miles I’ve ridden it since I got it Thanksgiving 2016. I ride it 11 miles to work a couple days a week and the speed limit…

I didn’t have a hurricane, but when I was married to my ex and we didn’t THINK about cooking and grocery shopping so much, I developed the “throw shit in a pot” method of cooking. Whatever is in the cabinet and fridge that you may like, throw it in. That has refined itself to where with my new wife that actually…

I know I’m late to the party but been reading the recipes and felt inspired to share. I got HERE from the meatloaf page. Salad with meatloaf? My you are putting on airs... mashed taters and cabbage. Or pintos. Or whatever. Mashed taters are required to go with the meatloaf. In equal amounts. And I can make a…

I had a 79 Fox. Ugh. But I still voted NP. I really like the car. Besides, if it made 216K miles, what else could go wrong??? LOL I love a wagon.

Looks like a HotWheels that got stepped on. You know the one - your kid’s that you stepped on going to pee in the middle of the night. Remember the cursing you did? Yeah you’ll be doing that again with this car.

I remember the old original square body Cavalier. Not a bad looking car for it’s time. At least I thought that then. I thought that would be the stuff with a V6 and GM stuffed one in there, gave it some Z28 styled rockers, and it was a neat car for the times. And they kept it for a while, on through these. Ugly…

As for going “around a curve on the Beltway” and sliding off into the woods, at some point, you have to realize the limitations of the machine. Vehicles do not roll themselves over. Takes some input from the driver. I had a motorcycle student ask me once when did he stop leaning the motorcycle for a curve. I told…

Risky Business? Accidentally collapsed a dock.

Bears won’t need a ladder.

I worked with a woman once who eventually was killed when her own minvan ran over her as she went to get in it. Somehow.

If it were closer, a V6 and auto, I’d DD the hell out of that! I’ll stick with the 208500 mile Olds Aurora for now I guess.

Why look at Camrys when there are more interesting choices. I was stuck needing a low budget car in 2012. Looked at Camry, Grand Prix, Bonneville, etc. Found an Olds Aurora with 124K for $4300. I overpaid by about $300 to make me happy, but that car has been exactly what I wanted. Comfort of a luxury car without…

I thought that was a Chevrolet...

Motorcycles are the same. THe K1200LT (Light Truck or Luxury Tourer) has quick disconnects on the fuel tank from the factory that are made of plastic. You know they have failed when the bike starts pissing gas on your right foot. The emissions charcoal canister can get clogged with fuel from refueling and causes a…

Hey now. Aurora folks aren’t all bad. And my Aurora has 208K. Yeah, the Oldmanmobile isn’t the flashiest, but it is comfortable and big enough and returns 27 mpg average on roadtrips. But on second thought...don;t trust anyone with an Aurora lurking in the background. I think I like it better that way

Chrysler engine blue on a 318 is “brand-inappropriate”? I know I guy used one of these as his service station “go-fer” car - worked perfectly. Great for musicians too - get your crap to a gig. And having a soft spot for old Mopars of most any ilk, I’ll give it a NP.

I had a 79 Fox. Before the term POS was invented. Mine was okay, sometimes even great. But mechanically, a nightmare. It was used when I bought it. Automatic. On the way back from making hte first payment, the trans crapped out. From there it got no better. Electrical gremlins. HVAC gremlins. Braking gremlins. Head…

I had an AUDI FOX and it doesn’t matter how good a car they make now, I’ll never own another AUDI. I have seen everything that can go wrong with that fine German engineeering. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not all sour grapes - when it was running, it ran and handled great. However, I knew every tow truck driver in town…

One word. TURDCEL. My mom had a 3 spd AUTO car and that was the LOUSIEST POS I’ve ever been forced to drive. I wouldn’t buy it, period.
