Lol, yeah, I guess that’s why all those southern states lead the US in things like education, and life expectancy, and wealth....oh wait, nope, they lead the US in stuff like poverty and idiots dying because they think COVID is a hoax. 

OTOH as a Southerner who knows people working in some of those plants they are the closest thing to sweat shops in the US you’ll ever see. Just work the people to the bone, wear them out and find more cheap labor when they quit.

I mean between the W800 and the Z900RS i dont really se the point in the Z650RS. If you are a novice biker and want a nice retro bike the W800 will sound better and look better. The exhaust on the Z650RS is a travesty if you are going to build a 70's throwback bike give it chrome trumpets or dont bother. 

Same for a lot of Jeeps. Where are our Jeep brothers and sisters?

Where do you live that you can get anything in the world brought to you in the middle of the night through a huge traffic jam in less than 45 minutes?

This shits me up enough to actually avoid getting an EV until these issues are addressed. I really want to get on board with EVs, but I feel like the whole lot are still essentially a beta test.

you know they do that in florida too, right? their current law is already in violation of Roe v Wade and they are getting ready to pass Texas 2, Electric Boogaloo.

Isn’t towing very specifically a different spec and not included in payload? 

its good to have a reliable backup to the extra spare you have for the occasion that your primary, your secondary, your tertiary, and all of their respective spares and redundant spares, along with all of their said backups fail to to be operable.

This is really well executed. Now bring back the 2-smokes!

It’s a good analogy for restaurants. There are small family owned places that are fantastic, and there are small family owned places that suck shit. But walk into a Buffalo Wild Wings anywhere, and you’re 99% sure what you’re going to get. 

But is it better? I’m suggesting filters and oil that have proven to be high-quality via independent testing.

Harley has been dogshit for the last several years. The factory effort became nonexistent when Indian came in and started dropping dick on them. Gone are the days of all XR750 finals.

...Got us a dirt track date
Demolition derby figure-eight
Ate my dinner off a paper plate
Eliminations start at 8...

They spent all the money on grippy material so that’s why their end caps are cardboard and their bypass valves are plastic, instead of metal like virtually every other brand.

I thought that part was dropped from the bill a while ago. 

I make what is considered the median income and have my taxes set up so that I end up paying a little or getting a small refund, between the state and feds it’s usually a wash. I can’t see a scenario where I could benefit from the tax credit at all. It’s non-refundable and one year only. The IRS will hammer you if you…

If Toyota decides to add AWD to the Camry V6 like they do with the 4 cylinder, it’s game over for the WRX.

Oh man, you’re in for a treat. I’ve read both his R&T and his Cycle World stuff, and I’d say they were equally good reads. R&T used to have all his Side Glances articles online - now there’s only a few it seems, which is too bad. I’m always searching used book stores for the hard copy anthologies that they produced…
