You’ll be pleased to know that the designer of the Vitpilen has been working as a head designer at Honda since 2019. My guess is we’ll be seeing some of his influence relatively soon, possibly with the new Hornet.

That’s not a Hawk. This is a Hawk

I like the color, but it looks like a blind person making a copy of the triumph speed 1200

Can we not with the 996? It was basically the last chance for me to own a car that I’ve loved for as long as I’ve known what cars are. I guess I could get a Cayman to scratch that Porsche itch, but the 911 is special in a way that Caymans aren’t. Even a 996 with its ugly headlights is still a 911.

Man, I really want to like this. My first impression was ‘hell yeah’ but then the more I look at it, it starts off great from the front and then gets worse towards the rear. The seat design, that crummy looking exhaust, the whole thing falls apart at the rear. Bummer

I’ll give you some insight from someone who sold Fords for 23 years (I started in 1997 at 20yrs old to Jan 31 2020 when I left due to severe Crohn’s Disease). I’m met Hau Tai-Tang. He’s a brilliant engineer and a true car guy (met him when he was the lead on the S197 Mustang in 2006 in Carlisle). He truly knows his

Until they reach a certain (very high) level of competence, I bet most people are going to lap faster on a less powerful bike. 

Wow, for me a RWD 230hp BMW would be worth hanging onto. (I’m in a 10-year-old AWD 3-series—much heavier, but oh well). The Acura looks good from some perspectives, but FWD and 200hp would be enough to make me think twice.

At the very least a toenail clipping.

with the boxy front end and sculpted sport-bike-like fairings

Their early stuff had a fair bit of doom metal in it, but they’ve been pushing in a sort of prog/psychedelic rock direction for a long time. They kick ass regardless though.

Yup, every time gas just gets expensive I just move closer to everything and get a job that I can walk to.

I saw the last fortnine video too.

Smokies would be nice!

This site is failing, the rats are leaving as it takes on water and we can barely argue about it since our posts get buried and are mostly unsearchable.

Maybe now’s an opportunity to bring Alanis King back and give her the reins and see how weird this place will get? Daily Criss Angel sightings? Even worse pizza takes? I’d read.

I’m fairly sure one day I’ll end up writing:
