Wonderful motorcycles that can go off road as well as cruise at autobahn speeds all day. I laughed when I realized after a San Francisco to Fairbanks roundtrip that I had never got the bike into 6th gear.

I have a love for Peugeots of this era. In the mid 1970's, after spending a summer backpacking West Africa and seeing many Peugeots in action, I came home to Oregon sold my Jaguar and bought a 504. After a winter roundtrip Oregon to NYC the car needed...a quart of oil.

28 million and that top is a one piece that doesn’t fold up and store anywhere in the car. When it stops raining you leave it by the side of the road in the South of France and order a new one.

I see no problem.

At least the fire happened on the open road. If he had got home and parked next to the 1,000,000 rolls of toilet paper he still has left over from last spring, it could have been much worse.

Odd that a Japanese person would order this in left hand drive. Like the UK, Japan uses right hand drive cars. I assume he keeps this car in the US or Europe.

Or more to the point, an EV car owner installs a fake gas cap on their EV, parks at a gas pump at a gas station, sticks the gas nozzle into their fake opening without pumping any gas, seems to walk toward the station office, and goes off to class for a few hours.

Scary. That basement “bunk”, isn’t that were you lock up the teenage hitchhiker you offered a ride?

A certain percentage of the population simply cannot piss or **** anyplace that isn’t theirs. We just had a president that had that condition.

That sounds nice but my weird experiences have all been in taxis, not Ubers or Lyfts.

I find Highway 80 through Nevada (and onward east until the Salt Flats) extremely painful. Which is strange because I really enjoy Highway 50 through Nevada, which essentially parallels 80 south of it.

I live in San Francisco and one thing I know is that you do not want to own a pickup truck in SF. I am not talking about difficulty parking or things like that. You do not want to own the only truck in your group of friends and neighbors. They will all decide to suddenly buy upright pianos, broken motorcycles, huge…

The problem of electric vehicles in the USA isn’t range, or the cost of the vehicle. It’s how there can’t be a market driven solution to charger availability until ExxonMobile figures out a way to sell the electricity at $4.00 a kilowatt. Maybe with their “Premium Electrons”.

I live in San Francisco and I can easily see a big percentage of the market being satisfied with the 50-75 mile range. Living here it is common to know some cars and motorcycles that don’t cross a bridge in years, if ever. It’s a great place for a 50 year old Mercedes that only goes to Whole Foods and Brunch.

My first car was a 1965 MGB of which I became acquainted with every nut and bolt. Now, thanks to you, and unbeknownst to me beforehand, my Friday shall be spent in Reverie.

The thing is, if you bought Tesla a few years ago, a bubble burst bringing the stock price down to only 10% of current value would still make it one of your lifetime best investments. In fact, back of envelope math says that would put the price at about $400 for a pre summer of 2020 1 to 5 stock split share of TSLA. I…

I remember a couple of Architecture firm friends had these back in the 1990's. They had a certain appeal to some design oriented folks as something to commute to work in while even wearing a suit.

It may well be over valued, but I still have, and have never touched, 200 shares I bought in 2010 just for the hell of it. At the time it was half investment and half donation to something potentially worthy.

If I can park it there
I’ll park it anywhere

Living in a steepy-steep part of San Francisco, these kind of problems are always on my mind. You haven’t really mastered parallel parking until you parallel park an old Jaguar E-type on a steep SF residential street.
