a) You probably don’t ride. Believe me, there are plenty of places that are unsafe for a car to pass where it’s no problem for a bike (either due to the bike being able to do the pass or simply because of things like better sightlines due to lane positioning etc). So it comes down to The Law vs. common sense, being…

In a study, an animated injured dog model was placed just on the side of the road. Thinking they could get away with it, about 1% of drivers swerved to hit it.

100% correct!

He consciously used his vehicle as a weapon.

The driver should be charged with attempted murder - but because he “only” hit a motorcycle, he won’t be.

I had this same issue... for years. Do yourself a favor and go take a test drive. Just make sure your at about 4k in second gear before your really test out the right pedal for the first time. Only do this if there is an empty space in your garage though.

why is there a ferrari badge on this c7?

I lusted after this car long before I could drive and ever since I took the test drive in my first one I was hooked. I have owned 2 e46 M3’s and 6 e46’s total and after owning everything from SL’s to 7 series there is a reason I always keep coming back. Take one for a drive, they are just as good as you imagined if…

Same... I can afford to replace mine, but nothing really feels right. The new stingray is just a bit to high strung and “easy” to get power out of (4th gear at a light from 20mph really?). The e46M rewards holding the gears like an underpowered car, but still is faster then 99% of what is around you. Useable back seat…

This damn thing.

Personally, that’s about 40k. I’m just not comfortable allocating a larger portion of my income beyond that. If my income didn’t limit my budget maybe 500k.

Probably my Miata. Nothing I’ve driven after it feels quite as light and airy and tossable. And somehow...warm, and alive. It made “normal” cars feel like horrible penalty boxes...kind of how motorcyclists feel. It has also spoiled me in terms of how you drive it on the track. I am getting pretty fast with it, but as…
