You’re right, our European allies deserve free military aid like illegal aliens deserve health care and my wife’s kids deserve to see their biological dad (cuckold voice).

Why would our economy shrink if we were able to devote more resources to capital investments, R&D, energy exploration, and everything else that’s more productive than blowing up bridges in Iraq and paying for some high school congratulates in the Army/Marines to go play war games?

Oh they can afford it, they just chose not to because they know they’ll get NATO protection either way. I think we should make NATO support contingent upon countries meeting their NATO obligations.

Ugh, I’d rather take a bus than ride my SV650S hundreds of miles. Even 25 mile (one way) commutes were unfavorable, too hunched over, too much weight on my wrists.

“The suspension is garbage” is a popular riff but it’s just not true. It’s comfortable enough on the street and it can hold a line in the corner. It’s not going to hang with a Speed Triple R, but in my neck of the woods a fuel injected SV goes for $2,500-$3,000 and Street Triple R goes for $7,500.

Yeah my girlfriend’s focus. The streering was really weird, the transmission (the DCT) was not as well-mannered as I would have liked in the parking lot, but on the road it was fantastic.

the question is, how much additional loss is there due to having to run a compressor

Well, everyone who hasn’t already traded it in. Mind you, these are illegal cars. VW eating the loss on this is a pretty small price to pay in exchange for executives not getting locked up and put in a holding tank with drunk drivers, wife beaters, and drug users.  

I don’t see the analogy that stripping a car is like destroying the evidence, can you help me understand the analogy?

Logged in just to make this comment - Yeah, the guy is probably a jackass. But this is the sort of shit that VW has to eat - they sold an illegal product and went out of their way to get it cretified as a legal product. Letting people pull fast ones on them is a small price to pay for all their executives that aren’t…

Grab the tow company by the bussy -

the 2nd/3rd owners probably cheap out on the rubber more than ford

God ain’t that the unfortunate truth. For a while, my pops got a letter every few months from Yamaha describing this or that recall / safety consideration.

That can’t be entirely accurate. It’s way more common to see new loaded trucks in working class neighborhoods now than seeing loaded S classes and LSs in working class neighborhoods in the 90s.

Toyotas without a hybrid option:

That’s a little harsh. Kirspy Kreme’s aren’t the best but they’re better than a lot of crappy hipster doughnut shop doughnuts (which cost 3x as much probably for the pin up girl ambiance and because the shop pays its employees well enough for them to be ham planets and smoke American Spirits) and they’re better than…

Yamaha’s Speed Sensitive Suspension isn’t that bad (though it’s not as good as the WP kit on KTMs). And frankly I’d rather have a rekluse than a hydraulic clutch but to each his own.

that’s the point dude. A $600 4runner would be a rusty frame without a drivetrain.

If she’s been getting laid for years as a sex slave she probably knows more than all the boys combined.

Is ‘sad suburban chumps’ a dog whistle for any group?
