the future of cars is going to be big—not small

I’m not sure 475lbs is portly for a 150 plus hp i4. For reference, a Ducati supersport with maybe 113hp at the crank, is 465lbs. If the engine is the same as the gsx s1000f, that has been reported to have around 150hp at the rear wheel. In a world of KTM 1290s this might seem tame, in a world where most of us live,…

Might have been pro bono. In the appeal at least, she appears to have been represented by someone who seems fairly young (admitted to the bar 2015), who appears to be the only attorney at a small firm, and who comes up as having pro-bono/legal-aid work among his interests. And it was an interesting case involving not…

Well, we are progressing farther down the road of de-evolution as described in “Idiocracy”  That said, the courts did in fact rule correctly.  The cop is a GOVERNMENT SERVANT to the public, and thusly, no matter how badly they hate it, must abide by the person’s right to display their I.Q. to the officer in a fit of…

except the reason for the change in mind was the cop didn’t like the one finger salute. 

I’ve found that most of the times (all but one) that I’ve been pulled over it’s been fabricated. As soon as I switched from my 240sx and E46, to an Explorer, I stopped getting pulled over for all the ridiculous fishing reasons the cops gave. My driving habits didn’t change one bit.

It’s more like saying don’t have sex with someone with AIDs, because you will die from AIDs.

I never liked it, primarily because it looks like a Golf that’s been made *drastically* less practical. It’s the same wheelbase, same platform, same weight (?), and it’s just that they took away the hatchback part and gave it a tiny little bubble of a cockpit.  It just looks *wrong* for me in some way.  I honestly…

They seem like they would have annoying quirks that are expensive and go wrong.

Don’t forget that a lot of range is lost because, unlike other e-bikes, the battery is shared between the motor and a permanently-activated 1KW sound system broadcasting the sound of a diesel cement mixer on the verge of stalling, mixed with ‘Freebird’.

You would be better off if you just put $10,000 in a pile and lit it on fire while someone punched you in the dick. 

Not to mention all-in $30k Busa or ZX-14 turbo builds accelerate like Wile E Coyote strapped to ALL the Acme rockets

I call BS on 60-80 being the ‘fastest’ time. Because they are comparing a top-gear roll-on vs a machine w/o gears.

Regrettably I completely whiffed on the “reliability” checkbox. I’ve paid way more in fixes than I did for the Jeep itself. Axles and lockers and steering components, oh my.

I had a particularly happy/fortunate experience at a dealership, although it had practically nothing to do with the dealer.

“A program like the TVA to fix the roads would be appreciated.”

It’s not a ludicrous idea, although we won’t hold our breath over the exact name.

2nd Gear- The problem really is that measuring efficiency in mpg is highly misleading to your average consumer or politician.

i would be way more terrified to go out and play in traffic on a bicycle than a motorcycle!
