The ONLY thing holding me back at the moment is.. quality. I’m really really glad they moved the speedo back to the proper place, though. Before it made all MINIs a NO GO for me.

Split tailgates on a sub $25k, brown, manual wagon. Sign me the fuck up.

I tried reading Blue Highways, but it was so depressing in the first portion that I gave up. My understanding is that most road trip books/stories are about/written by people looking for catharsis. Are any of the ones on this map a fun read?

I’ve been hit by a distracted driver while she was using her cell phone. She was in a 5,000lb SUV and I was on my 300lb motorcycle. I’d say it had somewhat of a consequence.

It’s not unreasonable.

Well, it’s a 15 year old car. Since it’s a practical and fun daily driver, I actually don’t see that mileage as unreasonable. Roughly 12,000 per year.

I guess he is not used to having people finishing behind him in F1.

Great car. My dad had a tan MarkV when I was a kid, and that battleship had presence. I absolutely love the proportions on these, and the feeling of luxury from the inside is incredible. Truly one of the best attempts at “American Bentley” ever devised.

Another misunderstanding there, I think. While a list such as the one that you use *might* be useless to someone who finds it (more on that below), that fact is irrelevant to the big-time crooks who crack passwords.

Every site at which you have a login stores your login credentials for that site in some form; those…

I just did this last week! It was amazing.

As Hunter Thompson once said:

Man, I recognize so many of those spots! Good write-up, but I prefer to do it this way...

I’m personally surprised they still allow bikes. In a car with a full cage you at least have a fighting chance, at least on many sections. On a bike there’s really no way it ends well.

Its been terrible longer than that. I dont know what has happened, but really, it isnt even worth checking out anymore.

NPoCP has been terrible for the past week or so ;,-(

Well, I am a big customer service advocate, and I do know the Lexus reputation, so I am glad to hear that.

No, you’re just colorblind.

For you! Lexus sells hundreds of thousands of cars each year to people who disagree with you.
