I couldn’t afford it 10 years ago either, but there are a lot of people back then who could have bought them but didn’t. I would have considered buying it in lieu of my new 718 Cayman S if it were still being sold new today. The 4Cs seem to have held up well. The big issue with them is that the chassis bolts, all…

I couldn’t afford it when I COULD buy it. But it’s important to realize that for about the same money you could buy a Boxster, which is also a small, fast European sport coupe, and which, unlike the 4c, HAS air conditioning and DOES NOT HAVE Alfa’s history of terrible reliability. Although from what I hear, 4Cs have…

We’re all collectively kicking our own asses by not buying the 4C when it was being offered as new. Now they’re gone forever and wishing cars like the 4C would make a comeback. We thought the good times would keep rolling on forever.

It’s within the realm of possibilities that the consignment joint is the one who financed the loan and had not yet sold it to another financial institution.

Is taking a credit card the same risk as taking a personal check?

Same.  If I’m just going to pay the card off when I get home, why NOT get the rewards back from using the card?  

That’s not necessarily true?

I thought I’d like to consign selling cars/bikes in the future. I definitely will not any more. The lack of insurance coverage on both sides screws the consignor. There’s a lot of unsecured money on the line that can be scammed away quite easily. This probably doesn’t happen often, but what if it happens to you?…

Villarreal needs a good lawyer.

Thanks for the headsup. I’d be parking this inside the front building gate or in the backyard at home, so that wouldn’t be an issue there. I wouldn’t have to park on the street at work, though the parking garage may not be that much safer but you’ve given me something to consider and keep in mind. 

man that sucks, time to invest in some airtags...

I’m obviously a sample size of 1, but not too long ago, I took a gander at their configurator and just closed the tab as soon as I saw how many trim options there were.

Groms are more desirable since they are an actual motorcycle with a manual sequential transmission and clutch. Scooters are CVT automatics. There’s rather huge subcommunity of Grom owners that customize and hoon around on their Groms. Some of which may or may not be stolen. Some get parted out, some get exported to…

Love Grom. Generally hate those douchebags who ride them. And there seems to be so fucking many of them.

For a commute like yours a scooter is more practical with actual storage. In my option a scooter will put a smile on your face like a grom (but many fragile male ego’s will disagree).

It’s a good starter bike and fun bike. However, due to its miniature size, the riding experience is not a good representation of a regular sized bike. If you ever upgrade to a regular sized bike, you’ll have to get used to the larger size and heavier weight. Still, you’d have an upper hand compared to a brand new…

Groms and small, lightweight 125cc motorcycles are the easiest to steal. 2 or 3 guys in a pickup truck pull up to an unsecured Grom, lift it in to the back of a pickup and take off. Literal seconds. Even chains can be cut easily, so instead of taking 10 seconds to steal your Grom, it’ll take 60 seconds. Broad daylight…

I’ve always wondered that about mini bikes like the Grom. Can’t someone just pick them up and put them in the back of a pickup, or something? It’d be a 2 person lift unless they’re pretty buff, but like...do Grom owners chain them up like bicycles?

Coming soon to a “Stolen! Have you seen this bike?” Facebook page near you.

Solid false equivalency. 10/10.
