Thanks to Gandpa for fighting so hard that day.

He should be doing this show from the back of a windowless van

Jeez. Some people, right? They can suck the fun out of a carnival.

that's pretty good for a van. I was hoping it wasn't so bad, she was bored to death

Yes but what did the dead woman think of the ride itself? As a jalopist, I always need to know how the car stacks up.

Hey hauling' balls. As an experienced rider, I worry for you friend. I don't know why cruiser guys feel their more safe. of course, speed thrills and kills, but so do the cars around you on a cruiser. And those little brain bucket helmets that your brethren wear? You can fall down a set of stairs and kill

Why does leaning translate to less safety? If it's done properly, a rider can control the bike mostly with his/her legs and free the upper body to react to what's around you. you can still put gentle inputs into the bars, as well as brake and gas, change direction, etc.

That's the coolest thing I've ever seen. Love that dirty side exhaust and all.

Same thing with us. I run 15lbs of pressure in the Atom wheels. Anything less and there's hardly a contact patch, as the car is so damn light. It's a good problem to have! We run sticky near-slick Kuhmos on it. cheap and happy.

Probably not. it's not that it's unpleasant or impossible to drive, but you really need to be alert. it's twitchy on the straights and very willing to swap ends on corner entry, but we only drive it on the track so there's no danger of flying through someone's living room or anything. We race spec miatas, so all

We have an atom. 300bhp supercharged. No aero. That car can use a good wing/splitter combination for sure.

I think the Tesla made the list because it's a new, real and viable car made in America, not to mention during the doldrums of the economy. Having driven an S, I can say that its a fantastically built vehicle with a chassis that can be compared to an M3 - that's one HUGE compliment.
Also, America is a technological

I'm American, and I support you!

Sorry but three messages from America:

Aside from all those older harley riders I see that don't even bother to wear gloves...I've never understood the pillion seat for their wives with the arm rests and all. I always think, when that guy dumps his bike (because they all think they're superb riders, yet demonstrate very little skill) that gal is going to

You got it right there man. As a rider, track guy and hobby moto racer, I've had some big offs in my time on a bike. The right gear has kept me in one piece and alive. Now a days, brands like Rev'It (of which I'm very, very partial) make gear that's as good looking as it is functional. We bikers don't need to look

$kaycog always on point.

The official car of NYC is the Access-A-Van. While they don't always go up in flames, they are everywhere. Who knew the immobile were in fact, so mobile?

That means Grandpa is a standup, smart guy. If the freeway is too fast, take the backroads. I agree on the poll too. Travis - make it happen! Then we can release the findings far and wide and you can put on a tie for CNN!

Yeah well, in recent years, many hydrogen cars have been made, including the Chevy Equinox Fuel Cell, Honda FCX Clarity, Hyundai ix35 Fuel Cell and Mercdes B-Class F Cell. Toyota is releasing the FC hydrogen car next year and the US department of Energy announced two weeks ago that they're accelerating their
