I assure you that my recently purchased washer has multiple exciting features that I will never use, and was purchased at least partially because I thought it looked cool.

“THEY DON’T BUILD EM LIKE THEY USED TO!” he shrieks as he filibusters his way to 60MPH in a cloud of blue smoke about as fast as a base Accord...” 

Nothin’ better than some crusty old prick fetishizing four thousand pounds of 6mpg unreliability that merely manages to be loud and look cool-ish.

So exciting to add altitude anxiety to range anxiety!

The township of Merritt in BC is now, well, it is now part of the Coldwater River. The river threw a new loop right down one of its main streets, and made it a permanent water course.

you need to know November is phenomenally wet in Vancouver every year but this is a new level.

According to my divorced friend, a side hoe is always more trouble than it was worth.

Airport fire truck. Probably too wide for most roads, but whatever!

they are plenty fast - its the gas mileage you have to worry about

Having driven a fork lift about a mile on public streets (long story), I can say from experience that the thrill wears off quickly.

Unpopular opinion: On a daily driver, I am okay with very minimal cladding. I would likely take the 4 cross Tourismo over this. Similarly, I like the amount of cladding on my Alltrack. As long as it is only on high contact points like flared wheel wells and rocker panels where they could get scuffed by people,

Why are there scare quotes around “affordable”?

So the overall profile and maybe the front end will make it to production?

IF you can get them set up right, which involves arcane formulas to calculate proper straddle cable length, get them properly toed in and adjusted, they will be the best brakes you’ve ever use for 1 or 2 rides. 

Counterpoint - Manufactures are reviving nameplates expressly to profit off of your rose colored memories of that plate.  

The cross tour profile is scary similar.
