Absolutely the best thing to do!
Absolutely the best thing to do!
I used to be an angry driver, constantly yelling (with the windows closed so no one would hear me), griping about how that driver made a left turn from the right lane, how slow people are to accelerate, merge, fail to use turn signals, etc.
My car does have the lockout, which is extremely annoying because there is no passenger override. Want to put in a destination or find nearby gas stations? Sorry, you have to pull over first to let the passenger do the work.
1st Gear: I see the creation of new IEEE standards for V2V communication as something that is absolutely necessary, otherwise every car company will make their own flavor and none will talk to each other well. A well-written IEEE standard should really be in place before we go forward with mass rollouts of V2V…
I wholeheartedly agree with you. The best way to change the world for the better is to change yourself for the better. If you think you’re already the best person on the road, you’re wrong, try again.
I’m all about the torque curve. Sure you can have 200hp at 7000 RPM, but 98.5% of the time you’re on the road you won’t be downshifting into 3rd from 6th just to pass a distracted Soccer Mom hovering in the left lane. You’ll just want to give it the beans and pull through.
Since you actually got to drive the 2.0L version we get in the US, how does the power delivery feel? What are some similar cars you can compare it to?
This makes me love my wife ever so much. She’s the admin at a local BMW/Audi/Mini mechanic and gets to see all the repair sheets, all the parts come in and out, all the vehicles and their problems, all the conversations the advisors have, and of course all the customers themselves. She’s beginning to know more about…
To me the CB300F was still a bit underpowered and felt like a toy. The CB500F is a much better step up but doesn’t have too much power, and only costs $1200 or so more. I ended up getting a slightly used Ninja 300 ABS and love how it handles and sounds. It’s pretty hard to beat its 13,000 RPM redline until you start…
Just do it! Start on empty roads and work your way to to more and more traffic. It’s actually quite a bit less frightening than you think.
Holy shit that is expensive. I have Geico, I’m 24, male, married, with a clean driving record, liability insurance is only $140 per year with my Ninja 300 (ABS). And no, I’m not missing a zero.
Why run a Ninja 250 when you can get a Ninja 300?
I was completely torn between a KTM 390 Duke and a Ninja 300 ABS for my first bike. The Duke had more power and torque with far lower weight, but it was a single-cylinder engine that doesn’t sound very good. Plus it’s a KTM so it requires far more love and maintenance (still not as bad as a used Ducati a friend was…
God Damn I am foaming at the mouth for this. I absolutely love what they are doing with their interiors, keeping them simple and not putting an obnoxious flatscreen right in the middle.
Good for France and the Rafale!
At this point I really don’t care about top speed, I care about how quickly I can get to 200mph or something. If there’s literally three places in the world to reach its top speed, then that statistic is entirely useless other than a number used for a dick-swinging contest.
Even in California registration for a mid-20k car is about $200. I really don’t know what state is so expensive.
I have no idea, but I know for sure it wasn't Subaru of Stevens Creek. We universally hate that dealership due to their bait-and-switch financing issues.
