But that’s what makes it fun.

Two strokes have technically been illegal nationwide for a few years. Yamaha gets away with selling the SJ if you have a racing license. They are not sold with a warranty either.

Uh, why?

The line to buy one of these forms behind me.

One thing? Oh, you’re correct - refining all of the things you can do on a stand-up. I can’t ride a sit-down and ski at the same time is my issue with them. Plus, the sit-downs are for lazy people (not that that’s a bad thing - I’m just opposed to being lazy).

I owned one of each - I was bored with the sit-down within a couple of months. With the stand-up after five years, I STILL wasn’t bored.

Ford has been assembling vehicles in Mexico since 1925 - it is nothing new.

And crosses fingers for a truly SMALL Ranger - not the current monstrosity called the Global Ranger.

The supposed “higher repair costs” are a bunch of crap. I just purchased a ‘16 F-150 and my insurance DECREASED. I’m 55 and I traded a Fiesta ST for a far-more-expensive vehicle.

You mean a road crew doing actual work?

In looking at new trucks and aside from the prices, I was dismayed to learn that the top-level regular cab trucks are the XLT level. Perhaps there just aren’t that many of us SINKOWS (single income no kids or wife) who want a really nice truck.

Only idiots.

The V10 is available only in the chassis cab versions.

Do I need a Super Duty? No. Do I want one? Oh hell yes!!!

It’s funny how many people confuse Buicks with luxury cars (they are not). While they may be somewhat luxurious, Buicks have never been considered luxury cars.

A friend of mine still has a diesel Chevette - those things refuse to die (Isuzu engine).

Incorrect - I bought a Dodge 024 in 81 - it had the 2.2 and 4-speed and it screamed.

That's nothing. My dad, a mechanical engineer, made a throttle "cable" from bailing twine (not wire) for a 63 VW Beetle.

Safety equipment? Crash standards? No one cared about that crap in the 70's. Hell, if we wanted seat belts in a car, we had to bring our own.

That's the best you can do? Try a diesel Chevy Chevette. Fact is, any economy car made after 1980 doesn't qualify.
