If brawl continues the SMash trend of not using health bars in lieu of a % damage to indicate how far a character will fly and uses the same control scheme as melee and uses a similar roster on similar stages with *gasp* randomly spawning items!!!!

I too have a foot made of lead. I too don’t get much higher than 26 or 27 in mixed driving. Though it is improving with break-in. I actually cruise and get over 32 on the highway. I find it helps to keep tire pressures up.

If it’s any small comfort - the guys who moan and whine about how cars are a “guy space” are the same sort of mouth breathers who clog up forums with things like “Why don’t my summer tires work in the winter?” or posts of their new “cold air” intake that sits above the exhaust manifold and sucks in 200F air....Can’t…

Every time I see Jorda, I am reminded of the time I watched her in a one-make renault touring car race. She was dead last. In fact, she was so awful, I was left with the lingering thought that she probably couldn’t beat me if we went head to head in identical Fiesta STs. Jorda was so far behind, and her lines so…

What sucks is this report hurts so many other company reputations too. Many of whom are doing quite well at stopping the “old ways” of dumping and burning and just not giving a shit. While perfection is a long way off, it is encouraging to see how many production shops and parts/supply companies are taking a proactive…

“Way to move those goalposts!”

Man, there are some screamer deals in my area for non running bikes too. A CB900 for 500$ list. A nighthawk 650 that needs fork seals and a speedometer cable for 400$. A Shadow 750 in impeccable cosmetic shape that won’t start for 700$ (probably rectifier/battery).

Oh I’m sorry, the XS650 needs new jets. Here’s a virago 750 - https://grandrapids.craigslist.org/mcy/d/yamaha-virago-750/6392058879.html

CP. If it was below 500, maybe. But at the end of the day, the KZ1000 is an old school UJM that, like many others, really wasn’t the best when being asked to handle large displacement engines. It did fine in it’s day but this bike is completely outclassed by the Kawasaki Concours of the 90s. With a much more modern…

Meanwhile in Michigan there are two - Construction, and “Shit, it’s cold outside....and there’s construction!”. Nothing says “long lasting road” quite like seeing the steaming piles of asphalt being slapped into frozen over potholes with gardening shovels by men who are more sweatshirt and hoodie than human.

Seeing cars on the side of the road, or in a parking lot, or sideways in an intersection with the wheel that fell off somewhere nearby is a once-a-month occurance. I want to specify - I am talking about JUST people who lose a wheel while driving. Every other car in the wal-mart parking lot has had, will have, or is…

Meanwhile, at the old timers show...

It would help if they could get parts to dealers within 6 months of the letter being sent out. I get the urgent emergency letter in March for my fiesta ST but by the time I traded the car in in July, there was not even a plan to get it done. I honestly forgot about some critical engine repair they need to do simply…

Engineers have been doing this for decades. Every old timer I know who worked for one of the big 3 has a story about how they learned how a competitor did something by putting it back together the morning of the rental being due back.

Pictured - “Enough” horsepower

Did everyone collectively forget Hulkenberg entering, and WINNING, the 24 hours of le mans a few years ago? Alonso brought more media to the idea, but in recent years you MUST give credit to the Hulk for being the first to do it and do it right.

If you read the article, you’ll find that this is a company that does millions of dollars in business from the electric bike market. So they are an established company that designs and manufactures a product in a similar-ish field. And as I told someone else, the crowdfunding was probably their idea at doing a…

It’s not just the name, it’s the name combined with the terrible disguise that makes this almost believable. Like in between trying to force a merger with GM and axing the Ferrari F1 program, you were spying on former engineers online under a “clever” disguise.

I have a thought about that - they did it to see if they could actually get buyers. Since they had other people kicking in a bit of cash just to make a decent prototype, my guess would be they’re going to see if they can get some more outside cash to go further. If they couldn’t even get a million in cash to develop a…
