They should never have gone away from cars with names. Really interesting post, almost every single model mentioned I have no idea what it even is. Granted, I don’t read any car buff books anymore, but even if I did, the alphabet soup... Imagine if they had a Coupe DeVille (as immortalized by the Beastie Boys) that…

Don’t get over a modern 300. Size can go up if getting something old/relatively the same power. The SV650 even is NOT a starter bike.

This page is of course biased towards the Ninjette, which is in fact an excellent starter bike (along with new bikes in the class) - because sporty bikes I’d say are a little safer…

Nothing new, can’t have the superior-balanced 914, 944, or Cayman being the dedicated track platform when the 911 is their bread and butter, at least from an image standpoint. Even if it’s pretty much Cayennes actually making them their money these days....

This is correct. As for Mr. Ratchet - I have a favorite saying (and I am losing it on how appropriate his screen name is for it) -

“Wherever you are, no matter what you are doing - always ask yourself, ‘Am I in the tool shed?’”

Plus, I hate to say it but there is way too much easily-available power these days for WAY too many idiots. I know this won’t be a popular opinion here, but it’s the simple truth. Particularly in the US, there is no expectation (regulatory or otherwise) that people actually have training in this kind of vehicle.

Motorcy…

Approximately as collectible as “spores, molds, and fungus.”

• 00:21:58 You got your sliced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, secret sauce.

The styling is just off, the proportions wrong. Looks like some kind of DNA malfunction involving an Audi TT, a Boxster, and a WRX.

Lest we forget how far Porsche has fallen:

And another thing. Anyone who thinks women can’t equal men on strength hasn’t been to a climbing gym.

Or in Chrysler’s case the chipmunks in and the oil...somewhere

And I’d give even more for a world where she actually would’ve had a fair shot in competition....

I’d give quite a bit to see Denise McCluggage wander down from wherever she’s currently wandering and slap the crap out of these 2 idiots.

“a bit of a sweaty one” - Jesus, so you’re sitting there all non-sweaty like? What’s the nigga gonna do, he’s Samoan.

You haven’t read the Gawker Media Style Guide have you?

#1 lane is closest to the centerline, at least in USA nomenclature.

Aaaand the Jalops wade in to call this guy stupid. Clearly there was no problem till he actually got pulled over.

Get the fuck off this site and learn to fucking DRIVE, bitches.

Just a hunch but might be different on the big track.

OH FOR FUCK’S SAKE. DO you HAVE to FUCKING SWEAR RIGHT THERE IN FRONT of EVERYONE?

JESUS H TAP DANCING CHRIST!

So, you haven’t encountered The Gawker Media Style Guide?

It’s a fucking motherfucker.
