the issue here is not so much that this is SponCon, but that it is not clearly labeled as such on the main page. you don’t see “Sponsored” until you click the link and even then it is in fairly small, low contrast type.

this type of content should be _clearly_ identified on the main page, before you click the link…

I used to own one, and I also have owned a honda FT500 ascot.  I love love love thumper roadbikes.

if you have to wind it out to 9000 RPM to keep up with the cars around you, it is too slow, especially for a beginner.. you are clearly an enormously tall person, so for you, visibility may not be an issue, but for me, I’d be looking square at the receiver hitch on the crowd killer F-250 in front of me and completely…

why didn’t they collect the eggs as soon as it was clear they weren’t coming back?  certainly some would have died between the abandonment and collection, but they could have at least tried rather than leaving the eggs to boil in the sun.

the grom is a fun little toy, but I would argue it is actually a terrible first bike. first off it is too slow to keep up with surface street traffic, it is too low to the ground both for you to see and to be seen, it doesn’t feel or handle like a “real” bike and to top it off it is too expensive for a first bike.…

some of the entries in the top table are out of date order. mileage entries could be simple typos

NP! 10/10 would hoon!  also pretty sure that’s a Lambo, dude.

de-contented models like this are what I refer to as “Bait and Switch” models. The dealer orders one, which he advertises the hell out of at an insanely great price to drive showroom traffic, fully intending to never sell by upselling customers to one that has things like AC and power windows and wheels.

I have…

at this point, David has personally documented more “holy grail” “rare configuration” grand cherokees than the total number of grand cherokees ever built.

it was hot, he figured he could get away with zipping it down a bit to get some more air, not thinking about the consequences of 200 mph on what just became an air intake, it forced the zipper the rest of the way down.

“The reason for the Atkinson cycle is because the engine is a hybrid”

you can make a hybrid just fine without it being Atkinson cycle, and you can make an Atkinson cycle that isn’t hybrid.  Additionally, most, if not all, modern “Atkinson” cycle engines are really just Otto engines with odd intake valve timing to…

while I would really prefer a “extra cab” with a longer bed instead of a crew cab, I wouldn’t be terribly surprised if the structural engineering necessary to make that work was a bridge too far on a unibody pickup.

if you look at all the work Honda had to do on the new ridgeline to get rid of the flying buttress, you…

bottom trim, no options, front wheel drive is $20k

priced the way you actually want it (XLT, awd (which forces the 2.0 ecoboost), 4000lb tow package (can’t get without awd and ecoboost), copilot360, FX4 package, 2.0 ecoboost) it still comes out at a fairly reasonable $30k (list)

a ranger XLT extra cab fx4 with the tow…

always liked these, fun little car, seems in decent shape, price seems high, but I suppose they are getting rare.

as mentioned in the article, beware the rust monster. when I was a kid (when these were new to the market) our church organist owned one that was about 2 years old and was already rusting. he kept it…

F-1 drivers regularly walk away from 50G decelerations in crashes. in fact, they don’t even call the medical car or have to go to the medical tent unless the sensors detect greater than 50g.

typical survival threshold is something like 100g for instantaneous accelerations (sub 3 msec) and 25g for prolonged…

another reason not to buy a Tesla.

fuck all insurance companies and fuck that driver monitoring bullshit.  there is not one chance in hell it actually saves _you_ money.

was never a fan of the original Katana (which came with cast wheels, not spokes as in your picture)

I think it was the start of the awful trend of bikes looking like sci fi styling exercises with bodywork for the sake of bodywork instead of for functional reasons. after the katana, it seems that all the bike makers…

1986, 180k on the chassis, someone else’s project == crack pipe

this is not a particularly collectable year, it isn’t original, was modded to be hooned and likely was.

maybe, _maybe_ at $2k.

it is possible to both be racist and fucking insane (violent racism is in itself a mental illness) (regular ass racism is not)

run it in winged shifter carts with MotoGP engines.

modern F1 cars are fucking stupid at monaco.

wild guess, this is something primarily done by black people, hence the GOP putting forward a law to ban it.

I would be in favor of a law that requires that a driver of average height with the seat set at the lowest position be able to see the surface of the road no more than (distance TBD) feet in front of the front…
