I once had a GPS tell me I have “reached my destination” right over the main Union Pacific train track.

Some people are - well, I won’t call it “Rock Stupid” but no common sense? 

Some of Suze’s “advice”:

1. “Boost your credit score.....”

2. “Buy on the cheap....”

(I’m taking notes)

I’m surprised Harley is financing its own motorcycles. Never heard of another manufacturer doing this.

Considering the fact that some years ago it almost downed a British Air 747 with all 4 engines stopped, , that was probably a prudent move.

To this day, I haven’t liked Honda dealers. In the late 70s the Civic was hot and most dealers had the attitude that they didn’t care whether you were there or not.

One told me “They are XXXX, if you want one we want a XXXX deposit, and put your name on the list”.

I realize all of this is supply and demand; there will…

Those people are beyond stupid. They shouldn’t be allowed to breed. 

It’s simple supply and demand. And I was going to ask how the manufacturer knows what the retail prices is - and you gave the means - but what is to keep them from colluding and lying on the notarized document?

But you are right - the simplest thing is to build enough cars to satisfy the demand.

It’s like Corvettes…

Only one who could afford that thing would be another billionaire. I can imagine that thing sucking you dry just....sitting somewhere. You’d even have a hard time renting it out - who could afford such a thing? Even the hourly cost to run?

Expanding on what @wizard Nutstorm said about motor swaps, anyone who wants to swap a (fill in blank) to another (fill in blank) and thinking it will just be a simple thing.  And sometimes for the dumbest reasons of all. Just because they feel like doing it.

I had a friend whose uncle would deliberately dress like a bum (casual?) when he went car shopping. Most ignored him but the one who didn’t - he paid cash - on the spot. And let the other salesmen know.

Those who want to flash their wealth usually .... aren’t wealthy. Can’t think of anything dumber than this guy…

The little head wasn’t listening to the big head! Dumb on many levels. 

Popper sounds like he did his part to escalate it. With so many unhinged people out there it is best to avoid eye contact and don’t use counter aggressive moves. If he had just tried a friendly wave instead of “brake checking “ the other driver...It might have ended there.

If nothing else, it looks like he put that…

Everyone who bought a ticket after that crash had that disclaimer on the ticket. Life is a risk.

I don’t have a count with the Isle of Man TT, but I must have gone up there 2 dozen times since the late 70s and never saw an accident (fortunately). They had many years with no accidents. Personally, I think it is a combination of these planes getting faster with pilots blacking out and then going who-knows-where.

Whe…

I have only ridden on a motorcycle twice and actually drove one once. The one I drove was a 70s era Honda 750, and the sensation I had was like trying to sit on top of a spinning top. It didn’t seem to have a low center of gravity.

My most memorable ride as a passenger was years ago in the Army, while stationed in…

I had a Pinto - bought new in 1972. It was a fun little car to drive - had the optional German 2 liter OHC engine (standard was the British Kent OHV 1600 CC) - and a 4 speed. Cost $3 to fill. My only complaint was that the body was a bit flimsy - I could literally push the front fender while washing the car.

Years ago, while in the Army stationed in Germany, a friend bought a Norton 750 Commando. I can remember sitting on the back of that thing as he shifted and my butt started sliding precariously towards the back of the seat. Meanwhile wide-eyed Germans in Fiats and Opels were staring at us as we flew past them.

I can’t…

Reminds me of the Jalopnik story of the seller who wanted to flip a Honda Civic - he paid the dealer MSRP + dealer markup, then wanted to sell it at that inflated price plus his own markup.

Basic economics at work.

Why buy it from this guy when you can get one for a less inflated markup - and it isn’t a “used car”?

As…

What a beautiful engine - F1 technology for a street car and surprisingly, so little maintenance required. Only oil changes?

Only thing this video lacked after such a wonderful “show and tell” was hearing it on a dyno!

Hardly a surprise when you consider depreciation rates and the extended rates of most car loans. That’s why I have always liked used cars. Let someone else pay the depreciation.
