We’re staring down 10-12" of snow in the next 24 hours, and “I wish I had 4WD” is not even a thought that enters my head, but “I’m glad I bought snow tires” is. Also, “I’m glad my car still has a manual hand-brake.”

Rather bland compared with the DS9 concept promised a few years ago

Even on WiFi, using Safari and going on Jalopnik is impossible, the site literally freezes up. Brave makes it better, but it breaks comments.

Yes to both arguments!

I was 16 when this turd hit the market, and I H-H-H-HATED them. Just wrong in so many ways, especially when the vastly more cool Gremlin was available for your American Motors fix. Now approaching geezer-hood, I find them quirky and endearing, kind of like a Nissan Juke. Nostalgic and irrational;

It’s a simple idea, and renting instead of owning is the way to go here. I know several people with Zoes and they’re all happy with them.

I thought those wings were absurd until I saw it with the bikes!! 

You don’t even have to do that. Just look for a bike away from large population centers. I picked up a 2 year old mountain bike for $200 because the guy never rode it and it was taking up space in his garage. Learn from your experiences with your Baja Bug. Buy a solid foundation and go from there. 

As a shadetree bike mechanic who has built a few dozen bikes, and maintains a hodgepodge assortment of 10(ish) vintage bikes at any given time, I dig this post.

Idid the same with a 1994 ticycles frame. the only original part is the headset. :)

You’re not alone. There are a few of us here. When we were in our early 20's it was a badge of honor when the bike on the roof of your car cost more than the car. 

Only if you whine about how it has to have a manual or it’s worthless.

It even has brown wheels. This is pretty much a manual transmission away from Jalop perfection. I’m surprised it doesn’t come with a manual at least in Europe, but maybe I shouldn’t be.

Obviously intended for the Boston trade show.

If there’s one maker that’s not afraid to add some more dents/creases to make it work, it’s Honda!

What in the fuck did I just watch

must have just come back from the bathroom, they have one of those Magic Eye posters in there

Those crazy #Brands! What won’t they do?

I take it by 1982 they had nixed the “spaceship” option.
