I like it. Hell, I didn’t know about the Kalk, which would totally be up my alley. Small electric bike/scooter thing? Sweet! But then I went to their site.

At about $5000 USD for the basic Ösa Lite, sorry, but I’d be buying a Grom, Monkey or a Z125 if I’m looking for a light bike to haul along with the trailer.

Shhhhh. . .

Are we sure this isn’t the other way around?

The same people who would buy a CBR650R versus the CBR600RR: someone who drives mostly on the street and is willing to give up those two tenths for a shitload of day to day refinement, comfort and practicality.

Another way of looking at it is you get the M2 if your “fun car” is also your daily. You get the GT350R if…

So you LS-swap a new Supra. . . and it’s now more Toyota than when you started? Shit, I don’t even know which way is up anymore.

Nonconsensual pornography should be treated like a privacy violation, Heard writes, much like the sharing of medical records or Social Security numbers.

Soooooo. . . “Too bad, so sad, I feel for you, happened to my cousin buuuuuut clean up your own mess there, buddy. Here’s a broom. Good luck to ya?” I get the…

Isn’t it more a situation where both statements are correct?

I thought in the RWD-based cars, xDrive actually denoted a specific design of AWD at least, which I believe the current iteration is open diffs front and rear with brake-controlled wheel spin and an electronically controlled transfer case. (Some…

Oh joy, another liter-bike race replica. The only thing in the sportsbike world I currently give two butts about is whether we’ll get the ZX-25R stateside.

I kinda hold the reverse opinion. The GT-R’s no surprise as there’s not a whole helluva lot different between the initial model years and one you can buy new. You’re only getting a “discount” on the usage as the styling and performance is essentially the same. I’d hedge a bet once the GT-R everyone really wants…

Which has stick?

Thanks for the honest assessment. I’ve got an xDrive, because Pennsylvania, and I’ve read a few horror stories. . . Mostly due to the added cost of moving the front pumpkin for half of the engine maintenance. I loved my GTO but I was largely land-locked if snow came through (because the Bruces down in Oz had only…

Ouch, that is deep in labor of love territory. I picked up the 335i in February with about 100K less miles and am fortunate enough to have access to a lift. (I’ve got a couple friends who are mechanics with their own shops and a couple coworkers who are, let’s just say, hardcore home-gamers. . . )

Accessory belt,…

Just curious, what are the big ticket items there? Still newish to the whole BMW thing but from my experience so far a lot of the horror stories about cost and reliability are overblown.

I picked up an E90 335i xDrive early this year, mine’s a 2011 with an N55. I’ve read the N54 can be a money pit until you iron…

Not sure where you’re. . . . oh, oh, oooooh. . . . Not to ask a personal question, but are you a Mazdist by any chance? I’ve soooo many questions. . . Does 1+1 really equal Miata according to the faithful? Have you ever answered “MX-5" when they asked for your order at McDonald’s? Which circumstances is “Eunos…

If I could’ve found an E90 335i xDrive wagon with a stick stateside. . . . HHrrrrrnnngh!

(I’m not sure if that combo was sold elsewhere but I know people have made the swap happen.)

There’s a solid chance it was legit. This should be able to be imported using the “Substantially Similar” clause. Long story short: it’s more or less identical to every Civic sold in the States from a safety and emissions standpoint, and as we actually do(did) assemble the same generation of Civics here, there’s not…

Ah, the Expedite/Kallax. Is there no need it can’t accomodate, which is why everyone and their mother made a brand-x knockoff. I’ll second this idea, and IKEA sells all sorts of inserts (e.g. doors, drawers, shelves. . . ) to spruce them up. I’ve got a bunch of them in various sizes, serving as nightstands, vinyl recor…

Bra-fucking-vo.

Sadly, no.  Don’t have the spare space for another toy at the moment.
