Dem bicicletas dos, doe.

If you have good cold weather gear I find riding acceptable down to about 30 degrees. Below that no thanks.

That said I haven’t touched a bike since like August. Too much going on with the house, pregs wife, general chaos.

I hope I can buy a road bike next year for road ride friends.

1 - ITS

3 - Nissan Z (Although 2 of those sightings might have been the same person)
3 - GR Rolla
I’m more amazed by the new Z. I still haven’t seen a single one.

Gberg's Alpo Gorf with a bit of Plac Profit

Rage4 needs tires according to the :dillerman: . He says they're at 4/32 but I'll check it myself when I get it home. Only have 38k on it so it seems odd to need tires now. Anyone know of a decent crossover tire? The Michelin Primacy A/S that came with it kinda sucked. Falken Wildpeak A/T Trail. ht...

Gberg's Alpo Gorf with a bit of Plac Profit

4/32 seems ok for another 5k miles. And getting 40k+ out of a set of tires seems decent. I like Yokohama tires. They are decent quality and about 20-30% cheaper than the French man. Been running them on the tsx for the last 2 years I wonder if there's any difference between regular all seasons and ...

Car Talk 6: Best of times and Worst of Times

I vaguely remember reading on a forum that people are taking the chassis control module from the ITS and bolting it to the CTR to make the dampers more reasonable on the street. I have no interest in a CTR. Latest crush is an Audi A6. I can’t afford any of that tho. Daddy’s new house needs a new HV...

Car Talk 6: Best of times and Worst of Times

This still doesn’t make me want a Hype R any less. Obviously AWD+DSG nets a much faster launch in the R but I wouldn’t want DSG either way. It’s a little odd that the Civic kinda dies in the top end but also doesn’t really matter. Even most tracks I have access to will top out around 120-130, VIR a...

This was a great article in the latest C&D. Zero-150mph-Zero. https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/a45765297/0-150-0-mph-speed-test-2023/ Kind of like the trap speed in the 1/4 mile tells you how much SRS motor you have, this test separates the wheat from the chaff in terms of baller power and ...

Truck and towing are not synonymous. Yes trucks CAN tow, but last i checked that's not their only use. And yes a F150 lighting can tow better than a F450 dually for short distances, does that make all gasoline/diesel trucks shit? No. The scenario for long distance towing is the only one where this ...

I’m interested to hear more about the truck. I’m actually super interested in the Ram with the v6 generator concept. Sounds pretty ideal. But for normal person truck duty I am confident the lightning will be just fine.

Yea the middle arrangement is quite epic. You use the belt instead of isofix this allows you to keep the front seats in place and essentially keeps both back seats usable as well. 5/7 workaround Plus huge cheerio lob verandas on each side. :notbad: A blank canvas Man my rear seat area is all Cocoa ...
