Your next car

I hope my Crossfire lasts forever.

I'll have no clue until the current one dies. Probably a midsize SUV, need room for two large dog crates and AC. Other than that I'm not to picky.

For fun I'd like to have a cyclecar for the milder weather. Unfortunately the one I've been looking at is not in production yet.

That's the one. Heard anything about them you'd like to pass on? My guess is that being first year production there will be some design flaws. Still, at 10K it would be a fun indulgence.

A bro of mine has a teenagers hard-on for one. He has a deposit on one of the first production units.

I dunno. With gas prices down - it may be a while.

I'll stick to my outta production Saturns.

If I wanted a motor vehicle, it probably wouldn't have four wheels. I'd get something like a Honda Ruckus. No idea of how to post a picture of one.

Took a look at those.

I never understood the allure of such small bikes. It always seemed to me that it' s just as dangerous, if not even more so as a full sized bike. With a bigger bike you get better acceleration, handling and braking. 

But both are just as exposed to the idiots who tend to run into you.

But hey - go with what you like.

You might not please me - but if it pleases you - that' s what counts.

Something like this in a diesel.  I need something that can tow at least four tons.

I have a 3500 deisel. It’s a dually. The gas mileage is awful but it can pull anything I wanna pull.

What you haul?


I used to tow a 3800 lbs sailboat with an 83 Olds Cutlass.... Go was easy. Stop, a bit trickier...

It is true that they are not safer. But they are cheap and rugged. They get like 114 mph (but probably closer to 100 mph with my fat ass on them). I've had larger bikes. You know, like up to 800 cc, so not real large. I admit that I do like the faster acceleration. But the fuel mileage becomes more like that of a sub-compact car. I bought a Ruckus when I lived on the Big Island of Hawaii and really loved it.
