I'm strangely ok with that

Wow, I had no clue
I'm not sure what I'm doing, I had thought maybe hitting the Honda show in Albion with the CRX-Si
But I suspect if the weather is nice, I would prefer to be on the VFR, maybe a run out to Geneva is in order
Thanks for posting this

Such is life I guess.
People are assholes
Sorry to hear about JJ's car

How many years old?
What brand?

I love pics of Hogan's Golf TDI. That thing must be one torque monster with that diesel engine

Don't forget, the Singapore Grand Prix is on this weekend. The timing will be the same as Europe and as of now rain is predicted. A wet, night race should be cool.

Heinz debuts a car-friendly ketchup packet. I think that will go very well with the fry-pod in my cupholder. Car foodies of the world can rejoice now

Slightly less than 4 years old. Not sure of the brand. It came from Autozone. I charged it overnight and got nothing when I put it back in the bike this morning.

For years I just bought the cheap batteries as I think they are just as good if not better than the costly ones from the bike shop
I think the one in the Nighthawk came from Sam's Club
Typically I would get 3 to 5-years out of them
Sounds to me like you are off to Autozone or K-mart or something like that today
