    Got a new Motorcycle on the way!

    I sold my Ducati Monster 1200S a month ago thinking I wasn't riding it enough and right after I sold it the itch came back... I've been eyeing the Panigale 1299S for quite some time... Well Ducati announced the 90th anniversary (Of Ducati's existence) special edition of the 1299 S called the...

    I made a terrible mistake, I drove a new 911 Carrera...

    Right now I have two cars, and Audi Q5 TDI and a Tesla Model S 85D. The Tesla I love driving and it's the perfect family wagon for my family (My 80 pound dog fits happily in the back). The Audi Q5 is a competent car, but I hate driving it. The transmission is slow to shift and the turbo lag...

    Washed my Ducati after putting on a Full Termignoni Exhaust System on (Updated)

    Finally got the full Termi system on my Ducati Monster 1200S. It sounds amazing, it's not so much louder (I still have the noise plug/DB Killer in) it feels like I've unlocked the bass that I remember hearing in the older Ducatis (like the 996). I'm going to the dealer today so they can...

    About to order a Ducati Monster 1200S, should I get white or red? (UPDATED)

    About to pull the trigger on a Ducati Monster 1200S. Trying to figure out if I want White or Red. Red is classic Ducati, but the White (only available on the S) is unique and I was a big fan of it on the 848 and 899 sportbikes. Here's some pics of it. Both Colors...

    I got a new Jeep!

    After the blizzard last week (I'm south of Denver) my car (2003 Dodge Neon) and my wife's (2005 MINI Cooper) were pretty much useless as we had about 18" of snow where I live and they didn't plow our neighborhood. So we took the initiative and traded in my Neon and picked up a 2007 Jeep...

    If you could would you tip a vending machine?

    Vending machines work 24hrs a day 7 days a week. While most waiters/waitresses work 6-8 hours. Sounds to me that they need the tip more badly.

    Well, screw waiting for the Rebel XT I'm getting the 20D tomorrow!

    Looking at the current rebel line, I didn't get the impression that the next rebel is going to be any better construction and quality wise. So I decided that I'll just pony up the extra money for a 20D. I'll like the extra speed and focus points. Another bonus is my cousin has a few EF lenses...

    Me and my gf are looking to order a MINI cooper, but the wait-list here in Denver is almost a year. But, I visited my Aunt in Kansas City, and found out that the average wait is a month. Is there a penalty for buying out-of-state? Do I have to pay sales tax? Thanks
