Goddam dude! I just looked up Wranglers and I guess I had forgotten how expensive they are for what you get.....even though I was gonna buy one just a few months ago haha My memory is going quickly
What model did your high-rolling highness get? I hope it is a Rubicon Unlimited with every possible option.

What A Horrible Night To Have A Curse
Not lately, no time when buying/fixing a house! We were going every weekend at first, hopefully that'll start up again next week. But I don't really take many pictures whilst naturing, I become technophobic out in them thar hills.
It's just like this, but with a little more pizzazz:
Either that or a 2012 base model, zero options other than A/C, $23k plus tax! It is black though. It even came with tiny bike tires (since changed to some 32" street-ish rubber). After I clear out my bank account to fund house repairs I'll load up the credit card for some mud tires. Then I have to install the front swaybar disconnect system I bought, and if I ever see $2,500 of Free Money again, I'll re-gear to 4.10 and put a locker out back. That's all I ever want to do to it, it already takes me damn near everywhere I want to go.

i want one of those original, true mini cars
that way i can park like 18 motorcycles in front of it in the garage
then again im not sure what the point of such a small vehicle would be. i guess i could carry like 4 bananas from the supermarket instead of 1 on the motorcycle

What A Horrible Night To Have A Curse
The point of an original Mini is clearly to recreate every chase scene from The Italian Job on a daily basis. That movie rules.
I also like your motorcycle idea. Didn't you sell yours? Getting another one soon? I saw that Facebutt photo the other day.

Indeed, no doubt about that.
In more detail:
Indian Scout - Lots of tech goodies on it (usb port/bluetooth/etc), fantastic looks, great power to weight ratio for a "cruiser". Uses a belt drive. Biggest negative is price as there's a few things I'd put on it immediately that don't reflect in the base cost. Lack of availability is another negative as the Indian dealer that was close to be closed shop.
Triumph Street Triple R - Upright, road friendly version of the Daytona 675R supersport race bike. Incredibly light, maneuverable, and powerful. Unique looks, partially due to the newer style headlamps and revamped "sport" logo used on the non-classic bikes now. Negative is chain drive which sucks for maintenance when riding a lot. Can possibly get around this with a Scottoiler system.
Moto Guzzi - Simple. Air cooled engine. Very little instrumentation, doesn't even have a fuel gauge, etc. Shaft drive bike makes it the least maintenance. Negative is the absurd price for what is essentially an unchanged bike from ~30 years ago (compare price and features to the other two bikes), insufficient power, and availability.
Realistically it's between the Indian and Triumph at this point.

Reign in Acai
Of Elephant and Man
Went to Akhbar to have my oil changed this morning. Took well over an hour to have this done, as the nut on the pan itself was stripped. Akhbar offered me a new one for $12, and got to work. I was there for so goat damn long, that I jest ye not, a twenty-something pulled up in a red Camaro and asked me where he should park his ride. I guess given the size of my shnozola, he took me for one of Akhbar's brood. To make an uninteresting story short, turns out I need a new oil pan, as this shit's draining quicker than my kitchen sink. Estimated repair - $300. Fuck that!
Let it seep into the potholes beneath me.

Haven't had a problem yet. Just got a recall notice in the mail the other day but it was only if you got in an accident and feared your rear axle might have been damaged, so kind of a bogus recall? I haven't used her much in the past year, but I think she's over 30k miles
