• Pick'em Site? (2/2)

    case it's stubborn. Can get some seriously impressive mileage
    out of 'em, and the engine will likely outlive you and me put
    together.

    Never really considered a diesel....

    One... I *think* it was a Volvo C30 or something... came in a
    miserly diesel that could get something like 62mpg(!!!), whereas
    the gasoline version was like 28-29 or something. I was looking
    for one here, and no one seems to carry it, though, as it might
    be a Europe-only version. **WHY** isn't that being sold *here*,
    then??

    Steering wheel on the wrong side?! Oh, that's british -- nevermind!


    If all you care about is 4-wheels in a wrapper, any econobox will
    do, so if you want to get some road-rat like a Yarus or whatever,
    that may suit you just fine. A cow-orker has/had a Ford Focus
    that seemed pretty decent. If you don't care about the wrapper,
    hey, a motorcycle can work just fine. Keep the current car for
    bad weather and keep additional wear'n'tear to a minimum, take
    the bike most of the time otherwise. ---

    Motorcycle would have to have electric start with my leg, even before
    the fracture. ...The 2010 Ford Focus in Sterling Grey's not bad... not
    getting a brand new one, though. ...Played a bit with their payment
    estimator -- only $281 / month!

    Motorcycle would have to have electric start

    They're all electric start now.

    Wouldn't recommend a m/c for the following....

    Winter. Nuff said.

    Minimal carrying capacity.

    High learning curve.

    Rain.

    I've never exclusively had a m/c since the '70's. Wouldn't think of it.

    Hi Dan!

    Motorcycle would have to have electric start
    They're all electric start now.

    Wow! ...Even the hogs the rough-looking bikers have? Just doesn't seem
    quite right ==> they're supposed to give their bike a jumping kick
    start, not a twist of the key!!

    Wouldn't recommend a m/c for the following....

    Winter. Nuff said.

    Here has snowed before Halloween and as late as mid-May.

    Minimal carrying capacity.

    Think I'll stop at the store for a pint of milk! <g>

    High learning curve.

    There might be days....

    Rain.

    That might take care of several monre months.

    I've never exclusively had a m/c since the '70's. Wouldn't think
    of it.

    I think I'd enjoy one for recreational usage, but then I'm not one to do
    the "Sunday afternoon drive".

    Saw this many years ago....

    A guy about 5' 1" and 110 pounds walks up to a big Harley. I watched, ready for a laugh as he tried to kick-start it. Instead he jumped on it, turned the

    key, and off he went.
