    It is! I have been using a mustache for more than 10 years now, and I don't plan on ever removing it, hahaha.

    Thanks! I had a lot of fun, and, even though it was expensive, I thought the experience was totally worth it.

    I have a question for Dual-sport/Enduro riders here. What kind of temp gauge should I use for my water-cooling system. Are the radiator cap gauges good? Can they hold the cooling system pressure? Should I get an inline one? I don't know... please help

    welp, how do we feel about the Hyundai Aztek? (aka the Initium Concept)

    upload_2024-10-31_21-11-5.jpeg

    i honestly think the design itself is alright. its not really that tragic, but you can definitely tell the designers took inspiration from Pontiac (i wonder if it has a tent too)
    as far as practicality is concerned, it might be interesting, especially with the way the roof line goes down around the trunk area. it does have a roof rack-ish abomination with lights on it, so i guess you could possibly use that? idk, might just be a style decision


    one huge issue i see with it though: Hyundai is planning on making it a FCEV. and while i do really want to bet on hydrogen being a reasonable choice in the future, its simply fucked right now, and i seriously feel like it'll take at least a decade before it can really be seen as a reasonable alternative (i still feel like it would be best to make a non-polluting fuel that can be used by most existing cars on the road right now) so really, unless Hyundai manages to magically summon a ton of hydrogen fuelling stations around the world, i feel like the car's kind of doomed from the start. and to the 2 owners of a Mirai and a Nexo i saw this year: i wish you luck. as for the car itself, i feel like if it had a ICE, or even a BEV system, it could have a chance on the market. but with it being hydrogen, i seriously doubt it'll sell well

    Agreed. If they made it a PHEV or BEV, it would be a far more successful vehicle.

    As for the styling, Im a fan.

    In my totally unbiased opinion, it's a cool car, although I'm not a fan of these coupé SUVs

    I also agree with you on hydrogen vehicles, I don't think we're "there" yet

    Man, new trucks are so nice.
    And I don’t know if that’s a good thing. I don’t want to use it for work because I might scratch or dent it.

    Large rim with low profile tires is uncomfortable and inefficient

    Concepts often use oversized wheels, I'm sure they'd use smaller wheels in an eventual production model

    I'm selling my Eagle.
    And on that bombshell...
    Three likes but no responses??
    C'mon, guys.

    Anyways...
    I'm trying to buy this. Partially the reason I'm selling the Eagle. '76 Chrysler New Yorker Brougham four-door hardtop. I've always wanted one of these.
    $6,000, here's the description from the listing:
    "1976 Chrysler New Yorker brougham, new tires with about 500 miles, brand new fuel tank/fuel pump, lines, brand new brakes rotors and pads up front, new rear lines, brand new aluminum radiator, new water pump. Very nice car for its age, was purchased off Steve heitmans auction a few years back. Any other questions call Kieth @ [hidden information] he owns the car I’m just posting it for him. Thanks"
    The auction mentioned was just a huge amount of Chrysler C-Bodies (what this car is) and some tractors. Here's the link: 50 VINTAGE CARS & TRACTORS FOR STEVE & JODI HEITMAN – Maring Auction Co.
    Here are the phots. Do y'all think this would be a good buy?
