    • New motorbike, who dis?

      247B49EB-7731-402E-9F1B-78F5D79AD33A.jpeg

      I decided that I wouldn’t use my track Miata aka Elmo to his full potential so I posted it up on FBM last Wednesday. After a very short test drive by a guy who could barely fit in the car (super tall and lanky) I got a deposit on Thursday after work. After the new owners came to pick him up, I went to our mutual CU and cashed the check. Left there feeling like a baller with an envelope of crisp bills.

      I’ve been thinking about getting back into a “big” bike for a bit and was following this 2007 GSA on FBM. This generation of GSA is my favorite and a bike that I actually test drove back in 2008/09 thinking that I should be stupid and sell my soul for a $20k motorcycle.

      Price was $8500 when I first saw it. The asking price slowly went down to $7000 on Saturday.

      Since I was in the general vicinity of the seller on Saturday afternoon I asked to come check it out.

      The seller was the second owner. He told me a bit about it’s history and that it went down to Argentina and back as well as out to Newfoundland with the original owner. He said he went out west with it.

      My only question to him was “what’s your lowest price?” He immediately dropped it to $6000 since he pointed to a boat he just bought. 😂

      I said I’d be back on Sunday with cash.

      With a fellow Cardork™️ Motonerd™️ buddy as my one way Uber, old riding gear in my lap and fat stacks in my pocket; I picked up the two wheeled SUV.

      I present to my fellow Oppos, Felix the adventure bike.

      PS - I bought lots on new gear already..helmet, riding jacket, airbag vest, Bluetooth comms. 😂😂😂

    • Spotted at my doctor's office this morning.

      I was wearing my Bronco jacket at the time. 😂

    • A Group B kind of Saturday.

      Went to my local car magazine/die cat shop to catch the tail end of their cars and coffee (nice 550 Spyder rep and '65 Mustang) then stopped by the Braid Wheel USA HQ.

      Got to mess with this on the scales.

      It's a replica powered by a 2.3 EcoBoost lump. RWD with a Subaru 6 speed transmission. An old rallycross and stage rally friend owns it.

      2500 lbs but it's for heavy Sparco seats and a lot of sound/heat insulation.

    • First “real” ride on the GSA.

      Went to a local cars and coffee meet this morning with a car/moto buddy of mine. He’s got the Ducati GT1000 in the background.

      Still getting used to the size/weight of the GSA. He’s a big boy.

      Also, had to rep Oppo on my new lid.

      Only bad thing was the zipper on my brand new Alpinestars Andes v3 jacket broke. Emailed the vendor and Alpinestars to see about getting the situation sorted.

      So my donation a while back went to sponsor a Lambo race car?

      I guess that's cool but why wasn't I invited to drive? Who the fck is this Roger Dubuis guy? Why did he get to drive over me? I am a former REGIONAL autocross champion. 😒

    • My HS JDM "dream" car

      The EXY10 Toyota Sera.

      Got to drive one once as another evaluation car...now I have the opportunity and means to get one to sit in my garage, hopefully not as a stillborn project. 7892DA4A-CEED-4634-AE83-5A1621B75C2C.jpeg

      Sure as sh*t, that thing's got a GPS tracker and a remote cut off on it.

    • RE: late night oppo

      Never really been a fan of Tommy Kaira styling. IMO, it makes it too blocky in appearance.

      The movie Cars took note of the rear wing though...

    • RE: Prodrive P25

      Yeah @drVanTraveler it's definitely an ornament for the 1%'ers.

      Lots of my Subaru biased friends are all gaga over it but damn...don't phone it in like that. Show your technical prowess Prodrive...you're better than just this.

    • Prodrive P25

      alt text

      https://www.thedrive.com/news/prodrives-subaru-impreza-sti-restomod-is-the-22b-of-our-dreams

      I've been a Subaru fanboi since many of you kids were in diapers and I'm disappointed with this "restomod"

      IMO, Prodrive should have done something with more "modern" technology. Keep the ICE engine and couple it with some sort of hybrid drivetrain. Model it after the WRC Rally1 hybrid set up.

      I'm confident that Prodrive has the engineering knowhow to do something like this, especially at the price tag it's fetching.

    • RE: I'm spending the weekend in LA ...

      @Darkbrador find Spike's Car Radio on your favourite podcast host. Lieberman is an automotive journalist for Motor Trend. Spike is a writer/comedian for Seinfeld and Zuckerman is a rich attorney that's friends with both. Zuckerman is hilarious IMO.

      Petersen museum is a must. Maybe check out the C&C up at Bill's in Malibu? Stalk Jonny Lieberman's house? Throw eggs at Spike Ferestein's Defender? Give Zuckerman a high five for me?
