A dream cycle ride. Unbearable lightness of being.

(I cannot cycle but).

Aw I thought this was going to be about theme park rides.

I'm kind of a 'anything that gets me to point B from point A will do' kind of person. I have 2010 honda fit that is nice because it really does fit easily into any parking lot and still has good hatchback size.

A red and yellow trike I had with a cat face on the front when I was five. Those were the days.

Whoa! I forgot about those days.

I loved this bike. My grandfather worked for Schwinn and got it for me at a discount. Now it's a cult favorite and worth some bucks.

My Formula Arcobaleno, better than drugs, not as good as great sex.

The Mrs....

I have no recollection of any such ride, likely as a result of expenses incurred.

 

[Trackdayguy]

For a moment I thought you might be referring to the opposite sex..........

Is that an Indy Mini?

Yes

 

[SalixIncendium]

Yes

Nice! Are you still active? I follow Indy, but I'm not familiar with the mini schedule. Where you compete? Do you make it out to Ohio?

Damn, that looked like a rough ride. Nice run, though!

You actually admit to owning a Gremlin? Have you no shame at all????

Mitsubishi Expo.
Ugly. But sturdy, cheap and reliable.
I could put a full sized washing machine in that puppy and drive interstate getting 30mpg.
My partner thought it looked like a toaster on steroids. I called it "my burro".

I remember a Christmas when we got two feet of dense snow on Christmas Eve. The city gifted us with a three foot tall wall of ice at the end of our street. We packed up The Burro, got a running start, and through the snow it got enough speed to climb over the dam and got us to Mom's, with food, presents, and booze, in plenty of time for dinner.
Love that front wheel drive.

Doug's beautiful and expensive Mustang couldn't find it's way out of the driveway with both hands. Trust me, I pointed this out.
Over and over...
