There's nothing about AMD Ryzen CPU's that will create any issues, they've been more reliable and better value than Intel for years now (and don't mysteriously degrade in performance over time). It's a bit more complicated for the GPU, as programs like Premiere Pro can use the AI CUDA cores...

No clue on what the actual price would be here, just that there is a BYD model in China that has a ~300 km range that sells for around $14k CAD. Once you add various safety certifications etc, I'd expect that price to at least double, but that's still cheaper than all but the most budget ICE...

Taking the 100% tariff off of Chinese EV's would make them instantly affordable, but would be problematic for the various EV factories they're trying to get built in Ontario. Still, if the US and Euro automakers kowtow to Trump's demands, those are DOA anyway, so we might as well enjoy the...

Not unique to Ford. We cross-shopped the Maverick and Ridgeline, and I was interested in a more base model Honda. Was told nothing for at least a year, but they had plenty of the Black models available at a roughly 20% premium from $50k to $60k, if I recall. Looking at theit website now...

I assume the Express version with the tall cabin and smaller cockpit? Not a lot of hiding space in a normal one, just a single cozy berth. If it's the Express, that's a lot of boat for a motor under 5 litres. I looked at repowering my 20 out of curiosity, and rebuilt 5.7's with the twin barrel...

To be fair, the video is a lot more nuanced than that. He breaks down a bunch of the elements, from design, movement, dial, finishing, etc. And he doesn't dismiss Rolex, Zenith, JLC, and up watches, as he owns quite a few. He covers how some cost is purely in the exclusivity of a brand, but a...

I've always thought that black 1545 on a bracelet with the curtain dial was excellent value... Another great video from YouTube's most clear-eyed watch guy: Basically uses watches in the $1-3k USD bracket to break down what you're paying for and where the value is in the watch world...

Log into Facebook A few battle scars on the starboard hull, but otherwise a pretty clean bike for a fair price. Never the belle of the ball, but with the vestiges of old Honda build quality and a pretty significant amount of oomph, you could do a lot worse. Also saw a beauty Triumph Sprint...

I was all set to write a diatribe about how they just don't make 'em like they used to, but then I Googled "registered vehicle average age". Turns out vehicle average age on the road has increased steadily since the '70s, from around 7 years then to a record of over 12 years in the US and 10...

That's the deal these ones are coming off of. They have a similar one for the Polestar 3's at $900/mo, which is still cheap but only if you consider the $120,000 base price reasonable...

DOT 5.1 in the track bike needs changed a lot more often. Spending $25 to save unnecessary changes is a bargain for me, even if it's to get a sense of how often changes are actually required. I don't want to be figuring that out when the lever comes to the bar at the end of the back straight...

Cool tool. Had no idea they existed. Though based on the reviews, it seems the extra $15 for this one is well worth it. Mine arrives tomorrow...

Doesn't bother me in the least, as I like having some screen real estate that's not touchscreen lets you have a spot for an anchor finger when using the screen on the move. It's not like the screen is too small, they're already verging on ridiculous. Then again, I personally despise modern car...

This forum needs an 'unmoved by a dad joke' reaction option, like this: 😐

Heads up to anyone interested, a batch of the one-year-lease 2024 Polestar 2's have gone back to the dealership Toronto, and they're selling for about $45k, most with super low mileage. A neighbour bought one (he works for Auto Trader and is a total car nut), and absolutely loves it so far. If...

My experience in Italy is there's a sharp divide between urban riders (mostly on some variant of scooter) and big bike riders who ride for pleasure, not necessity. The urban riders are very much NOTGATT, with the exception of an unstrapped helmet, as that's the minimum under the law. To be fair...

I have the L2 ghost armor in the elbows of my mesh jacket, and I really love it. It has a fabric backing that I find helps it slide around a bit less when wearing, and it's extremely pliable so you barely notice it's there. Much nicer than the regular L2 armour that came in my Bull-It jeans...

A neighbour went to the final show in Birmingham, said it was incredible. He also said Ozzy was fighting tears through a lot of it. Definitely someone who lived for being in stage, and was born to do it. I saw him twice with Sabbath on their last two tours (the 13 and The End tours), and even...

Brakes are for p*ssies. Full send, baby! (Oh and if you do your wheelies right, you replace your fork seals when you replace your oil...)

I've tried similar in less dangerous situations, and it's amazing how hard it is to communicate that someone has their high-beams on or has left a signal on. Most seem to perceive any communication as a threat and do their best to studiously ignore. Then again, I was driving along the coast in...
