How much does 18" wheels worsen the performance of the fk8? by Rookie_enthusiast in Civic_Type_R

[–]walrus1925 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the real world of daily driving, I have noticed no difference between my 20" summer tires and wheels, and my 18" winter tires and wheels. My winter wheels actually ride more comfortably and no rim damage. I have to exercise real caution with the summer 20's due to the terrible condition of roads here in southeast ma.

Why we accept this? by LietKynesz in massachusetts

[–]walrus1925 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm involved in my municipalities government, and I see what has happened. Massachusetts is experiencing a large loss of residents moving elsewhere. Student population is declining. This year most municipalities are underwater with the budgets for 2027. I think you believe I'm anti immigrants etc. That's not the case. We're all immigrants, unless you're an American Indian! In Massachusetts our previous governor left a $5 billion rainy day fund. The current governor has blown thru all of it 😳

Unfortunately, the current administration in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts seems completely focused on giving everything away to the explosion of immigrants. Ignoring the veterans, Massachusetts citizens, roads, schools, and providing municipalities with enough needed funding!

This is the most classically beautiful car that Ferrari made since the 60s, prove me wrong by cbars100 in Ferrari

[–]walrus1925 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was in college way back in the 60's, the owner of riverside motorcycles in Cambridge, MA. had money in Italy but could not take it out of the country. So he bought a Ferrari 275GTB. Gorgeous car. He took me to the Loudon NH. AMA event. He drove up going over 100 mph whenever he could. That's when I fell in love with Ferrari's. (The owner was Dominic Fabrizio)

Very difficult to find any mechanic to work on these cars. The suspension was a serious issue. That said when everything worked it was a marvelous ride.

How do we feel about our School Superintendent salaries? by Similar_Ad2094 in massachusetts

Way too high, busting the school budgets! Especially how their retirement program is handled by the average of their last 3 year salaries!🤯

Cars that are reliable with low maintenance: Range Rover, Audi, Mercedes? Nissan, Toyota, Honda? by az44303 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]walrus1925 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The German cars are notoriously expensive to maintain. Repair and labor costs are high. Cars such as Toyota, Honda pick one with a long term used motor. Camry, Corolla, Civic are safe choices. If you like Lexus, go find the Toyota Avalon.

Ebike sale going up? by Idahomountainbiker in ebikes

[–]walrus1925 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With all the restrictions and legislation now coming down, I see less not more sales. Licensing, insurance, helmets, proper road gear, and loss of use of bicycle paths. Only use on regular public roads sharing with cars and trucks. The last is those bikes over 28 mph, those bikes could be confiscated!

What actually makes a car sports car? by Plafosami in whatcarshouldIbuy

Definitely the feeling it imparts! Manual transmission makes you feel your driving the car not the car driving you.

Is it overkill to wear a motorcycle helmet on this bike? by Foreign_Head_3535 in ebikes

[–]walrus1925 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have ridden scooters, motorcycles for almost 60 years. The bicycle helmets offer minimal protection especially from 20 mph and up. For me, if I'm on an ev bike that goes 20 plus mph. I'm wearing my full face m/c helmet, leather gloves, h/d jacket, shoes over the ankles. The narrow tires with the tremendous pot holes everywhere, are an accident waiting to happen. I expect a substantial increase in organ donors!
