Favorite bikes are Ducati's, bar none.

In looking up Ducati's again though, it seems they've made one that competes with my V-Rod!

Ducati XDiavel



I still like the looks of my customized V-Rod better, but with the money I customized the V-Rod with, what could I have done with an XDiavel if they'd had it!

I know, two wheels, off topic. Sorry!

Now that Ducati has a version of my V-Rod, might be time to sell the FR-S after only a month (two weeks in the shop), and start an XDiavel build! Oregon's a great place for a custom motorcycle build, I learned that last time.

You have NO idea how much I want to go to Dirtfish! I probably couldn't fit in their cars though

I may be the very last to know, but Dirtfish uses the twins for RWD training! I can fit in one of those!!!

**edit** After seeing them, maybe I need to build my FR-S into a rally car instead of what everyone else's looks like!!!

And more bad news, yes, they're BRZ's, but they're racing seats, so maybe I wouldn't fit. About 6 hours of driving to go check. Emailed first

In 3S I'd have a 90% chance I kill myself within the first month. In the regular NA 230 hp only about 25%, that risk I'd take, I think .

There are so many amazing vehicles to choose from and I feel like my answer would change every time I was asked. I lust after supercars and the Pagani and Koenigsegg,g,g,g are up there, but per the rules this is a daily driver and the idea of a low slung supercar just won't hunt as a DD. I need ground clearance, a trunk and something I could maintain with vice grips and a hammer. It was my first love at the tender age of four and I keep coming back to it in some form or another. Really, any 68 Camaro would make me happy, but we are dreaming here so 427 big block with a "rockcrusher" four speed.
