"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
Its not a Car, and its not a Bike. Its pure awesome!

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

I was talking to a guy who works for the California manufacturer and he says that it will be available in either 2009 or 2010 for about $20k. Can you imagine a drunken college underclassman driving one of those things? :nervous:joekerr31 said:

Hopefully you're agile enough to avoid it.g g g unit said:
This would be more like a fun vehicle, not the thing you get around with. Lots of people have junker cars for going to work, and then their really nice car they go out with. I could see driving this around on weekends as one hell of a time.
"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

It's still probably safer than a motorcycle. Seems like it's easier to drive too. I'd love to have one. 20k is way too high though.g g g unit said:

Just get a motorcycle. After you ride a litre sport bike, everything else is slow by comparison.
"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
This reminds me of my father's German Messerschmidt. It was a 3-wheeled car that had two wheels on front and one in the back. It looked like a little helicopter. As a child he used to take me for rides around the neighborhood and I thought I was going to be killed each time since it always felt like it was going to tip over. I'll bet it would be worth a fortune today if he had kept it.Ace of Flames said:

haha, or 160ish the other day, yeah speed is fun.Sun Tzu said:
I am starting to learn that there are different types of speed, though: like straight-line drag, cornering and handling, and top end top speed. The gearing and suspension setups can be very different when trying to maximize one kind of speed over the other. My other speed interest besides bikes has been Chevy V8 engine swaps into Nissan Z cars. If any of you want to go fast for cheap, check out a hybrid Z like this one:

Got one, I think I'm gonna get a GTR-1400 next. I've been riding bikes for 35 years, the thrill isn't gone but the new is surely worn off.Bible_Belt said:

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

I thought the newer ones were. Maybe it was a different company with the same type of vehicle.bigjohnson said:

Maybe that's the spec of the older 1200 and they haven't updated their specs to reflect reality? I think the CanAm has a lot better odds of being a trouble free street machine honestly.
