I’m just surprised that a little dirt bike like that even has a CEL.

Right now, that may be my top pick to consolidate our utility vehicles next year. I’m sure I’ll want the new model, but this current gen is a great value.
There’s a CPO 2018 Sport Hybrid Advance model available locally here. They’ve been sitting on it for a couple months. I could be tempted if the price got aggressive enough.

and 110,000 fewer miles than mine had when I sold it!

I'm currently living about 50 miles from where I bought my first motorcycle (Honda 150) back in '65. I rode the bus up from Whiteriver to Snowflake and rode the new bike back to where I lived near Whiteriver -- a truly memorable day.
Having a freight company deliver a piece that won't start is in a whole 'nother world -- one I don't wish to inbabit.
I’d be shipping the thing back the next day. I’d be worried about being abandoned when it needs repairs.

sounds more like the issue is that the dealer was in Texas, not local.

next step is to get notified that everything is set, and they open up the payment method and delivery options link. Which never happened. Tried to chat online a few times, never open for live agent. Used the text option (which said at 10:30 AM estimated wait for a response was 1 hour) yesterday, and as of now, no response. They reported longer wait times if you called (which I probably should have, but never felt like dealing with)
during this, the 7 day window hit, and they just shut down my pending offer even though it was in flight. No communications at all. Just now says "expired, need to resubmit" (which out of curiosity I might do, expecting a lower amount). My wife (another skeptic!) thinks they decided it was too high so they did it on purpose. I think they might just be overwhelmed with people taking offers and can't keep up.
Good thing I was on the fence about it anyway, otherwise I would lose my marbles on them. But very unsatisfying experience.

oh, the other weird thing. Went I went on the portal where you upload all the documents for Carvana, the new ones were all mixed in with the ones from the Elantra I sold them 2 years ago. Hopefully it was just on my end not theirs, because that could be quite confusing.
and finally, did discover that the supply of late model A specs at dealers, real thin.

Plan B, Youtube. They have everything. I watched about 5 different people tear down a Subaru engine (I know know the crank bolt takes a 22mm socket, among other useless trivia) and there has to be at least 10 Tubers doing LS swaps into Gen 1 Camaros at the same time. Must be someone on there that has done something with these bikes! Or at least the engine which I assume is not unique to them.

Another Acura is a possibility. But only if the new compact comes out, and it pushes my buttons. Honda could be a better bet. New Civic coming out (maybe it is Si time!) or a remodeled HRV. Better size/price combo.
the updated N line Kona looks interesting, so could go back to Hyundai. Maybe a GTI finally. Ranger, if Ford comes out with an updated model. I really liked the Bronco Sport too.
and what looks like it could be a really good option for a larger sedan, the new Kia K5 (sounds like an old Blazer though!). Which I assume is the Kia version of the new Sonata. But that interior looks really good (the big screen) and the powertrain options are interesting. Plus it seems to be a pretty good value.
and it is faster than a 330i (quarter mile of 14.2 @ 103MPH seems adequate for a family sedan!)

I would not mind having a late 80s downsized El Camino with an LS in it.

Had the thought this morn that I should pull the gas tank again. Maybe a wire is getting pinched.

The top three all looked like 30 yr old XBOX players, and the fastest guy was named Sergei, so I didn't feel too bad...
We took laps on the speedway in M8 Competition coupes and gran coupes (617 HP). Instructor in the front car, and four more cars following him. Bone stock cars on OEM tires. Top indicated speed of 141 mph at the end of the straights, before braking. I had 10 laps as a passenger with a partner, then 10 more laps driving. I was surprised we got to go that fast.
Third event was a 0-60-0 drag race. Probably 200 yards? Side by side. Winner is the first car to come to a complete stop in the box. This was fun. Four cars, all with the same 617 HP AWD powertrain. M5 competition, M6 convertible competition, X5M and X6M. Just plant your foot on the gas, then plant it on the brake. Any advantage you seem to gain on the drop is about 98% lost on the braking end of it.
All that and a free lunch!
