Had to bite the bullet today. Traded the 2008 Expedition for a 2014. Couldn't do the 2015, for the simple reason the only engine option is a turbo V6. Somewhat emasculating, seeing as the V6 only fairs 2 mpg better.

Not the best photo, but I couldn't resist! That's my Thruxton in the foreground at the local motorcycle shop. If you think a couple of Hippies got into it and drove away, you would be 180 degrees off! The driver was about 6"4" tall, shaved head, looked like the President of the Hells Angels. His wife was a lot smaller and nice looking. Both were real friendly, told how they drove down to South Carolina and back with their dog.

Looks like you've got about 6" more bike than they've got car. I see a lot of those around here, the P.D. even has some set up for use downtown where parking is a premium. Never seen a hippie in one, though. I did witness the Lord take mercy on a lady in a smart car one day when she cruised a light and got crossways of a late '70s Chevy pickup. The guy managed to get stopped before he T-boned her, but you couldn't have slid a dollar bill between his bumper and her driver side door. I bet she couldn't sleep for a month after that wake up.
