Can't say I get it, but the sign from the Honda dealer is great.

How is it fair that a cubed harley will sell for more than most of our Hondas will?  ::) :D

Simple..
 Supply & demand..

 There are a thousand (at least) Honda's crushed to every Harley that is..

 That Firestone tire (or Goodyear Death-Grip), certainly looks defiant  in the pic, like it is flipping everyone the bird  :o

Depends.

On an XP machine, go to Start->Programs->Accessories->System Tools->Character Map, and look for the "superscript 3" character.  ALT+0179 also inserts this.

I still don't see why anyone would be dumb enough to pay $2500 for a 41 year old block of scrap metal. And for once I am not dissing Harley, that's literally all that thing is: Scrap Metal.
Unless you want to call it "Art," then you could add another zero to the end of it and people would think of it as a Radical statement.   ::)
