My main concern with these inspections is that the potential for abuse is HUGE! We all have heard the line when getting tires.

I will quietly voice my support. While I agree cars need to be safe, I know there will be no half measure like you speak of. Here in MA, I’ve watched inspections grow from simple safety, through emissions and dyno tests up to California emissions. Once the local muckety mucks get a taste of the sweet expired sticker…

The people have spoken Jalop.....the anti- Demuro. Hire thisman

I also wanted to come back and say that this article is awesome. More stuff like this please Jalopnik!

The big mistake was when they paved everything. Before that you could just blade the road occasionally and everyone owned a Jeep. Make America Dirt Again! (see, partisan debate commenced)

I think they would look awesome slightly lowered. With low comp i think it would respond well to forced induction

Greg is cool. Bob might be cool too but you’re too judgmental to find out. Sounds like Bob put his wants behind his families needs. Worked a crap job for 40 years and finally got a reward, then you sneer at him.

Yes. Also, where 12.7mm (12.7x108, generally) is not the same caliber as .50 caliber (.50 BMG, generally). Because it’s called 12.7mm caliber, not .50 caliber. Because it’s not the same thing.

Conrad? Like Heart of Darkness Conrad? Do you think that one of those former Soviet republics isn’t a corrupt shitshow just because it happens to be enemies with Russia? I’m not going to invade anyone over it, but it’s just how it is. Kazahstan, Russia, Ukraine. Have you lived in these places? You’re a dimwit.

This is probably another piece of Ukrainian military vaporware. Before the revolution of 2014, Ukraine was a top 10 weapons exporter, but their military exports went downhill after that. They can produce barely 5 new tanks a year under their Thailand contract even though they were supposed to build like 50 Oplots a…

After the two disastrous conflicts in Afghanistan and the First Chechen War, the Russian military has become a lot leaner and smarter. Russian military budget can go a long way because they don’t get bogged down in 16+ year long war in Afghanistan and they don’t spend money in ridiculously expensive weapons systems…

I am posting French missiles because I am assuming that with President Donald J Trumpster Fire in office, we won’t be doing much to help Ukraine.

If the armata is any indication, this thing is probably made mostly of shredded newspapers and Adobe Aftereffects and the rest of the money is going to the finance minister’s daughter’s trip to Orlando.

Sidney and Gizmodo Staff. We get it. You don’t like Trump. And you don’t like anything Trump does or any of his appointees. But if you turn your website into soft core leftist politics porn (as you are doing):

I looked through a bunch of comments and didn’t see the one I’d recommend or actually get myself if in the position of Claire.

I can’t believe how bad all of these suggestions are (with the exception of Tom’s Suburban 2500)!

Wrong! All wrong!

3 kids and a dog and gear in an XJ? I don’t think that’s enough vehicle for what she needs!

I bought my 2003 Expedition Eddie Bauer 5.4l 4x4 w/ AdvanceTrac for $4k about a year ago. If you don’t want the Eddie Bauer bells and whistles....find an 04 NBX. It has all of the off-road options standard.

I take offense to the Mitsubishi Montero being excluded.
