What a great example of GM and Jalopnik both not giving any ef’s as of late.

As best we can tell, it’s a sand runner/dune climber/pick your term. We can tell this due to the mods, the location of the shoot, and the required orange saftey flag needed to get an ORV permit. I’m not sure how you can compare that to... red tow hooks on a truck parked on in front of a house. As others pointed out,…

Do you see where the picture is taken and the orange pole on the back? This thing looks like any of the million sand runners I see at the Michigan dunes in the summer. It doesn’t look like it was meant to be taken to Moab and sand doesn’t require underbody protection.

Empty roof rack is a problem why? I wasn’t aware of…

What you’re describing is an automatic transmission with a manual shifting mode.  Cars have had this dating back to the late 90's, I believe with the Prowler being the first or one of the first.

I’m with you. All three of my cars are automatics, and all three have the option to shift gears manually with my right hand on the stick. Modern automatics obey pretty well, and most will even hold gears to redline and let you bounce off it.

I drive my Z this way 99.9% of the time (exception is stop and go during…

I don’t hate it. Definitely modern and light. But it looks like it belongs on a gaming PC more than a car.

What’s that you say? Modern cars like the newly shown Ariya are designed like a gaming PC? Then this fits right in.

Because Erik doesn't know shit about cars.  Musk is all he's got.

I enjoy the Zoom Zoom as much as anyone (2/3 in my garage are Mazdas) but I can’t support this. Too happy looking. I’d take the first gen almost just for that alone!  But in more seriousness, good choice besides the useless first gear or two :)

You can’t expect Raph to actually research something before writing about it. Googling “BWM CLAR” takes 20 seconds that he just can’t spare.  Too busy writing his magnum opus about his bike.

A platform developed specifically to handle multiple forms of propulsion is not “a shell of a gas-powered car with some batteries jammed in”.  That’s the beef.

He’s reinventing himself into the David Tracy of bikes. Except, the things David does to cars are actually much harder, more expensive, and interesting.

That sounds harsh writing it out, but that’s how I see it.  This is sort of interesting but not 1,000 word interesting.

Late to the party, but the irony of this post is absolutely astounding considering you and your son were recently almost turned into a bloody pulp in a car that is no more safe than the one in the post.

To those complaining... why? Typically in PvP games, you want microtransactions to be purely cosmetic. Riot has been doing this for a long time with League skins, and it’s also how they are monetizing TFT and LoR.

The price is ridiculous, sure.  But the concept is fine with me for these sort of games.

I tried browsing an article last night on my phone, without a blocker. I almost screenshotted it, but I had an autoplay Jalop video (with an ad to start it off) at the top half of my screen that followed my scroll down, and an autoplay ad at the bottom quarter, with ad bar below that, and literally THREE LINES OF TEXT…

My thoughts too. I had hoped the new EIC would clean things up but if anything, this place has gotten worse. If that’s even possible.

Tracy for EIC!

Jalopnik hasn’t really been big on the whole sensible/rational/logical take thing in a while. They either have obviously-biased takes, hot takes, or no takes like in this case.

That article of Stef’s reminded me how good Jalopnik used to be.  Now we have clickbait and short shorts.

I can’t say; we only play in a limited space: outdoor footwear. But business has been great for hiking, running, trail, and aquatic footwear. Also anecdotally, beaches on the Great Lakes are also holiday-level packed even on weekdays this summer.

You’re telling me. That car ripped out my heart and wallet at the same time. :(

“There’s not a lot of vehicles playing in this space. We’ve got the equity and the credibility,” Mark Grueber, Bronco’s consumer-marketing manager, told reporters in a briefing last week. “We just see it as an ideal time.”
