You, uh, seem to have excised the “every year” part off that quote.

Bad parenting can lead to a life of crime that can cause misery everyone who comes into contact with the kid throughout his life. Just look at the example of Donald Trump.

Don’t want kids treated like adults but when showing signs a potentially dangerous pathology like this there needs to be an obligation to intervene. Right now non-violent (in terms of people) offenses but it’s not a far stretch to see things escalate to endangering people (a 12 year old driving is dangerous but not…

Well friend, here’s the thing - the average conservative supports a rapist, pedo, draft dodging, felonious traitor. They aren’t very smart. They think anything they don’t understand or like, is Woke/Fascist/Socialist/Communist/Marxist at the same time.

Excellent idea, as there was a kit to install a Chevy 350 into the Vega. But I would opt for the V6 instead and keep the manual trans. As the Chevy 350 kit would make them do wheelies twisting & destroying the body in the process, as I once knew someone who did exactly that...

I kinda love it.  I understand the Vega hate, but 45 years later this doesn’t have to be a car you live with.  It’s a car I would absolutely enjoy driving around on weekends...even if that ends up being very slowly.  The irony of the flames might just be the cherry on top.  NP.

It’s almost astonishing how Vegas and even their less-troubled later derivative models (eg, Monzas) have virtually disappeared from the face of the earth. As early as the late 80s, they were pretty much gone from the road. By contrast, it’s not rare to see a Pinto puttering away or parked on the street, albeit as a…

I gave the a no dice,but I think it’s not far off on price. get it t0 $6500 and we have a deal. So regular negotiations might get us where we want to be.

My first cars were a 77 Chevy Monza (4cyl 4 spd), 78 Pontiac Sunbird (4 cyl 4 spd ) These had the Iron Duke engine, not the aluminum block of the Vega, 78 Oldsmobile Starfire (V6, Dogleg 5 spd)

I love my Fit, but I’m 5'7" and 150 lbs. I’ve seen plenty of posts on Facebook and fan sites like fitfreak.net where bigger, taller folks say the front seats don’t go back far enough for them. Some have added spacers.

Why, that sounds like some sort of automotive journalism utopia!

When $kycog would send the COTD winner the scantily clad ladies

Not any one in particular, but I loved the Torch’s Taillights series. A glorious flirtation with madness, with some interesting bits of trivia sprinkled liberally throughout. I also enjoy the internecine bickering of What Car Should You Buy? Honestly, I just really like it when Jalopnik gets weird with it. That’s when…

The Goodyear RV tire story was the pinnacle of Jalopnik investigative, independent reporting that rattled a giant and held them accountable instead of letting it get swept under a rug. Incredible work by Felton and a high water mark for Jalopnik as an outlet. https://jalopnik.com/how-goodyear-hid-evidence-of-the-worst-…

If we’re being honest, I’m willing to bet more people’s ears were damaged by a crying child, than a loud car (excluding track only vehicles). I mean I understand the difference, human life especially a child > glorious revving machines even if I’m not a kid person, and to be courteous and understanding as possible.…

We should absolutely be fining loud babies. Lots of people enjoy the sound of a Lambo, no one is saying “oh cool a screaming baby” 

Noise is noise no matter what it’s coming from

Sleeping babies are usually pretty quiet, awake babies can be outrageously noisy.

I’d rather see a million Mustangs and Bel-Airs at a show over one BroDozer any day. Hell, I’d rather look at a rusty PT Cruiser with fake wood and curb feelers. 

Stancing. Stupid, ugly, dangerous. First off, tires aren’t designed to be driven on diagonally. Secondly, you’re concentrating all your wear on one tiny band, which drastically increases wear and the potential for blowouts. Third, your contact patch is now smaller than a fucking bicycle, so you’ve lost all ability to…
