Even more confusingly, Renault Trucks are owned by Volvo. So a Swedish owned company selling vehicles designed by an American owned company and made in Thailand to the French army.

Did the French re-badging include a white flag as standard equipment?

When I was a kid, I built a lot of airplane models and one of them was an SR-71 from a squadron that used the Playboy bunny as their logo on the tail. So from ages 6 until about 10, I honestly believed that the bunny was an Air Force thing. Then one day I’m at a friend’s divorced dad’s house lighting things on fire…

Hearing that the challenger lost 200lbs is like hearing your 300lb friend just lost 20 lbs. It’s a step in the right direction and you are happy for him, but he’s still very fat.

3rd Gear: “I Knew Nothing”

From a gentleman named Andrew, via email:

i was tethered to my seat sir, when the force of your body moves one way while the plane is moving the other you will have body movement, kind of like in a car crash. you ever see those crash test dummies, while strapped in their bodies still move around. how is this so hard for people to understand.

hey dumbass, nice assumption but no, I had it on,like I always do unless Im getting up to piss. a lap belt in severe turbulence on a 50 seat rj wont keep you from hitting your head on the ceiling above you on a window seat.

I was on Cathay Pacific (fortunately, first class), on a flight from Vancouver to Manila via Hong Kong. Shortly after wheels up, the pilot comes on to inform us that there’s a typhoon in Hong Kong, and that we may have to divert. That would have been nice to know an hour or so ago. Oh well, stuck for the next 14 hours.

My dad was on a flight a few weeks ago. Midway through, both engines cut out and they begin dropping fast. People are obviously freaking and nobody has any clue what is going on. About 30 seconds later the engines kick back on and they level out. Captain comes on the intercom a few minutes later saying that another…

My worst is probably more than most have ever experienced. Brake fire.

lol, so do I. I prefer Pest Jet.

I saw a guy crab walk down the aisle wiping his but on the carpet as he went. This was on an Air India flight in the 1970's. The stewardesses (which is what they were called in those days) pulled out some sort of carpet steamer and cleaned the rug after him. I was just as amazed that they had a carpet steamer on board…

Something cheap coming out of FCA? *gasp*

Yes, it is just you.

I think you’re lost. This is Jalopnik.

That stripped-out diesel Golf that Volkswagen doesn’t want back? Yeah, we’re driving it. Story and video coming from our man David Tracy soon.

Hillary supporters would have left an angry letter explaining how bad the fuel economy is for their car and that they should be ashamed.

Yeah, I only feel sympathy towards people who share my choice in presidential candidates and political leanings too.
