Are they talking to VW? They are REQUIRED to spend like $2 billion on this stuff as part of the TDI settlement. Seems like everyone would trying to partner up with them since they have to spend the money regardless.

could be that, again I’ve just heard people chatting at car shows. That makes more sense though

I’ve been hearing similar rumblings about the Shelby GT350R going into limp mode after just a few minutes on the track. Any merit to that?

Or the ignition is in the “on” position and the car is not running, and what we’re seeing is a needle sweep when you turn the car on

but does he top this guy:

I was in a borrowed sports car one evening and was taking a friend home. Right before you get to her place there is a stop sign at a “T” intersection where I needed to take a left. It was pretty dark on this street so I could see there was nothing coming in either direction, so of course I proceeded to dump the clutch…

Was there any internal “discussion” regarding the new headlight setup?

Was it a group of squirrels congregating outside the local Acorns & Coffee?

1968 Camaro with a 396 - I was 16 at the time, so it felt like a rocket ship.

They are showing the car at Geneva - PR hype/build up before the unveiling. If they showed it October, the hype would have faded by now.

Ferrari 412:

Early test footage?

This is because in Europe most people order their cars, and thus order the color they want instead of picking from what’s available “on the lot”. Here in the US, most people buy something off the lot because they want it today, so dealers order lots of black, white, and gray because most people will “settle” for one…

Why not start a Jalopnik club so fellow Jalops can race together online? Just a thought...maybe there already is one?

SSR had bumper sticker the said “My other car is a Mustang”

I change the channel everytime I hear that song start on Sirius

Audis don’t use the traditional stud/nut combination - they use lug bolts - you can see the 5 threaded holes there.

“Delivery estimate for new reservations is mid 2018 or later”

Some friends and I were going to a meet (in separate cars) one night and me and on of the other guys kind of roll raced from around 60-100, well I got clocked on the slow down doing 87 in a 65. Well the first state trooper comes up and does the whole license/registration thing and I’m like crap this is going to suck.…
