Yeah, I still do. Surprised it’s taken this long for anyone to figure out haha.

Man it is a flip of the coin between my 2008 Mazdaspeed3 and my 1990 240SX. I’ve written about them both, but they were awesome and crappy for different reasons.

When towing 3,500 lbs with my VehiCross, I got 11 MPG over the Appalachian mountains. That’s pretty pathetic. I just picked up a brand new Tacoma TRD to replace that VX and I would hate having to off-road anything bigger. The Taco already feels huge and that F-150 must have felt like an aircraft carrier. Trucks…

I’d be quite happy if this Ring pissing match would just end already. Is it cool that car makers want to have the fastest car at an awesome track? yes. Does the way they do it mean absolutely anything? Nope! Now if OEMs gave a single driver (or set of drivers) cars straight off the production line, Ring times…

Awww, Jalopnik hurt Jesse James’ feelings. Does the snowflake need a safe space so he doesn’t get triggered?

You should take a gander at Mickey Thompson’s Challenger 2 or the Goldenrod if you want to see some ludicrous packaging. The engines are not canted like this, but the packaging is still brilliant.

More importantly, it will never go flat, or leave a cyclist stranded on the side of the road.

Is Jaye Frye going to let you into your next Lemons race for the slander you’ve just thrown at all of his teams? I mean at least Lemons racers can actually...you know...FINISH a race...

Out of all of those, 2 are worth buying (the Z and GT-R clearly). The Juke NISMO is just badging: there are zero performance parts on it. The JUke NISMO RS does have performance parts but...it’s still a Juke...why? The NISMO Sentra is a Sentra with a Juke engine. It’s quicker than a run of the mill Sentra, sure,…

NISMO Juke

SUPER JEALOUS. Nissan has pretty well abandoned the NISMO brand in the US. It used to be that you could order most NISMO parts directly from any dealer, but that network has been dropped. It’s such a shame that factory programs like NISMO and TRD are relegated to wheels and stickers...

More importantly, Alonso’s DNFs were both chassis related. After all, Honda has nothing to do with the axles or the floor pan of the car: those are McLaren designed parts. The McLaren chassis has potential, but without the power to back it up, any chassis is going to look spectacular. If Honda can magiaclly pull a…

After looking at all the various pieces, this was Alonzo’s idea and when it became serious, IndyCar bent over backwards to help. I think this is McLaren playing the long game though. They know Alonso is unhappy. Both Honda and McLaren have issues (note that both of Alonso’s retirements this year were chassis related…

I have no problem updating my computer and in fact welcome it. However I would like my computer to ask me nicely for permission first. Or at least alert me that “hey, we’re going to update, if you don’t get to a good stopping point tonight, you’re SOL.” But closing my laptop to go to bed and waking up to find a…

My favorite story wasn’t of mine, it is of my childhood friend. He’s a few years younger than me and he had just gotten his first car: an 89 Fox body Mustang. It was a bit of a pile and instead of fixing the things that were actually wrong with it, he bought a bigger engine and swapped it in. It took him 2 weeks,…

I should ask you do the same. Clearly you missed the entire point, which was if the FIA had followed their own rules, neither Sutil’s accident, nor Bianchi’s subsequent crash would have happened, period. With the helicopter grounded due to visibility, the race should have been halted immediately, as per the FIA’s…

Most reporters are unfamiliar with FIA protocol and the mention that the trip took 40 minutes is glossed over with “but none of his vital signs changed in that trip.” There’s a good, simple writeup of the FIA’s failings here. If you dig further into his blog, you will see some more explanations (also a really good…

If the FIA had done their job the crash would never have happened. They should have red flagged the race before both Bianchi and Sutil went off.

Yes it would have. If the FIA had followed visibility protocol, they would have red flagged the race before Sutil and Bianchi went off. There would never have been a crash and Bianchi would still be with us today.

The rules were NOT followed!!! The transit time to the hospital was 40 minutes and the rules clearly state it is supposed to be 20!!! In fact, if the rules had been followed completely, Bianchi would be alive because HE NEVER WOULD HAVE CRASHED IN THE FIRST PLACE. The race would have been red flagged before both…
