This car set standards for the world that still stand today. Contemporary car reviews often still say things like “handles like a ‘94 Buick” and “as exciting as a ‘94 Buick”. This is a nice price for what it is - a ‘94 Buick...

Um, no. Nobody ever proposed saving the rainforests by switching to plastic grocery bags. You’re misremembering and bullshitting us.

When one side relies on information from Mike Lindell, Infaux-Wars, NewsMax, Giuliani press-conferences, Trump loyalists, wild-eyed anti-vaxxers, and the Putin-backed media, then yeah. There IS only one side...

Maybe you’d be more comfortable if Jalopnik sought to strike a middle ground somewhere between actual science, and conspiracy theory propagated by tinfoil-hat wearing, conspiracy theorist science deniers.

Here in Upstate New York, we’ve had to live through a summer with temps hitting the high 70s and low 80s and humidity levels often approaching 75% - all broken up by numerous spectacular thunderstorms. We also recently had a suspected Covid death. It’s been real rough...

Maybe one of Urial Jones's grandkids has some cash to burn.  I really like it, though - except for that ridiculous lightbar.  Wouldn't that render this Corvette non-street legal?

I think you’re right. And Hitler's drug issues which became much worse when he sustained serious injury in the assassination attempt of July 1944.

Hitler, by August 1944 was not obsessed with motorizing German civilians or with Volkswagen Beetle production.   After 1943 and Stalingrad and Kursk and D-Day and Valkyrie, Hitler was obsessed only with his own personal survival and, to a lesser extent, the survival of the German people and Germany as a nation.

Maybe this hits too close to home to me, because my parents were both WWII vets and I think my mom still has a touch of PTSD from literally dodging Hitler’s bombs and rockets. It saddens me to think that we have entire generations who are so ignorant about WWII, that they have NO IDEA that they have no idea...

Has it gotten so bad that we have people getting paid to blog about history who are completely devoid of knowledge about WWII? I mean, this wasn’t some obscure war right?

A great start to what should be a cool series. I hope you touch on the Ford Contour/Mercury Mystique. Ford made a ton of them from 1994-2000 and they’re just about all gone (especially the first generation). Seems as of it wasn’t an SVT, it got crushed long ago. Nowadays, I literally see more Studebakers and…

I’ve driven from Atlantic Cty to Pittsburgh and most of it IS a barren wasteland - a wasteland known as the “Pennsylvania Turnpike”. and while it didn't look like THAT^^^, I can confirm that it felt like 2096 miles...

This reads suspiciously like WWII-era Nazi propaganda. By 1942, despite lots of promises, Volkswagens were still not being delivered to private citizens and the Germans stopped believing in the charade.  There was a joke circulating at the time, that a worker at the Volkwagen factory, desperately wanting one of the…

Why, in 1939, would America have had any thought about what to do with Volkswagens? In 1939 Roosevelt was already openly backing Britain and we were essentially in a defacto war against Germany. Germany was not building any Volkswagens for export (probably not building them in significant numbers for any reason) and if…

What? Somebody needs to fact-check this, because the whole premise seems hilariously wrong.

Yeah, it’s a shame that Tesla didn’t hire a real car guy, like Roger Smith, or Carlos Ghost, or Paul Elio, or Trevor Milton to run things. Maybe one of these guys could have made a go of it...

Wall Street Journal? Isn’t that the newspaper Tesla refuses to advertise in?

In many states (I don’t know about Texas) your insurance rates can go up if you make any type of claim - even if you were not at fault. Apparently, this makes it more likely statistically and actuarily that you may be filing a claim in the future. The owner needs to make sure somebody takes care of that as well..,

Musk has done OK for himself.  He didn’t get there by being timid and conservative and beating old ideas to death.  You’re thinking of Detroit.,.

Lol! That shows you know nothing at all about auto design. There’s a lot more to designing  motor vehicles than making cool sketches in the back of notebooks.  The Cybertruck looks like that  specifically BECAUSE it was designed from the ground up and was not meant to be some cartoon of what adolescent minds think a…
