This is disappointing, and just last week Anandtech shut down as well.

Vulture Capitalism will ruin everything good before we kill it off. 

Autoblog was my go to site until its redesign. That killed it for me; I might go there, but maybe not, and it was down the list of choices.

Autoblog was my go to for years and years. Then they kept changing their comment section to the point that it was unusable and I found Jalopnik.

I hope the garage is wide enough. 4C is so unnecessarily wide.

All forms of writing, including journalism, are art. If you’re as old as me, you remember the heydays of Road & Track and Car and Driver, when they had really good writers doing the journalism, and even better writers doing editorial and storytelling pieces. But really good writers cost money, and that eats into…

Man, for years my normal first two sites I opened rotation was Autoblog and Jalopnik. As you mentioned, there was a strong difference in the two blog styles that complimented each other very well and left us, the readership, with a wealth of information on all the goings on in the auto world.

Hard to get a sense of scale, but the charging station in the header pic looks like it’d still be hard to navigate with a huge EV pulling a trailer if those other parking spots are full.

I love that show

Agreed, I abhor typos. But it’s the first sentence in the article. A simple read-through should catch it.

“When fishermen on the Pecatonica River in Northern Illinois likely had no idea that their sonar would lead to a breakthrough in a nearly 50-year-old missing persons case.”

Not really into his music but great human being regardless.

Jump packs don’t spark because there is no current flowing until after the connection is made.

“Why did the CCGT never go racing? Two months after Koenigsegg started shake-down runs of the CCGT, the ACO and FIA changed the regulations for the GT1 class. Carbon monocoques were no longer allowed, and minimum production numbers went from a total of 20 cars over several years to 350 cars per year. Those new rules…

That dad is a man of class, and I can’t begin to fathom the pain he and his family must now carry. 

All credit for jumping in and getting it done. She is using a jump start pack it appears which is only one step above plugging in a phone as far as the banana level goes but you do have to know what to do and she clearly did. 

Right? In the early ‘90s I looped the US for a month in an ‘89 Mustang GT convertible 5-speed. That’s how you do it.

When did everyone become so boring with their answers? I’ve done this in a C6 Z06, a C63 AMG, a C7 Z06, a 991.1 Turbo S, a Raptor, a GMC Diesel, and an R8, and the Turbo S was the clear winner, followed very closely by the C7 Z06 (manual of course). The Turbo S wins for it’s more comfortable seating, AWD, and more…

Here’s a not-burned version for those interested.
