I dont know if any of you will get this reference, however with Musks talk about Robo Taxis and this humanoid robot and his love of referencing movies (The Dictator and pointy rocket and Space Balls and Ludicrous and “Gone Plaid”.) I am thinking Johnny Cab maybe his inspiration:

I think Aptera changed it to a Tesla charger:

I dont understand in the Jay Leno video in the article at around 2:30 she says that since the seats do not fold down it helps them pass the federal safety standards. So this was a flat out lie? So sad a company like this risks peoples lives to make a profit. 

I like mandates, it forces innovation and we get awesome quirky Jalopnik cars like this.

Why does the girl transformer need to be pink and have the narrow nose? 

Odd take/perspective. Growing up in the 80s and 90s Ferraris were “cool/exotics”, when you saw one on the road it was a once in a lifetime experience other than seeing it on a poster or magazine. Now with every video and angle of any exotic car, super car or hyper car online now there seems to be not so much wonder or…

Question. Other than the wide body kits like Liberty Walk. Are body kits still a thing in 2024? Or is it all about the stance now only? Or OEM “kits”? 

That the Miata is a girls car/hairdressers car.

That Tesla is not an “American” car. I think some are so anti-electric that anything other than a gas powered big 3 car isnt American to them?

Thank you for the reply Bradley and making sure that communication is clear and open here on Jalopnik. On July 11th of last year I posted a QOTD comment and got 24 upvotes here on the site (which I would feel is a lot compared to others) and @owen_bellwood choose the same car/answer from someone on Twitter I think or…

Help. I have been trying to get on the QOTD for the past two postings, once on the failed concept cars (I posted two to be safe to make sure I had a good chance) and this current one with a car you would drive for the rest of your life. All with short “snipp-able” comments and an image as I learned in the past that if…

S-Class Pillar-less Coupe. Timeless style, luxury with a tiny hint of sporty intentions. These big body Mercedes coupes age so well like fine wine.

Electric, open air, cyclops offset tri headlight, brass looking vents, wire mesh wheels, the steampunk feeling Morgan EV3 concept was a perfect concept.

The idea of a motorcycle type feel in a car seated position like go-cart always appealed to me. So when the Volkswagen GX3 concept came out I was all for it.

Suzuki GSX-R/4 concept, it looked so futuristic especially with its “shocks” showing on the hood and trunk. I love me some open air roadsters. 

These came out about the same time as the NA Miatas. My young self always wanted one, convertible, seats 4 (kinda) and hella fun. The “low rider” ones were super cool too! Imagine just cruising with your friends a warm summer night top down and music blasting in a slow small but fun car. Can this type of experience be…

How do trucks like this pass pedestrian safety? A large flat metal front with sharp corners. Or because it is a truck its exempt?

How do they manage to make it so retro yet modern at the same time? Is it the bumpers, wheels. height? What am I missing? 

As a Convertible fan living in Hawaii where we can use these things year round for the most part I have 4 nominations. Although in each way I LOVE each of them in some way because I like odd-ball cars like that:

Out of curiosity any idea why this minority of 4.5 to 5% of the population commit these crimes/murders? Do you think its a cultural thing or more deep rooted? I know that many African Americans claim generational slavery as a main cause of their misdeeds. However they also brought in a ton of Asians as well as…
