Counterpoint, women continually get offered a razor that’s the same as the mens razor from 5 years ago, but painted pink for twice the price. Women still buy the razor marketed towards women. In spite of all their collective lifetimes of experience, they buy the inferior, more expensive product because it is painted…

you know, I bought a ‘fucked up’ car as well. a stripped, caged, bestickered, fartcanned (although it is a proper spaghetti exhaust), and lowered 205 GTi 1.9 with a hot cam. It’s done 200k km, probably none of those with any semblance of restraint. It’s uncomfortable, loud, and it makes people either frown or smile. I…

On a related note, I got the hang of inducing a bit of lift-off oversteer in my 205 GTi when navigating tight corners. I am enjoying this, but I have the nagging feeling that this rise of confidence behind the wheel will have a sharp and expensive drop.

Shiny valve covers aside, Jag’s history with straight sixes is pretty terrible. Sure, the 3.4 XK6 was nice. The bored and stroked 3.8 was good as well. Then they decided ‘fuck it’, bored it up to 4.2 and didn’t even bother to make the cilinder head fit the cilinders. They then kept it that way for 20-odd years. Just…

The most beautiful depends on personal preference, but you can’t argue Lancia created an exceptionally clean design with achingly perfect proportions for the Aurelia B20 GT.

Yes. Because if you hit a cyclist with a car, the cyclist dies. If you hit a car while riding a bicycle, the car has a minor dent, maybe a scratch or two. And people are insured for that kind of stuff. The disparity in consequence puts the onus on the car driver.

Are those Proxes R1Rs? Aren’t those the crappy version of the R888 you actually want?

I’ve got a Peugeot and I’m feeling pretty damn smug right now.

not every person is a good person.

You seem to forget that the first hipster hating articles are now a decade old. Hipsters from then are now 30+ years old, and part of the establishment. Deal with it, get some other group of people to hate.

Let me retort by mentioning Opel. Here on Jalopnik, Opel is seen as the cool version of Buick. Across the pond, everybody agrees that Opel should be put out to pasture as they add nothing to the automotive landscape. And if Opel weren’t German and could thrive on casual racism, that Opel would’ve been dead a long…

Because it’s not art if it doesn’t make you look and think.

The Alfa 105 cars also exhibited this behaviour, as keeping traction was important with the solid rear end, although they had factory LSD’s.

I’d like to remind everyone that the first hipster hating articles hit the mainstream before 2007. So in equivalent terms, writing disparaging articles about hipsters now is like writing about ‘darn hippies’ in 1974. Get over it. Get some new horse to beat to death.

Yet here you are, proclaiming your non-snootyness to everyone on the internet.

the great thing about running is that literally anybody can do it, and it costs almost no money

Why is this on 'adequate man'? Seriously between this article and the ridiculous rowing machine rage article this website is devolving from occasional fun advice into women trying to validate their stupid, expensive, or downright dangerous ideas.

and the treadmill does not rely on physical equivalancy, but just on getting tired. You are exactly as smart as those that proclaimed they always knew gravity existed after Newton published his work.

The working principle of the wind tunnel, being that air being pushed over a stationary object is the same as the object being pushed through stationary air is a frequently overlooked landmark of science.

I really feel for you. Really nothing could’ve prepared you for broken apex seals and poor fuel economy. It’s not like those issues are documented to death on an interconnected network of computers.
