Yes, we have too many rich people. But why can’t we all occasionally indulge the fifteen year-old at heart, posters of beautiful machines on the wall, and appreciate a piece of artisan automotive design if it’s introduced? I don’t see the point in poo-pooing the restoration of a fairly storied marque, just because its…

Personally, I have a hard time begrudging the slightly-expedited career path of a kid whose family has suffered so much. Yes, being a Schumacher has some privileges...and some tragedies. 

That would be true, except in the case it’s just because so much stupid bullshit occurred at a higher level that nobody paid attention to her. Those of us following closely know Chao did an awful job, from slow-walking and stalling much needed infrastructure projects to her corrupt, cronyish ties abroad. Bipartisan,…

That trick about narrowing your browser window to force it to scroll is the only way I read these articles.

Couldn’t agree more with the frustration towards this trend and what it’s done to American cars. It’s so sad looking at pictures from the 50s-70s and seeing the amount of color in even your average US car. The lack of differentiation among base models really hurts new car ownership, too. You generally have to go far…

Yeah, I’m seeing a ton of box trucks from fleet companies leased by UPS lately, but nothing purchased. They don’t exactly seem like a long-term solution, given they haven’t wrapped or otherwise labeled them.

Not to mention that the guy wrote essentially the same article for another place and ran it here. Which, you know, I’m all pro-freelance, copy and paste and get yours, but...

So fascinating to me how quickly it became in vogue to hate Emanuel. Don’t get me wrong, I never liked him. So I don’t particularly care. Nor was I a fan of Arne Duncan, the charter-y education czar. And don’t even get me started on David Plouffe. But just cracks me up how the collective Twitter forces get together…

Well, sure, and that’s why the funds won’t be holding their shirts if Tesla chips down, but I sense an incredible number of retail investors would be ruined...

Right, I suppose what I mean is that the collective risk of Tesla seems to be spread among a great number of concentrated investors. If Tesla collapsed tomorrow, there’d be a widespread ripple on all tech/growth stocks, some funds would hurt, but a whole lot of retail investors would be completely ruined. I guess my…

I know we try to avoid stock discussion on Jalopnik after some uniquely tragic analyses in the past, but the Tesla situation just fascinates me. I actually bought Tesla back in 2015 or so, which I suppose could have made me very rich now, but I’m very stupid, so I no longer have it. I also bought some last year, but…

You correct me if I’m reading this wrong, but having used Google to look up ‘the facts,’ it appears you’re comparing the Escape with its seats down to Taurus trunk space. At least that’s how I’m reading “to seat 2" and “to seat 1.” There is no stat for “seat 3" or “seat 4.” I drove an old Escape for work purposes a…

I appreciate you choosing an obviously smaller car to compare to a seven-seat SUV. A Land Cruiser is also larger than a Prius. A better comparison would be between the vehicles that built the crossover trend as buyers switched from 5-seat sedans to 5-seat crossovers. Say, a Taurus to the original Ford Escape. A Civic…

I feel like I complain about this on every post, but I will never, ever, ever forgive the American public for its obsession with crossovers and SUVs. Crossovers don’t even have more space! They’re just heavier! And drive worse! And make it harder for me to drive the deathtrap tiny sports car I’d love to have, because…

Two things can be true at once. Animalistic capitalists can ruin this site with their union-busting and profit-taking, and the writing can also go to hell along the way.

It brings me great peace and reassurance that few people share a worldview as monolithic, simplistic, and outright boring as yours. Learning how to find pleasures in experiences with fallible and imperfect people who do not share all of your values is perhaps the only way to survive in this world. I’d hate to imagine…

The good news is, nobody agrees with you, and you are in the minority. Just let people have their pleasures. Nobody is forcing you to watch. Nobody is endorsing them 100% in all of their actions and choices. Maybe, just maybe, they’re a source of some comfort and nostalgia for a lot of people and that matters most.

I just click, reach the first page, and leave.

What’s particularly exciting is when the flammable liquid lands on the highly-ignitable lithium-ion battery pack on top of the bus and briefly burns around the casing. This idiot is deeply, deeply lucky. And by the way, if this had been a compressed natural gas bus, which many of the Brooklyn routes are, with a huge…

Wait, did you read the article you linked? It’s exactly and interesting clip and I’m glad you linked it (I was wondering why and when the Gallardo was replaced with a Huracan), but it doesn’t say anything like what you’re implying. The two officers in the car were returning from a convention (ironically on road…
