Seriously. A bunch of people who evidently hate cars but fell ass-backwards into a job at a car site, and a bona fide enthusiast as nutty as the rest of us. Bravo for this piece and the depth of the reporting inside the factory.

Ha. More like rose-tinted glasses from the Spinelli, Wert, and Hardigree days. Wasn’t always like this; Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Sort of a meh headline. Not really the story.

The decision to headline this article anything besides GOOD NEWS is an indication that fun is dead at Jalopnik.

Not sure why you’re so thrilled about this thing. From an environmentalist perspective, which is nominally what these articles are written with, this competes with bicycles, buses, and motorcycles, not cars. With a max speed of 27mph and no crumple zone, this is not taking cars off the streets, it’s replacing…

Lived through this on my car the other day, which has an ignition interlock until the clutch is engaged (clutch safety switch). That failed, and I was left trying to think of a hill to roll down and pop into gear. A defeat switch would’ve been nice. Same thing I think of with any number of these new, fallible sensors…

“Some Nazi car won the top prize at Pebble this year, which Raph wrote an excellent blog about yesterday, the responses to which were extremely telling and were really more evidence that we should probably crush every car made before the mid-’80s, save for one example each to show future generations.”

I just cited a number of examples of art produced both “by” and “to honor” Nazism (Riefenstahl) as well proximate to it, as part of Fascist Futurism (Marinetti et al). People rarely use strokes this broad when it comes to art from that period.

Practically the entire 1920s Italian artistic scene – certainly the architectural realm – is inextricably linked to the Mussolini administration. Partisan artists did eventually leave their own mark, but Futurism is brutally tied up in the politics of the day. I’ve never heard of a museum, academy, or curator casting…

Few serious people have actually adapted this opinion with respect to the enormous quantity of WWII-era art, design, and poetry plagued by its odious connection to fascism. Not sure there is a need to start now.

Again, a hill start is a basic skill, but it doesn’t mean that isn’t a pain in the neck to have to do over and over and over in traffic, without the luxury of an e-brake to hold. Some countries legally require you to use the handbrake on hill starts.

I’m a big fan of hill assist, though my car’s a few decades too old to have it. Like I said to the other commenter, I’ve been driving stick for years so I don’t roll much if at all, unless it’s a ludicrous incline, but I’m not too proud to confess to the stress of it when it’s bad traffic on a steep hill. Only a few…

You’re not wrong, and I pride myself on decent hill starts, but I’ll still be the first to admit that it’s a pain in the ass on really steep streets in traffic (see: San Francisco). 

Cars with a weak or electronic handbrake are, in certain regions, a pain in the ass for driving stick. There are very few of the latter (most cars new enough for an electronic brake are automatic) but a decent number of the former. My DD is one of them, and while it’s not an issue about 95% of the time, I had a fairly…

I think history is going to look back kindly on the first-gen Murcielago, with that purely angular design language, before they made it messier with the curves of the LP640 etc. The 40th Anniversary cars are just staggering today.

Thanks, St. Reagan.

Bad, but that me laugh. 

Yeah, as somebody who is decidedly not a ‘boomer,’ every time I hear somebody use that, I roll my eyes. Same thing when I hear ‘Karen.’ I have no particular moral compunction about either term, I don’t think it’s “reverse racism” or something ludicrous; I just think it’s thoroughly banal ready-made language that shows…

Nobody has any idea how many cases came from Sturgis, because we have no contact tracing in America, and nobody answers the questions anyway. 

Strictly speaking I said the opinion was stupid and misinformed. Not the speaker. Have you seen the tone of arrogance in all of these posts? Give as they get.
