The new generation of “Compact Pickups”.

That is the golden standard of “WTF were they smoking?” botched redesign.  It went from a somewhat conservative, but still attractive design into some hellscape interior and forced oval everything.  Never recovered from that...

Worrying about 0.028% (yes, you read that correctly) of the vehicles on the road is just stupid.

That’s a pretty narrow view, this goes after a pretty big player in the industry and will have repercussions for everyone else making a similar product. It also sends a warning to anyone else that would want to do similar in the future. And don’t you worry, the EPA has a pretty aggressive emissions timeline for every…

“I say no emissions regulations for vehicles”

I’ma suggest that you could easily call this “David’s Law” in honor of former Jalopnik writer and terminal jeep hoarder David Tracy. If y’all recall, it was legal for him to have cars in the yard of his rental (!) until he pushed his hoarding a bit too far and the city was like, “no, that is not what we meant and you…

Motorcycles are legal. Lots of places don’t even require a helmet. A kei car is safer than a motorcycle. It’s probably no less safe than a 1970 VW. Safer than a Myers Manx-style dune buggy, but they’re legal.  And the average kei car owner probably puts just a few thousand miles per year on it.  Just an assumption,…

Same with requiring bicycles to ride in the street with 5,000 lb F150s instead of sidewalks.

How exactly is having motorcycles legal in the US a good idea??? In an accident they are probably the deadliest vehicle you can purchase under any rule. This is why most nations with a national health system shouldn’t allow you to purchase a motorcycle and ride it on public roads. As everyone else will end up paying…

I don’t think he gives a shit about the sell-off being a brave move. He’s seen the writing on the wall and is abandoning ship before everyone else does.

There are two types of business owners: The type who inject their politics into their business, and the ones who are smart enough not to risk alienating half of their potential customers.

If their respective owners had kept their yaps shut, I might still be a customer of Chik-Fil-A and Hobby Lobby.

The ignorance from Ray. Cant imagine a “blue guy” driving a Scout? Open your eyes, guy, and try to actually view the world around you.

I agree, I mean look at the size of cheapest entry-level sportcar you can buy, hell it’s even the cheapest mid-engine sportcar you can buy right now

My buddy had an F250 with the V10 and we towed his dads small toy hauler up to Mammoth one Summer for a Mountain Biking trip. The clock on the dash showed a solid 3-4MPG’s as we climbed the grade from Bishop to Mammoth.

Of course it was an Altima driver, and of course the Cybertruck failed to meet a claim. I'm more surprised when a Cybertruck performs as advertised than when one fails. 

12 to 15 what now? 15,000ft is the service ceiling for most small aircraft because any higher requires a pressurized cabin or oxygen. Even military helicopters (blackhawks, chinooks...) don’t like it up that high and they are more powerful than civilian counterparts.  Those are limited to 12k without special…

Sorry Logan, I didn’t want to reply to you, but to the article. NO they cannot simply cruise around at 12,000 to 15,000 foot of altitude, that (A)is more than 2-3 miles away from the vehicle, which precludes accurate identification of the vehicle, and (B) that altitude is “Commercial flight altitude” and you just…

I always see those signs in the middle of nowhere. I usually assumed it was code for “Don’t think you can go 100mph just because you are in the middle of nowhere and there’s nowhere for a speed trap to hide.” But I also assumed it was mostly a bluff. 

Yup, that’s how I’ve justified my V8 ownerships over the years. My old boss had some speedboat looking thing called a Cobra with two 454 Mercruiser (Chevy) V8's. Simlar to this one:

It’s possible they’re getting 13 mpg on the highway with those small tires, but I bet the real average on that vehicle is single-digits. The weight saved by removing the roof is balanced out by the bad aerodynamics at speed, haha.
