My grandmother was terrifying as a driver in her old age. But that wasn’t due to age. She was always a terrifying driver. Never once got a speeding ticket, either. She did get pulled over multiple times, but evidently had an incredibly high charisma stat, plus multiple charisma buffs.

It’s funny that anyone thinks that the Secret Service can order any president or ex-president to do anything at any time. Is there a law? Never seen one. Otherwise they’re just other government employees.

It’s insane, they turn so early they need to basically make two turns of the steering wheel instead of one smooth movement. The angle they go at also means they aren’t turning into the proper lane and end up in the right lane instead of left

Oh, great, the release cable can only be expected to work once. As if you have a problem with the cable/plug, it will only happen once.

For fuck’s sake, proofread your headline.

We can’t add more comprehensive driver education

Stopping for two seconds is inefficient in time, energy, and morale when there is absolutely no one in sight.

LMAO, you have no idea how modern racing sponsorship works

Technically, it’s OK.  She’s of Italian decent.

whatever the occasion. Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Do people who write for Jalopnik actually like cars?
