Apologies to Erin (or Erin’s dad, and my friend who also owns a B), but MGBs and vintage Minis, but only because the local British car show is the only one I get to with any regularity, and I’m not so much sick of seeing them as I zip through that section pretty quickly because I’m not looking at like a hundred of

Any lift that raises the height of the bumpers period. If you want to lift your off-roader or mall-crawler, fine, but that bumper should drop by an equal about. It’s actually insane that it’s legal in this, the year of our lord 2024, to raise your vehicles bumper height by 8" without any oversight at all.

One of the few occasions where I think this should be a 1 strike you’re out rule. Get caught doing it, get your vehicle impounded. Then you have to pay impound to have it serviced to be put back to factory specs before you get it back.

I think its really good looking for what it is. Also better mileage and faster than before.

Any kind of lift on a full size pickup. Again, please see your doctor - there’s more effective treatments for micropenis.

Lliteral soccer moms avoid them. Come on! You aren't fooling anyone with the 3 row crossover!

I can see the bad bodykit from here. Buy a 3 series if you want the motor w a hardtop. 

I mainly hear this from non-enthusiasts, but Miatas. People still think they’re feminine and wimpy, and don’t realize it’s the most raced car in history, and for good reason. For $60k, you can get a turn-key, track ready MX-5 Cup WITH a sequential gearbox.

I’ve ridden in a storm automatic C4 on 200 treadware tires on an autocross, it was possibly the most impressive car I’ve ridden in, in the 10 years I’ve been autocrossing. They are phenomenal performance cars and the performance deal of the century.  The hate isn't for the vehicle, it's for the culture, like Harley

From Oceangate to Stargate in one small step.

Welp, these people are as good as dead. Why anyone would choose to trust this maniac’s technology with no fail-safe 870 miles from Earth with zero oxygen in some kind of experiment in real space is beyond comprehension.

Hey, no pressure.

Last year, Jalopnik covered the story of puffy coats posing major risks for kids in car seats due to the looseness of the straps - comment consensus was that the media outlet was embellishing by deliberately keeping the buckle extremely loose - but puffy coats aside, it amazes me how many kids I see in car seats being

You’re damn lucky you didn’t get tazed or lead-poisoned.

I’m not even convinced of that. The BAT/Mecum (or whatever the auctioneer of the day) darlings are going to be the Hellcat variants. Maybe they have more than delivery miles, but there are going to be plenty of garage queen Deamons on the auction block. Nobody is going to care about a standard SRT-8 even if it looks

If you want to buy a low-miles “investment”, this seems like a HELL of a lot safer bet. It probably still won’t keep pace with the stock market, but at least it’s more fun to look at in your climate-controlled expensive storage unit than a stack of stock certificates. You can’t drive it, of course, that would hurt the

Harley Davidson should sue this guy for not buying a Harley.

Yeah this story is pretty lazy or obtuse about the mileage issue. Who is going to be a successful Lyft/Uber driver with a 10k mile per year limit??

“Iffa you donna invest alla your money inna this righta now, you gotta aska yourself whatsa wronga with you?”

I’m definitely in the camp of “infotainment should not cross with vehicle control”.
