It also doesn’t help when the loudest voices for these causes are hypocrites— whether that’s the John Kerry/Leonardo DiCaprio Davos crowd telling the rest of the planet to suffer from their private jets, or governors and mayors dining at their neighborhood equivalents of the French Laundry while crushing people’s…

Hmmm. Perhaps I’m too laissez faire, and certainly the actual sensors involved may show a more serious outcome for vehicle occupants, but superficially, those crash tests don’t look nearly as bad as plenty of others I’ve seen. Having lived most of my life driving vehicles *without* side airbags, it’s not as if I…

Nah, it’s all special effects, he’s actually pretty tiny.

There are two solutions to this problem, one easy that you personally can do today, and one more difficult, but necessary in the long run.

It’s that last bullet point that likely affirmed Cadillacs plans to give the high-performance “true V” Blackwing models of the CT4 and CT5 sedans the standard stick. Apparently the people with money are interested in driving a manual car, as well as the younger age group.

The bike could replace a model like the Sportster, which is finding itself facing a strong headwind against emissions and noise regulations with its dated Evolution engine.

While I don’t personally enjoy cruises, unlike a plane flight to nowhere (which feels one step removed from “commuter bus” to nowhere), I can see the appeal for a cruise to nowhere. Most cruise ships have plenty to do aboard ship, being at sea atop the waves is a pleasing experience in its own right, and the fact is,…

Join us tomorrow on Jalopnik for David Tracy’s article,

“Historically, I can’t think of a single occasion where it worked, and a few dozen where it backfired.”

And that’s on top of the other de rigueur cold symptoms: the sleepless cough, the bone-deep chills, the sinus congestion, the over-100ºF fever, the fatigue, and the incessant, incandescent rage at your federal government—for failing to implement any proactive protections against a pandemic, for neglecting to take…

Sigh. While it’s not as ugly as the MT-09 redesign, the Monster without its iconic trellis frame is like a Jeep without its grill, or a BMW without its kidneys. I’ve seen comments elsewhere about this looking like a Chinese knockoff of the Monster, and I sadly agree.

Three thoughts, apologies in advance for the implied snark.

The company that builds the enormous contraption says capacity of the tall twin-gantries is 7,500 tons, though each of the two trusses is structurally capable of handling over 5,000 — it’s apparently the buoyancy of the barges that limit capacity to 7,500.

Too bad you didn’t actually crash the car, then it’d be a perfect purchase for you!

Are there any examples of major brands these days actually using their outlet stores to sell excess clothing and last year’s products?

My mom had a 1986 Skyhawk. All I remember of that car was that it was a serious POS. Still, it saved my life.

Aside from assuming facts not in evidence— the author may not even be in school debt, or even if she is, her chosen career may be perfectly capable to rendering those debt (and retirement investment) concerns moot— the fact is, life is a terminal condition, and it is absolutely not worth living unless you take the…

... except Rahm Emanuel is every bit as corrupt as any swamp thing who has ever resided in DC.

Factually proven by how Republican congressional candidates outperformed every single poll.
