It’s time to get this red [insert pony or other horse-related noun/cliché] back on the road, where it can [insert horse-related verb like “prance”] freely like the car gods intended.

Self-ownage level: IMPOVERISHING

Yeah, well if you have enough experience sniffing gasoline, you can tell when it’s ripe and when it’s spoilt. Same difference.  

Right, and if an ICE car company gave you 5,000 miles worth of gasoline as a bonus, let’s see how many months you could haul that around before it evaporated! What’s really more volatile, Jason?!

Right. The people sitting those rear seats do not want to enter the car by wedging themselves between the B pillar and the back of the front seats.  Makes no sense.  

I once saw a truck in NC that had a crimson velvet interior that was folded to kind of make it look like brain coral:

Ha! Great story.

Oh, my!

Sorry, Jason, but that’s clearly not the same horse. In equestrian terms, the Steinwinter horse has more prominent white gaskin, stifle, shoulder, forearm, and throat latch shrooves.

Are forums like F150gen14.com run by Ford? They seem a little fishy to me.

Ha! I think it’s just during the testing phase. I did see one of the humans repairing/calibrating one on the side of the road once.

There is something approximately this scale being tested on Ann Arbor’s streets, but always with a human helper following behind on a bike or scooter.

That’s basically what it’s like when you have a speedo in kilometers and you’re used to miles. “100" might as well be a picture that means “around 60” or “around slow highway speed.” It’s like how people that are illiterate can still learn to write their name as if it’s a picture.

I drove a friend’s first generation for a summer while I house sat and my only gripe was that it felt kind of tall and got blown around on the highway. By comparison my EP3 Civic hatchback of similar year felt very planted. Otherwise, I thought it was a fun ride with lots of utility.

You’re right.  These aren’t the vehicles for such a contest.  

Yeah, it should really be extended to those that do not read Jalopnik, but that makes it so much messier. I’m sure that there are charities that could act as the broker/middle man for a nice Jalopnik car donation!

Get them, do enough work to make sure that they’re safe and semi-reliable, then Jalopnik can hold a contest to gift them to readers that desperately need a car.

Oddly enough, it only caused minor snuffles and yips in the grouses, and disabling the human population was the best protection that they could hope for.

My girlfriend has been learning to drive a manual and the emptier streets and parking lots have been a good opportunity to practice in a calmer driving environment.  And we’re critical employees, so we get to make it part of the commute everyday.  

So you’re down to an hour commute time?
