Driver: Ever seen the blues brothers?

I'll go ahead and (probably fail to) defend the pictured 456, even though I really don't understand why Ferrari couldn't have picked another number between 300 and infinity for the new version. The 456 was a V12 front-engine 4-seater (assuming you were hanging out with little people). To this day, it's one of the…

I've irrationally loved Ferrari since I was a 4-year-old. I once read a piece a few years ago (pre-Jalopnik because i'm in my mid-30s) that Ferrari bets 'the house' on creating either the best F1 cars of the current day or the best road (non-F1) cars, but never at the same time. I've tried so hard to believe this…

Wouldn't a helmet-cam work better than having a roaming (and creepy German-faced) safety hazard getting in the way? One accidental hit and that thing would break in an instant. At least have it vacuum the floor during it's slow and short-term existence.

I learned from my mother, actually, in an '89 Accord. Everyone in her family was a mechanic, so she always drove a manual. Her prior car being an '80 Accord, and the car she bought after the '89 Accord was...an Acura CL. See the trend? This also meant that my sister and I were required to take our driving test…

13 years old playing one of many Street Fighter II marathons with my friend in his furnished basement. His chain smoking dad was old-school Italian and still had a wire running from his TV to the remote. He rarely said a word to anyone.

Let's start with enforcing the law that is supposed to prohibit drivers from cruising in the passing lane. Once that is successful, then we can talk about other regulations. Otherwise, why create more regulations that won't be enforced?

In our world of recent American car recalls (GM) and lackluster vehicles design (past creations now known as Fiat/Chrsyler), Ford should be screaming to everyone how they don't have to deal with 20+ million recalls, didn't file for bankruptcy, and are actually giving their buyers money because the miscalculated the…

Hasn't every reality TV show ever created already proven this conclusion? Eventually, most extroverts (not all) will proclaim they are the victim of current circumstance if not given enough attention, regardless of reality. The most uncomfortable situation the average introvert has to deal with is being stuck with a…

Usually something on an elongated bun with optional spicy sauce. I'll pay extra for whatever cheese they have.

These Saabs don't pretend to be anything beyond their capability. I can only imagine some of the phone conversations that occurred while trying to order replacement glass. For some reason, I want a sandwich when I look at these beauties.

The origin is actually on the license plate. Here's their website and a video:

My immediate reaction is: Let him do whatever he wants with the car he bought. This is the premiss of all forms of individualization whether it be a car, t-shirt or Quiznos sub. He made it 'his idea' without costing me anything AND I can still have an opinion on whatever I'm looking at. What should he care about…

I don't know, maybe history?

With regard to inspirational design, Mr. Bangle is probably right. However, when trying successfully to sell the idea a self-driving car to politicians and the public, which is what Google is tackling at this point, it sure as hell better not look edgy, sexy, "dynamic" (such a stupid descriptor), cutting-edge, or…

Trucks are big and make noises. This is not new information. Two of five human senses that have kept humanity going for hundreds of thousands of years failed to tell this genius's brain to say, "hey, i should look up and see what the hell might hurt me because pain is not fun?". This doesn't even including one of…

How did the roof not collapse? That's amazing.

I dislike Sterling as much as anyone else. However, being racist, showing some of the worst judgement and pretentiousness a person can have, and being an overall terrible human being isn't illegal. If it were, a huge amount of people in the top level of political and business leadership would not be where they are…
