No, no haven’t noticed that. I drive 20-25k miles a year in and around central TX and have never once seen that.

First time I’ve really been on Jalopnik in months...now I remember why I don’t come here anyone. Check please.

The “B)“ was referring to cheap cash buyers but how many people do you think lost their jobs? Unemployment is 14.7% not 50%; a lot of people got checks and still have jobs.

$1,200 is a sizable down payment on a $4-8k car which in my market have been VERY hot right now. Values on $15-20k cars have dropped 20-30% but lower priced vehicles never really saw any drop at all. 

I meant “17.5 million NEW cars alone are sold in the US each year along with roughly 40 million used cars”. The point stands; we’re talking about less than 1% of the cars sold in America every-year when we talk about 500k cars.

Lower middle class Americans earn roughly $40k a year, $1,200 is more than a weeks income so yes that is sizable. Lower middle class Americans (in my area specifically and I’d imagine in most areas) are still working so that is extra money. $1,200 is a sizable down payment on a $4-8k car which not-coincidentally never…

More Jalopnik doom and gloom nonsense. 17.5 million NEW cars alone are sold in the US each year along with roughly 40 million new cars so 500k isn’t a huge number by any means. Yes, car sales are obviously down BUT many Americans have A) Collected sizable government checks and/or B) are collecting more on unemployment…

3,600 people sick means roughly 360 needing hospitalization and 180 that may need ventilators across a state of 10 million? How would the hospital system not easily absorb that many people?

Where is this that hospitals are near capacity?

Hospitals in San Antonio TX (a city of 1.5 million) are empty enough it will soon cause urgent financial issues. Some of them are talking about restarting elective surgeries.

Oh, good. Its the liberal take on NASCAR again, everyone sit down and enjoy the lecture, its lecture time!

As the owner of an XJ-S V12 I will confirm, worst sounding V-12 in stock form...but once you open them up and add cam/headers they’re beautiful.

He’s a Dr not a lawyer; good grief. 

If you keep-stopping forest fires eventually the thistle gathers up in such volume that a huge fire is inevitable. We can no longer be the worlds fire chief.

JATCO...thanks now thats on my mind before 8am...*shudders*

Damn there’s a lot of cops on avclub; is this some kind of hangout for you guys? First; as a middle-class, white, suburban male fuck thinking the cops or the authorities or whatever you want to call them give a shit about keeping me, you or our children safe. The powers that be don’t give a shit if your kid lives or…

It takes many elements to allow combustion; one of those is “air”. Gasoline has far less free (usable) oxygen than air; up until the point combustion can no longer happen the higher the ratio of air to fuel the more oxygen and the hotter the combustion event. The perfect stoichiometric of air vs fuel is 14.7 : 1 in a…

I’m not sure I’d enjoy brunch with the guy but he’s a helluva race car driver and in an era of white-washed, corporate friendly drones he reminds me of the men and women I grew up watching race in South Texas. Ferrucci, for better or worse (probably a lot worse), seems like the kind of talent that would have fit right…

It’s the internet, everything is overly harsh! Thank you for that and thank you for the more detailed explanation of where this is taking place; obviously no one wants a junkyard in any kind of a neighborhood situation. Jalopnik’s description of the property left me to believe he was in a rural area not really…

If that is the indeed the case then I recant; if you chose to live in a town you chose to follow their rules. I’m pretty sure one of the earlier articles stated that he had been on the property long-term and the township had expanded around him but if that isn’t the case then he was in the wrong. The area also doesn’t…
