$15k for a nearly 20 year old Dodge with 150k miles and one of the worst interiors you’ve ever seen? Sure, it’s got a bunch of power, but they are pigs. Heavy, ponderous things with little joy in driving them, and god awful sight lines. I’m all in at $8k.

It also just doesn’t.... look fast on track? I imagine because of its size, and how quiet it is, and the total lack of drama (understeer, oversteer, squealing tires, whatever) it just doesn’t seem to be going that fast. The Goodwood run just looks like a funny little car running around quietly. It’s difficult to…

But... wait. I’m not much of a mechanic. But to me, what you describe with the Uhaul not starting sounds an awful lot like a mostly dead battery without enough juice to spin the starter up? And a jump box would solve that...? Obviously after trying that it it continuing not to start I would have come to the conclusion…

I just don’t buy that weight is any real factor. It just doesn’t make sense. Whether its 4,000 or 6,000lbs, the disparity between the sedan/truck and 200lbs of rider/bike make it all academic. It’s like saying Arnold Schwarzenegger swatting a mosquito is much deadlier than me. Ok, sure. By the numbers, Arnold can…

EV pickups have to be the least sensible direction possible. I do not understand what manufacturers were thinking when they thought EV trucks was the way forward. People who buy trucks, predominantly, don’t buy into the green movement. So that’s half the buyers gone. They also want to be able to tow, regardless if…

Oh wow, I’ve just given up on clicking any of the links on these stories anymore. Thanks!

So wait... what’s the process for getting into your Tesla if the 12v battery dies? 

Lol

And who can be surprised by that... Tesla has been stagnant for years. Elon has aligned himself with Trump and alienated the people who buy his cars. Their FSD saga seems to be a genuine problem for the company. The Cybertruck, outside of full on fanbois, has been universally mocked and is hated by the vast majority…

True enough.

I was sort of prepared to not give an iota of interest to this thing when I first heard of it. Not since the unveiling of the first Veyron have I cared about any of its successors. But... this thing is just spectacular and different and wild and gorgeous and insane and intricate and I can’t even come up with more…

That misses the point of this article though. A lot of publications seem to be running stories or editorials talking about the collapse of EV sales and how everyone pushed too early and blah blah blah. These articles focus solely on the total numbers - which is understandable. But when the collapse in EV sales is just…

Yeah, finding a 1 series manual hardtop was surprisingly difficult. And it certainly commands a premium. But, lovely little car... 

Why bother changing what you like? 

It’s funny, but most boats are a universally bad place to be when it’s extremely hot. Short of getting in the water, there’s no realistic way to cool down. And there’s frequently very little shade. Going below deck in most boats only introduces you to apocalyptic heat which will exacerbate any motion sickness you…

Hundred percent. It changes the equation very much. Especially because most people are unfamiliar with the concept and it explains the exorbitant cost of the coffee. 

Bathhurst 1000 is amazing, but doesn’t draw much in terms of international drivers. It’s a lot of Aussie blokes. Maybe it should stick to F1, and if so, I’d nominate Spa, where bravery is still much rewarded. That said, there is always Scott McLaughlin.... We just need to get him into LeMans.

Well, I guess I’m with you there. So, withdrawn I guess. The ultimate irony is that the never-ending apparently unskippable ad for video content on Jalopnik playing in the right-hand corner of my screen as I type this is something about the F&F movies with many clips of Walker. So, yeah, they might condone his…

It’s an article about a car. Owned by a dude famous for “driving” cars in bad movies. And famous for owning a racing team. And famous for dying in a famous car. I’m not sure why this article feels so out of place for you on an automotive blog. Just because it speaks about how he was also famous for having a preference…

Let’s just say they were going 200mph, for some easy math. At 200 miles an hour that plane would cover 400 feet in about a second and a quarter. Now yes, that would envision straight down at 200mph and it all gets ridiculously more complicated based on angle of attack, etc., and a bunch of math I don’t want to do, but…
