It's a spoof of a country song lyric, "Rock me, mama, like a wagon wheel". The idea is that the wagon's front wheels are in opposite lock (countersteer).

Woah - looks like I just got approved commenter status! Nvrmnd... I'll buy BUNCHES of shirts!!!
Sorry to be an old man, but is there an option without the text? I'd love to be able to get the shirt with just the art w/ the Jalopnik logo. (This is a sincere question from a loyal commenter who will buy several without the text, but none with it). Thanks :)
I'm very much against this particular implementation, but my conflict is between the larger question of safety vs. privacy. As far as being a "true libertarian", I identify myself as such because that's the best descriptor of someone who is for small gov't & personal responsibility, but liberal on social issues. I'm…
Being a Libertarian, I'm very conflicted on this issue. I personally believe that the government exists in part to protect us from each other, NOT from ourselves. Ergo, whatever you want to do on your property should be allowed (including most narcotics) if it does not endanger anyone else. However, as soon as you…
Re: today's stanced car question. There's a sweet blue stanced Audi around 1:56 that's pretty nice, in spite of my general dislike for the trend.
People said the same thing about Korean cars 25 years ago, and Japanese cars 30 years before that.
Is this the inspiration?
I'm in love with the Colorado, but I'd love to see it lowered with stiffened suspension and a 6MT. Also, that BRZ Shooting Brake is exactly what we've been hoping for, but rip out the CVT and lower it back to its original height. All in all, I wish I were at one of these shows!
I'm pretty interested in this, but I'd like to see an amalgam of the two; most of the elements of the FreeFlow (in mint green or baby blue) with a black chin spoiler & the mechanics of the NISMO. Also, I understand the need to show off tech in new concepts, but if you want to get people who don't have much money to…
Everyone's saying turbodiesel; sounds pretty sweet, but I'd like to see an X-Runner style trim of this truck. Tastefully lowered, 6spd rear wheel drive w/ stiffer suspension. I'm in!
Flying back from England to the U.S. in February across the aisle from a pleasant looking gentleman in his late 60s/early 70s who was dressed like an old-school traveler in a sport coat, tie, and slacks. He discovers that alcohol is complimentary and proceeds to polish off 6 mini bottles of white wine within the first…
4th Gear: Oh, And Honda Hired Michael Bolton
It's an odd word; I think it was coined in the U.S. in the mid 1800s in reference to "coming-up" in front of a court to face justice. It always looks weird when printed. As for the content of your original comment, I agree completely; too many people behave as if their actions have no consequences. Then again, you…
"...comeuppance..." Fixed it for you :)
5th Gear - NHTSA announces tech initiative to prevent highway deaths.
I say you just do full Cyrillic: джялопник
Pretty cool, but the random Cyrillic looks funny to anyone who can read Russian; to me, it looks like JDLORIIK.
They already released the dingo.
The replica Resolute Desk is still at the top of my list
